differential equations - Piecewise causes ndnum warning in NDSolve


Bug introduced in 8.0.4 or earlier.





I try to solve the heat transfer equation with boundary condition that depends on time:


r0 = 0.75 10^-3;(*Beam spot size, m*)
ω = π ν;
ν = 1; (*pulse repetition rate, Hz*)

c = 1710;(*Heat capacity, W/(m·K)*)
ρ = 879; (*Density, kg/m^3*)
λ = 0.111;(*Heat conductivity, W/(m·K)*)
T0 = 300;(*initial temperature,K*)

T1 = 1000 - T0; (*Hot state temperature, K*)
Rm = 3 10^-3;(*Sample Radius, m*)
zm = 2 10^-3 ;(*Sample thickness, m*)

eq = D[T[R, z, t], t] == λ/(
c ρ) (1/(R + 10^-20) D[R D[T[R, z, t], R], R] +
D[T[R, z, t], {z, 2}]);

init1 = T[R, z, 0] == T0;
bc1 = D[T[R, z, t], {R, 1}] == 0 /. R -> 0;

bc2 = D[T[R, z, t], {R, 1}] == 0 /. R -> Rm;
bc3 = T[R, z, t] ==
Piecewise[{{T0 + T1 (1 - Abs@Sin[ω t])^500,
0 <= R <= r0}, {T0, True}}] /. z -> 0;
bc4 = T[R, z, t] == T0 /. z -> zm;

sol = NDSolveValue[{eq, init1, bc1, bc2, bc3, bc4},
T[R, z, t], {R, 0, Rm}, {z, 0, zm}, {t, 0, 10},
AccuracyGoal -> 30, MaxStepFraction -> 0.05]


The piecewise function defines the temperature at the left side of the z-interval as a short square pulses coming with frequency ω to central part of the disk.


However, solver returns the error-messages:



NDSolveValue::ibcinc: Warning: boundary and initial conditions are inconsistent. NDSolveValue::ndnum: Encountered non-numerical value for a derivative at t == 0.



What's wrong? I've tried with FEM package but it produce even more error-messages :)

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...

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-...
