subroutine lsdisc (f, neq, y, t, tout, rwork,lrw,istate )
      external f
      integer neq,  lrw
      double precision y(neq), t, tout,  rwork(lrw)
c!purpose
c
c  Simulation of non linear recurrence equations of type 
c  x[k+1]=f(k,xk)
c
c!summary of usage.
c a. first provide a subroutine of the form..
c               subroutine f (neq, t, y, ydot)
c               dimension y(neq), ydot(neq)
c which supplies the vector function f by loading ydot(i) with f(i).
c
c f      = name of subroutine for right-hand side vector f.
c          this name must be declared external in calling program.
c neq    = number of first order ode-s.
c y      = array of initial values, of length neq.
c t      = the initial value of the independent variable.
c tout   = first point where output is desired 
c istate = 2  if lsdisc was successful, negative otherwise.
C
C # cases according to the difference between t and tout
