The correct solution of \int_0^{20} 2x dt" is not x^2, so your target
function 'quadrat' is not what the result of using lsode should show.
Your initial state is 0. At t=0, the derivative is 2*0=0, hence the next
~ value of the state is also 0.
Integrating a system that has no external inputs and is in a steady
state (dx/dt=x=0) will not give you a very interesting simulation.
