bugs - Solving integro-differential equation with DSolve in MMA 11.0


In this question DSolve(symbolic solution) gives wrong answer.


I analyzed the 13 equations in which DSolve gives the same solution.


 ClearAll["Global`*"];
 Remove["Global`*"];

 eqn1 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[y'[t], {t, 0, x}];

 eqn2 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[y'[x - t], {t, 0, x}];
 eqn3 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[y[x - t], {t, 0, x}];
 eqn4 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[y'[x + t], {t, 0, x}];
 eqn5 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[y[x + t], {t, 0, x}];
 eqn6 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[2*y'[t], {t, 0, x}];
 eqn7 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[t*y'[t], {t, 0, x}];
 eqn8 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[x*y'[t], {t, 0, x}];
 eqn9 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[y[t]/(1 + x), {t, 0, x}];
 eqn10 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[y'[t]/(1 + x), {t, 0, x}];
 eqn11 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[y'[t]/(1 + t), {t, 0, x}];

 eqn12 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[y'[t]*Sin[t], {t, 0, x}];
 eqn13 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[y'[t]*Sin[x], {t, 0, x}];

ic = {y[0] == 0, y'[0] == 0};

sol1 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn1, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution.It should be: y[x]=x^2/2 *)
sol2 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn2, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)
sol3 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn3, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)
sol4 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn4, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)
sol5 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn5, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)

sol6 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn6, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)
sol7 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn7, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)
sol8 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn8, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)
sol9 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn9, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)
sol10 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn10, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)
sol11 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn11, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)
sol12 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn12, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)
sol13 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn13, ic}, y@x, x](*Wrong solution*)

Gives (*1/2 E^-x (-1 + E^x)^2*) the same answer for 13 equations?



The question is: is a bug?


Other equations that DSolve give wrong answer:


eqn14 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[1 + y'[t], {t, 0, x}];
eqn15 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[x + y'[t], {t, 0, x}];
eqn16 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[t + y'[t], {t, 0, x}];
eqn17 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[x + y[t], {t, 0, x}];
eqn18 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[t + y[t], {t, 0, x}];
eqn19 = y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - Integrate[1 + y[t], {t, 0, x}];

Checks eqn19 equation:



sol19 = y[x] /. First@DSolve[{eqn19, ic}, y@x, x]
(D[#, {x, 2}] == 1 + # - Integrate[(1 + (# /. x -> t)), {t, 0, x}]) & /@ {sol19} // FullSimplify
 (* {2 + x^2 == 2 (E^-x + x)} *)

not True.

From Wolfram Technical Support:


Thank you for contacting Wolfram Technical Support. I have confirmed that DSolve is giving the wrong result for the examples you provided by direct substitution. I have filed a report with our developers regarding this issue, and included the example equations you provided. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. RE: [CASE:3808125]



Answer



A clear pattern emerges. (The initial conditions are ignored for generality.)



(y[x] /. First@DSolve[#, y[x], x]) & /@ {eqn1, eqn2, eqn3, eqn4, eqn5,
    eqn6, eqn7, eqn8, eqn9, eqn10, eqn11, eqn12, eqn13}
(* {-1 + E^x C[1] + E^-x C[2], -1 + E^x C[1] + E^-x C[2], -1 + E^x C[1] + E^-x C[2], ... *)

indeed gives the same answer in each case, and the answer is the same as that from


(y[x] /. First@DSolve[#, y[x], x]) &[y''[x] == 1 + y[x]]
(* -1 + E^x C[1] + E^-x C[2] *)

Evidently, the integral is set to zero by DSolve. Consider next the second set of equations


(y[x] /. First@DSolve[#, y[x], x]) & /@ {eqn14, eqn15, eqn16, eqn17, eqn18, eqn19}

(* {-1 + x + E^x C[1] + E^-x C[2], 1 + x^2 + E^x C[1] + E^-x C[2], 
    x^2/2 + E^x C[1] + E^-x C[2], 1 + x^2 + E^x C[1] + E^-x C[2], 
    x^2/2 + E^x C[1] + E^-x C[2], -1 + x + E^x C[1] + E^-x C[2]} *)

Now, compare these with the following, obtained by explicitly integrating the portions of the integrands independent of y and discarding the portions dependent on y.


(y[x] /. First@DSolve[y''[x] == 1 + y[x] - #, y[x], x]) & /@ {x, x^2, x^2/2, x^2, x^2/2, x}

The outputs are identical to those just above. DSolve simply ignores y-dependent integrands. Incidentally, this same behavior occurs in the equation of the earlier question cited in the first line of this question.


Surely, this is a bug.


Version 11.1 update (Still true for 11.3)



DSolve now returns unevaluated for all thirteen equations. Although perhaps unsatisfying, this certainly is better than returning the wrong answer.

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[ ...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...

calculus and analysis - Integral of the Sinc product

Let us consider the following integral $$ B_n = \int_0^\infty \prod_{k=1,3,5,\dots}^n\frac{\sin (x/k)}{x/k}dx $$ By definition, Sinc[x] == Sin[x]/x , therefore B[n_?OddQ] := Integrate[Product[Sinc[x/k], {k, 1, n, 2}], {x, 0, Infinity}] B /@ Range[1, 13, 2] {Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2} OK, everything is fine. But... B[15] 467807924713440738696537864469 Pi/935615849440640907310521750000 What's going on? Answer As Eckhard wrote in comments B[n] is the n-th Borwein integral . (The letter B was not accidental :) ) This funny properties of Borwein integrals is related to the Fourier transform of Sinc function FourierTransform[Sinc[x], x, k] 1/2 Sqrt[Pi/2] (Sign[1 - k] + Sign[1 + k]) Plot[%, {k, -2, 2}, Filling -> 0] which is the box function. The result is $\pi/2$ while the sum $$ 1/3+1/5+\dots+1/n $$ B_n = \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi \bigg(\sum_{k=3,5,\ldots}^n\frac{1}{k} -1\biggr)^\frac{n-1}{2}\prod_{k=3,5,\dots}^n\frac{k}{k-1}. $$ For $n=15$ it is equal to $$ \frac{46780...
