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.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

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...
