differential equations - How to adjust parameters to experimental data on a NDSolve problem


I have 2 differential equations with 2 variables, x and y,which are a function of t and I have the parameters k1, k2 y k3.


                       dx/dt=-k1 x2+ k2 x y
dy/dt=k1 x2-k2 x y- k3 y

I have to adjust the equations to the following experimental data


                       xo=70.26, x(t=720)=45.78
xo=71.04, x(t=720)=46.32
xo=37.23, x(t=720)=24.67

xo=37.91, x(t=720)=28.78

I tried FindFit and NMinimize. The problem with FindFit is that I have multiple initial conditions. Then I used NMinimize, I tried to create a function error only with the first data (eventually, I will use the rest of the data) but NMinimize gives me the following error This is the funtion.


Remove["Global`*"] 
f[k1_?NumericQ,k2_?NumericQ,k3_?NumericQ]:=
Module[{x,y,out},out=Abs[45.78-x[720] /.
NDSolve[{x'[t]==-k1 x[t]^2+k2 x[t]y[t],y'[t]==k1 x[t]^2-k2 x[t]y[t]-k3 y[t],
x[0]==70.26,y[0]==0},{x,y},{t,0,800}]]]
res=NMinimize[{f},{k1,k2,k3}]


And this is the error



NMinimize::nnum: The function value f is not a number at {k1,k2,k3} = {8.17269,8.09533,4.9417}. >>



If anybody can help



Answer



Could be interpreted as a nonlinear least squares problem.


pts = {{70.26, 45.78}, {71.04, 46.32}, {37.23, 24.67}, {37.91, 
28.78}};


ndsoln[{k1_, k2_, k3_}, x0_] := x[720] /.
NDSolve[{x'[t] == -k1 x[t]^2 + k2 x[t] y[t],
y'[t] == k1 x[t]^2 - k2 x[t] y[t] - k3 y[t], x[0] == x0,
y[0] == 0}, {x, y}, {t, 0, 720}][[1]]

ssfun[{k1_?NumericQ, k2_?NumericQ, k3_?NumericQ}] :=
Sum[(ndsoln[{k1, k2, k3}, pts[[i, 1]]] - pts[[i, 2]])^2,
{i, Length[pts]}]

scaledArgs = {10^-5 k1, k2, 10^2 k3};


fm = FindMinimum[ssfun[scaledArgs], {k1, 3, 4}, {k2, 20, 21}, {k3, 5, 6}]

Show[Plot[ndsoln[scaledArgs /. fm[[2]], x0], {x0, 35, 75}],
ListPlot[pts, PlotStyle -> Directive[ColorData[1][2], PointSize[Medium]]],
PlotRange -> {20, 50}, Frame -> False, Axes -> True,
AxesLabel -> {"x(0)", "x(720)"}, AxesOrigin -> {35, 20}]

The result

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...
