numerical integration - Solving wave equation with singular initial conditions



I am trying to compute the solution to the wave equation using NDSolveValue and singular initial displacement (continuous, but not differentiable in a point). I need to propagate as accurately as possible the singularity of the initial condition through time. However the singularity is "smoothened" during the integration, see below.


enter image description here


The red curve is my initial condition in displacement. The purple one is the output at a different time of the computation. As you can see, the purple curve is perfectly smooth, while it shouldn't.


Here you can see a piece of the script I use to get these solutions :


(*initialisation of parameters and initial conditions*)
Sigma0 = 0.002; g0 = 0.001; L = 1; ρ = 1; Ei = 1; c =Sqrt[Ei/ρ]; epsi = 10^-7.;
qu[x_] :=
Piecewise[{{(-1 Sigma0/Ei) x, 0 <= x <= L/2}, {(-1 Sigma0/Ei) L/2,
L/2 <= x <= L}}];
qv[x_] :=

Piecewise[{{0, 0 <= x <= L/2}, {(c Sigma0/Ei), L/2 <= x <= L}}];

(*Building of a periodic Solution according to the wave equation
in Dirichlet-Neumann Boundary condition*)

u0[x_] := qu[x];
v0[x_] := qv[x];
uif = NDSolveValue[{D[u[x, t], {t, 2}] - D[u[x, t], {x, 2}] == 0,
u[x, 0] == u0[x], (D[u[x, t], t] /. t -> 0) ==
v0[x], (D[u[x, t], x] /. x -> L) == 0, u[0, t] == 0},

u, {x, 0, L}, {t, -10, 10}];
tc = t /. FindRoot[uif[L, t] - g0, {t, 0.1}];

(*Plot of the solution at a time tc in purple and the initial condition*)
Show[Plot[uif[x, 0], {x, 0, L}, PlotPoints -> 200, PlotStyle -> Red],
Plot[uif[x, tc], {x, 0, L}, PlotPoints -> 200, PlotStyle -> Purple],
PlotRange -> {{0, L}, All}, AxesLabel -> {"Time", "Displacement"}]

I get those warnings during all the computation :




NDSolveValue::mxsst: Using maximum number of grid points 10000 allowed by the MaxPoints or MinStepSize options for independent variable x.


NDSolveValue::eerr: Warning: scaled local spatial error estimate of 185.53982144076966 at t = 20. in the direction of independent variable x is much greater than the prescribed error tolerance. Grid spacing with 25 points may be too large to achieve the desired accuracy or precision. A singularity may have formed or a smaller grid spacing can be specified using the MaxStepSize or MinPoints method options.


NDSolveValue::ndstf: At t == -2.61883, system appears to be stiff. Methods Automatic, BDF, or StiffnessSwitching may be more appropriate.

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[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
