differential equations - Cleaner Approach to Plotting Multiple Solution Curves on Phase Portrait


I am trying to plot multiple solution curves onto a phase portrait. I used the approach shown here, but is there a cleaner approach?


For example, can we just add a parameter $n$, that randomly selects $n$ random initial conditions in each quadrant and plot those solutions curves? Of course, those random ICs would be in the domain of the solution.


  graph1 = StreamPlot[{4/3 x + 2/3 y, 1/3 x + 5/3 y}, {x, -8, 8}, {y, -8, 8}];

gensol[x0_, y0_] :=

NDSolve[{x'[t] == 4/3 x[t] + 2/3 y[t], y'[t] == 1/3 x[t] + 5/3 y[t],
x[0] == x0, y[0] == y0}, {x, y}, {t, -8, 8}];

sol[1] = gensol[4, 0];
sol[2] = gensol[-1, 0];
sol[3] = gensol[-3, 3];
sol[4] = gensol[3, 3];
sol[5] = gensol[3, -3];

graph2 = Table[

ParametricPlot[Evaluate[{x[t] /. sol[i][[1]], y[t] /. sol[i][[1]]}], {t,-8, 8},
PlotRange -> {{-8, 8}, {-8, 8}}, PlotStyle -> Hue[i/5]], {i,
5}] // Flatten;

Show[Join[graph2, {graph1}], ImageSize -> 200]

Answer



It's not quite that simple because random initial conditions may not generate useful trajectories, i.e. trajectories that show different parts of the phase plane and don't lie too close to each other. I wrote a package to find suitable initial conditions, and plot those, which you can find here: https://github.com/cekdahl/PhasePortrait


Here's an example of what it generates for your system:



PhasePortrait[{
x'[t] == 4/3 x[t] + 2/3 y[t],
y'[t] == 1/3 x[t] + 5/3 y[t]
}, {x, y}, t, {{-8, -8}, {8, 8}},
PortraitDensity -> 5
]

Mathematica graphics


PortraitDensity controls the number of trajectories. The higher the density, the more trajectories you get.


You can read more about the package in the read me file on Github.

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
