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.

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...
