Integrate-system integrates the system
y_k' = f_k(y_1, y_2, ..., y_n), ; k = 1, ..., n
of differential equations with the method of Runge-Kutta.
The parameter system-derivative is a function that takes a system
state (a vector of values for the state variables y_1, ..., y_n)
and produces a system derivative (the values y_1', ..., y_n').
The parameter initial-state provides an initial
system state, and h is an initial guess for the length of the
integration step.
The value returned by integrate-system is an infinite stream of
system states.
(define integrate-system
(lambda (system-derivative initial-state h)
(let ((next (runge-kutta-4 system-derivative h)))
(letrec ((states
(cons initial-state
(delay (map-streams next
states)))))
states))))
Runge-Kutta-4 takes a function, f, that produces a
system derivative from a system state. Runge-Kutta-4
produces a function that takes a system state and
produces a new system state.

;; y is a system state
(let* ((k0 (*h (f y)))

Map-streams is analogous to map: it applies its first
argument (a procedure) to all the elements of its second argument (a
stream).
(define map-streams
(lambda (f s)
(cons (f (head s))
(delay (map-streams f (tail s))))))
Infinite streams are implemented as pairs whose car holds the first element of the stream and whose cdr holds a promise to deliver the rest of the stream.
(define head car) (define tail (lambda (stream) (force (cdr stream))))The following illustrates the use of
integrate-system in
integrating the system
C (dvC / dt) = -iL - (vC / R)
L (diL / dt) = vC
which models a damped oscillator.
