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:

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...
