differential equations - Problem with WhenEvent in solving a PDE with NDSolveValue


I have problem with my PDE. The problem is as bellow:


enter image description here I used "WhenEvent" operator to solve it. The code is:


a = 255
b = 2.5
heat1 = NDSolveValue[{D[u[t, x],
t] - (0.0000001 D[u[t, x], x, x] + b*Exp[a *x]) ==
NeumannValue[0, True] + NeumannValue[-7 (u[t, x] - 25), x == .05],

u[0, x] == 25,
WhenEvent[
u[t, x] > 250, {a = 0.01*a, b = .2 b, "RestartIntegration"}]},
u, {t, 0, 600}, {x, 0, .05},
Method -> {"MethodOfLines", "TemporalVariable" -> t,
"SpatialDiscretization" -> {"FiniteElement",
"MeshOptions" -> {"MaxCellMeasure" -> {"Length" -> 0.001}}}}]
pa = Plot[Evaluate[heat1[t, 0.05]], {t, 0, 600}, PlotRange -> All,
AxesLabel -> {t, "T(.05,t)"}]


After running this code, I got the following errors.


" NDSolveValue::nbnum1: The function value        InterpolatingFunction[{{0.,0.05}},{5,4225,0,{101},{3},0,0,0,0,Automatic,{},{},False},{<<1>>},{25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,<<15>>,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,25.,<<51>>},{Automatic}][x]>250 is not True or False when the arguments are {0.,{<<1>>},{2.50058,3.22634,4.16337,5.37266,6.93321,8.94703,11.5458,14.8994,<<36>>,186525.,240704.,310619.,400841.,517266.,667489.,<<51>>}}. >>

How can I fix it? Thank you



Answer



The following illustrates how to use WhenEvent, but I had to change the NeumannValue at x == 0.05 to produce a well-behaved solution.


tmax = .01;
heat1 = NDSolveValue[{D[u[t, x], t] - (0.0000001 D[u[t, x], x, x] + b[t]*Exp[a[t] *x]) ==
NeumannValue[0, x == 0] + NeumannValue[0 , x == 1/20],

u[0, x] == 25, a[0] == 255 , b[0] == 2.5,
WhenEvent[u[t, 1/20] > 250, {a[t] -> 0.01*a[t], b[t] -> .2 b[t]}]},
{u, a, b}, {t, 0, tmax}, {x, 0, 1/20},
Method -> {"MethodOfLines", "TemporalVariable" -> t,
"SpatialDiscretization" -> {"FiniteElement",
"MeshOptions" -> {"MaxCellMeasure" -> {"Length" -> 0.001}}}},
DiscreteVariables -> {a, b}];
Plot[Evaluate[heat1[[1]][t, 1/20]], {t, 0, tmax}, PlotRange -> All,
AxesLabel -> {t, "T(.05,t)"}]
LogPlot[heat1[[2]][t], {t, 0, tmax}, PlotRange -> All, AxesLabel -> {t, "a"}]

The second plot, added for convenience, shows the history of a.


The revised question has a rather different answer.


tmax = .001;
heat2 = NDSolveValue[{D[u[t, x], t] == 0.0000001 D[u[t, x], x, x] +
Piecewise[{{2.5 Exp[255 x], u[t, x] < 250}}, .5 Exp[2.55 x]] ,
u[0, x] == 25, (D[u[t, x], x] /. x -> 0) == 0,
(D[u[t, x], x] /. x -> 1/20) == 7 (u[t, 1/20] - 25)},

u, {t, 0, tmax}, {x, 0, 1/20}];
Plot[heat2[t, 1/20], {t, 0, tmax}, PlotRange -> All, AxesLabel -> {t, "T(.05,t)"}]

enter image description here


Perhaps more illustrative is


Plot3D[Evaluate[heat2[t, x]], {t, 0, tmax}, {x, 0, 1/20}, PlotRange -> All]

enter image description here


Note that the "FiniteElement" Method has been deleted, because it is incompatible as implemented in Mathematica 11.0.1 with the use of Piecewise, If, etc.

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
