interpolation - Integration of a function of interpolating functions


I need to calculate the integral of a function of interpolating functions. Being more specific, the function I want to integrate is the following


derUp[tau_] = 1/(drad[tau] + Sqrt[drad[tau]^2 + ftau[tau]])

where drad[tau_] = D[rad[tau], tau] and ftau[tau_] = 1 - (2 mm[tau])/rad[tau]. rad[tau] and mm[tau] are the numerical solutions of a system of differential equations, and therefore defined as interpolating functions.


The conceptual problem that I seem not being able to overcome/understand is that it seems to be impossible to calculate the following thing


func = Integrate[derUp[tau],{tau, 0, tau'}]

with tau' being a variable instead of a number. The reason behind this calculation is that I need to obtain func as a function of tau.


A solution I have tried to implement is FunctionInterpolation, that seems to works very well when the function to integrate depends on two variables, as specified in other posts that I have read on this forum, but that does not seem to be applicable to the one-variable case (at least I have not figured it out).




Answer



There's not enough information in the question, but this approach fits one interpretation of the description of the situation. One can do the integral in the original NDSolve calls that generated rad and mm. (This may be what J.M. was suggesting in a comment. Or he may have meant executing a separate NDSolve call. I would recommend the approach given below.)


Example: The first two lines of the ODE system are uninteresting. The third line computes the integral of r[t], r'[t], and m[t].


{sol} = NDSolve[{
r''[t] + r'[t] - 1/3 r[t] == 0, r[0] == 1, r'[0] == -1,
m''[t] + m'[t] - 1/4 m[t] == 0, m[0] == 1/4, m'[0] == -1,
f'[t] == 1/(r'[t] + Sqrt[r'[t]^2 + (1 - (2 m[t])/r[t])]), f[0] == 0
},
{r, m, f}, {t, 0, 10}]


ListPlot[{r, m, f} /. sol]

The integral is returned as an InterpolatingFunction:

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
