differential equations - singularity in NDSolve for some values of parameter


my equation is:


k[a_?NumericQ, b_?NumericQ, c_?NumericQ] := NDSolve[{r^3 b x''[r] y[r] - 12 x[r] y[r] - 
 4 r^3 b y''[r] x[r] == 0, 4 (2 x'[r]^2 + 
    2 x[r]x''[r])/Sqrt[c] + (2 y'[r]^2 + 
    2 y[r] y''[r])/Sqrt[c] == -4b/r,x[1] == 0, y[1] == Sqrt[-4 b Log[2/b]/(c^(-1/2))],
y'[1] == c^(1/4) (-4 b - 4 b Log[2 /b])/(2 Sqrt[-4 b Log[2/b] ] ), x'[1] == a},
 {x, y}, {r, 1, b/2}, MaxSteps -> 1000000]

and then I plot it:



Plot[Evaluate[{x[r], y[r]} /. k[1, 50, 10^(-7)]], {r, 1, 25}]

enter image description here


this one is okay, cause x[r] and y[r] both equal to 0 at r=b/2


if I set a=0 and the other parameters stay the same


enter image description here


I do not know how comes this sigularity at r=b/2, basing on the second equation in NDSolve, 4 (2 x'[r]^2 + 2 x[r]x''[r])/Sqrt[c] + (2 y'[r]^2 + 2 y[r] y''[r])/Sqrt[c] == -4b/r comes from the second derivative of r in this equation:


c^(-1/2) 4 x[r]^2 + c^(-1/2) y[r]^2 == -4 r b Log[(2 r)/b]


so it's easy to check, if x[r]=0 all the way, y[r] should be 0 at r=b/2


does anyone know how to resolve the infinity at r=b/2 for any values of the parameter? a>=0, b>2, 10^(-3)>c>10^(-7)



thanks a lot



Answer



I think this is just another story of WorkingPrecision, let's try a higher one, say, 32:


k[a_?NumericQ, b_?NumericQ, c_?NumericQ] := 
 NDSolve[{r^3 b x''[r] y[r] - 12 x[r] y[r] - 4 r^3 b y''[r] x[r] == 0,
    4 (2 x'[r]^2 + 2 x[r] x''[r])/
       Sqrt[c] + (2 y'[r]^2 + 2 y[r] y''[r])/Sqrt[c] == -4 b/r, 
   x[1] == 0, y[1] == Sqrt[-4 b Log[2/b]/(c^(-1/2))], 
   y'[1] == c^(1/4) (-4 b - 4 b Log[2/b])/(2 Sqrt[-4 b Log[2/b]]), 
   x'[1] == a}, {x, y}, {r, 1, b/2}, WorkingPrecision -> 32]


Plot[Evaluate[{x[r], y[r]} /. k[0, 50, 10^(-7)]], {r, 1, 25}]

enter image description here


OK, the singularity disappears.

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...
