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

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...

calculus and analysis - Integral of the Sinc product

Let us consider the following integral $$ B_n = \int_0^\infty \prod_{k=1,3,5,\dots}^n\frac{\sin (x/k)}{x/k}dx $$ By definition, Sinc[x] == Sin[x]/x , therefore B[n_?OddQ] := Integrate[Product[Sinc[x/k], {k, 1, n, 2}], {x, 0, Infinity}] B /@ Range[1, 13, 2] {Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2} OK, everything is fine. But... B[15] 467807924713440738696537864469 Pi/935615849440640907310521750000 What's going on? Answer As Eckhard wrote in comments B[n] is the n-th Borwein integral . (The letter B was not accidental :) ) This funny properties of Borwein integrals is related to the Fourier transform of Sinc function FourierTransform[Sinc[x], x, k] 1/2 Sqrt[Pi/2] (Sign[1 - k] + Sign[1 + k]) Plot[%, {k, -2, 2}, Filling -> 0] which is the box function. The result is $\pi/2$ while the sum $$ 1/3+1/5+\dots+1/n $$ B_n = \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi \bigg(\sum_{k=3,5,\ldots}^n\frac{1}{k} -1\biggr)^\frac{n-1}{2}\prod_{k=3,5,\dots}^n\frac{k}{k-1}. $$ For $n=15$ it is equal to $$ \frac{46780...
