Tolerance

[60eem023]

Dear Sirs:
Receutly, we had an opportunity of using one of your build-in functions,
"lsode", for solving ordinary differential equation. 
However, we found that, for initial values of variable x's smaller than 
approximately 1.0e-8, the computational results are not reliable.
We speculated that this is related to the setting of the tolerance 
value for the variables.
According to your Octave manual, we quessed, the alteration of 
the tolerance could be made by using the command "lsode_options" or 
something like that. 
So that we tried to input the command such as 
"lsode_options(absolute tolerance, 1.0e-15)".
However, this command did'nt work.
Accordingly, we are very much obliged if you could inform us 
how to correctly input the command for the alteration of the tolerance.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely yours.
