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.

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...

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...

How to remap graph properties?

Graph objects support both custom properties, which do not have special meanings, and standard properties, which may be used by some functions. When importing from formats such as GraphML, we usually get a result with custom properties. What is the simplest way to remap one property to another, e.g. to remap a custom property to a standard one so it can be used with various functions? Example: Let's get Zachary's karate club network with edge weights and vertex names from here: http://nexus.igraph.org/api/dataset_info?id=1&format=html g = Import[ "http://nexus.igraph.org/api/dataset?id=1&format=GraphML", {"ZIP", "karate.GraphML"}] I can remap "name" to VertexLabels and "weights" to EdgeWeight like this: sp[prop_][g_] := SetProperty[g, prop] g2 = g // sp[EdgeWeight -> (PropertyValue[{g, #}, "weight"] & /@ EdgeList[g])] // sp[VertexLabels -> (# -> PropertyValue[{g, #}, "name"]...
