numerical integration - iteratively solve integral equation


Updated:


I am solving the following integral equation for $f(k)$


$$f(k)=-\iint d^2p\,d^2q\frac1{g(p)}\frac1{g(p-q)}\left(\frac 1{g(k-q)}-\frac1{g(-q)}\right)$$


where $g(k)=k^2+f(k)$


so the equation is


$$\small f(k)=-\iint d^2p\,d^2q\frac1{p^2+f(p)}\frac1{(p-q)^2+f(\vert p-q\vert)}\left(\frac 1{(k-q)^2+f(\vert k-q\vert)}-\frac1{q^2+f(q)}\right)$$


where $f(k)$ and $g(k)$ are isotropic functions in 2D.



Before I start numerically solving it, I am expecting that $f(k)$ is linearly increasing at small $k$ from $(0,0)$ and becomes constant for large $k$.


Here I tried to solve it iteratively, starting with the trial function $f(k)=1$:


f[k_] = 1;
g[k_] = k^2 + f[k];
iterstep := (values = Table[{k, NIntegrate[-p q/
g[p]/(p^2 + q^2 - 2 p q Cos[ϕp - ϕq] + f[Sqrt[ p^2 + q^2 - 2 p
q Cos[ϕp - ϕq] ]]) (1/(k^2 + q^2 - 2 k q Cos[ϕq] +
f[Sqrt[k^2 + q^2 - 2 k q Cos[ϕq]]])-1/g[q]), {p, 0, 50}, {q, 0,
50}, {ϕp, 0, 2 π}, {ϕq, 0, 2 π}, Method -> "QuasiMonteCarlo",
PrecisionGoal -> 4,]}, {k, 0, 50, 10}] ;

f1[k_]= InterpolatingPolynomial[values, k];
f[x_] = Piecewise[{{f1[x], x < 50}, {f1[50], x > 50}}]
g[k_] = k^2 + f[k];)
plot := Show[Plot[f[k], {k, 0, 50}, PlotRange -> All], ListPlot[values]];

I do the integral from 0 to a cutoff 50 and evaluate $f(k)$ at 5 points form 0 to 50 then do a fit to get new function $f(k)$ for next step.


after 1st step:

4th step

The major problem now: iteration is not contractive. Jump between high slope to low slope to even higher and even lower. How to change the program? Another better method?


The minor problem: I want to improve numerical integral accuracy. I have been asking about related numerical integral before: Multidimensional NIntegral with singularity. Some good advices were given.

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-...

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...
