numerics - Variation of heat equation with guessed initial condition


Hi I am trying to solve a variation of the heat equation with interaction terms and external source -- actually it's the Schrödinger-Newton equation if that's more familiar to you. \begin{align} i \dot \psi & = -\nabla^2 \psi + \psi \phi_N + |\psi|^2\psi, \cr \nabla^2 \phi_N & = |\psi|^2, \end{align}



The boundary condition is that $\psi, \phi$ both vanish at large radius and its first derivative vanishes at zero:


\begin{align} \frac{d \psi}{d r}(0,t) &= 0, \cr \psi(\infty,t) &= 0, \cr \frac{d \phi}{d r}(0,t) &= 0, \cr \phi(\infty,t) &= 0. \end{align}


The exact form of initial condition is not known and the requirement is the wave function being real at t=0, it vanishes at $r$ being large. Since NDSolve requires an explicit initial condition, I've been trying the following code with a guessed initial condition:


\begin{align} \psi(r,0) &= (1+r) \mathrm{e}^{-r}, \cr \phi(r,0) &=\phi_0(r), \end{align} where $\phi_0(r)$ is the solution of $\nabla^2 \phi = (1+r)^2 \mathrm{e}^{-2r}$, with $\frac{d \phi_0}{d r} (0) = 0$, and $\phi_0(\infty) = 0$.


So far I haven't got much success to run the code. The kernel complains about zero differential order(pdord), inconsistency (ibcinc), insufficient number of boundary conditions (bcart), unable to continue with complex values (mconly), and unable to find initial conditions that satisfy (icfail). Is there any way to solve it with NDSolve?

Answer



ibcinc warning isn't a big deal here, because the i.c. and b.c. are almost consistent. The hard part is pdord warning. (bcart, mconly and icfail are probably by-products of it. )


pdord pops up because the equation system doesn't explicitly contain derivative of $\phi$ with respect to $t$, and several previous questions in this site suggest that, NDSolve just can't directly handle this type of problem well at the moment (probably due to the not-strong-enough DAE solver). So we need to transform the equation a bit to help NDSolve to use an ODE solver to solve it.


We first separate real and imaginary part of the equation because Conjugate turns out to be hard to handle in later step:


rStart0 = 1/100;
rEnd0 = 5;
epsilon = 0(*1/10^5*);


tmpψinitial[r_] := (1 + r) E^-r
tmpϕinitial[r_] =
DSolve[{D[ϕ[r], r, r] == (1 + r)^2 E^(-2 r), (D[ϕ[r], r] /. r -> 0) ==
epsilon, ϕ[rEnd0] == epsilon}, ϕ[r], r][[1, 1, -1]];


Unevaluated[
eqn = {-I*D[ψ[r, t], t] -
1/2*(D[ψ[r, t], r, r] + 2/r*D[ψ[r, t], r]) + ψ[r, t]*ψ[r, t]*
Conjugate[ψ[r, t]] + ψ[r, t]*ϕ[r, t] == 0,

2/r*D[ϕ[r, t], r] + D[ϕ[r, t], r, r] ==
Conjugate[ψ[r, t]]*ψ[r, t]};

ic = {ψ[r, 0] == tmpψinitial[r], ϕ[r, 0] == tmpϕinitial[r]};
bc = {(D[ψ[r, t], r] /. r -> rStart0) ==
epsilon, (D[ϕ[r, t], r] /. r -> rStart0) == epsilon, ψ[rEnd0, t] ==
epsilon, ϕ[rEnd0, t] ==
epsilon};] /. {ψ -> (psiR[#, #2] + I psiI[#, #2] &), ϕ -> (phiR[#, #2] +
I phiI[#, #2] &)};



systemnew = {repart, impart} = ComplexExpand@Map[#, {eqn, ic, bc}, {3}] & /@ {Re, Im};

Next we add derivative with respect to t to the 2nd equation:


addD = MapAt[D[#, t] &, #, {1, 2}] &;
{eqnfinal, icfinal, bcfinal} = Transpose[addD /@ systemnew];

Still, NDSolve isn't able to handle eqnfinal (I believe it's related to this problem), so we need to discretize the system to an ODE system all by ourselves. I'll use pdetoode for the task:


points = 25; domain = {rStart0, rEnd0}; grid = Array[# &, points, domain];
difforder = 4;

(* Definition of pdetoode isn't included in this post,
please find it in the link above. *)
ptoofunc = pdetoode[{psiR, psiI, phiR, phiI}[r, t], t, grid, difforder];

del = #[[2 ;; -2]] &;

ode = Map[del, ptoofunc[eqnfinal], {2}];

odeic = ptoofunc@icfinal;


odebc = With[{sf = 1}, Map[sf # + D[#, t] &, ptoofunc@bcfinal, {3}]];

tend = 10;

The last step is to solve the discretized system. Directly solving {ode, odeic, odebc} with NDSolve is OK, but when points becomes large (increasing points is perhaps the most efficient way for increasing precision in this case), the pre-processing inside NDSolve will become very slow (it internally use Solve to transform the system, for more information you may check this post), so, again, we need to transform the system by ourselves outside of NDSolve, with the help of CoeffcientArrays and LinearSolve, given the system is a linear system for derivatives with respect to t:


(* The following can be used but is slow: *)
(*
sollst = NDSolveValue[{ode, odeic, odebc},
Outer[#[#2] &, {psiR, psiI, phiR, phiI}, grid], {t, 0, tend},
Method -> {"EquationSimplification" -> "Solve"} ];

*)
(* More advanced but faster approach: *)
lhs = D[Flatten@Outer[#[#2][t] &, {psiR, psiI, phiR, phiI}, grid], t];
{b, m} = CoefficientArrays[Flatten[{ode, odebc}], lhs]; // AbsoluteTiming
rhs = LinearSolve[m, -b]; // AbsoluteTiming

sollst = NDSolveValue[{odeic, lhs == rhs // Thread},
Outer[#[#2] &, {psiR, psiI, phiR, phiI}, grid], {t, 0, tend},
Method -> {"EquationSimplification" -> "Solve"},
MaxSteps -> Infinity]; // AbsoluteTiming


sol = rebuild[#, grid, 2] & /@ sollst

label = {Re@ψ, Im@ψ, Re@ϕ, Im@ϕ};

Partition[Table[
Plot3D[sol[[i]][r, t], #, {t, 0, tend}, PlotRange -> All, PlotLabel -> label[[i]]] &@
Flatten@{r, domain}, {i, 4}], 2] // GraphicsGrid

Mathematica graphics



BTW, the following is a even more advanced but even faster approach to solve for sol:


varlst = Flatten@Outer[#[#2][t] &, {psiR, psiI, phiR, phiI}, grid];
varmid = Compile`GetElement[lst, #] & /@ Range@Length@varlst;
crhs = Compile[{{lst, _Real, 1}}, #,
RuntimeOptions -> "EvaluateSymbolically" -> False] &[
rhs /. Thread[varlst -> varmid]];
iclst = LinearSolve[#2, -#] & @@ CoefficientArrays[Flatten@odeic, varlst /. t -> 0];
solvector =
NDSolveValue[{vector[0] == iclst, vector'[t] == crhs@vector[t]}, vector, {t, 0, tend},
MaxSteps -> Infinity]; // AbsoluteTiming


sol = ListInterpolation[#, {grid, solvector["Coordinates"][[1]]}] & /@
Partition[Transpose@Developer`ToPackedArray@solvector["ValuesOnGrid"], points];

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
