Help with maxima



Hello list,

For twenty years I have worked to find a mathematical model 
of the hearing system. I now am satisfied that my model 
works for humans. microchiropter and odontocetes. To 
implement the final piece of software I need to solve for 
the outputs, as a function of time, of each of 3200 inner 
hair cells. This is equivalent to 6400 DE's which, because 
of the geometry, form a tri-diagonal matrix.

1.    At each of the 3200 IHC I have a second order DE. 
representing a "T" section of RLC components. As the index 
(1 - 3200) changes so do the values of the RLC components.

2.    What is the best way to determine the individual 
equations for use in Runge-Kutta ?

3.    6400 first order DE's is a long way to go. Has anyone 
any ideas for me ?

Fred
