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[ ...

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...
