differential equations - WorkingPrecision in NDSolve causes failure when solving a simple PDE


I have fivefold multiple integral and I wanted a speed calculations. I came across on this Question and had already begun the problems.


Here is a toy example with simple double integral:



f[x_, y_] := x^2*y^2;
NIntegrate[f[x, y], {y, -3, 3}, {x, -3, 3}, WorkingPrecision -> 20]
(* 324.00000000000000000 *)

sol2 = NDSolve[{D[u[x, y], x, y] == f[x, y], u[-3, y] == 0, 
u[x, -3] == 0}, u, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}]; 
u[x, y] /. sol2 /. x -> 3 /. y -> 3

(* 324. *)


Yes works,but I change WorkingPrecision in NDSolve they begin to happen strange things:



With WorkingPrecision -> 2

With WorkingPrecision -> 5

With WorkingPrecision -> 10

I have MMA on Windows 8.1 "10.2.0 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit) (July 7, 2015)"



EDITED: 07.06.2018


On Mathematica 11.3:


f[x_, y_] := x^2*y^2;
sol2 = NDSolve[{D[u[x, y], x, y] == f[x, y], u[-3, y] == 0, 
u[x, -3] == 0}, u, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}, WorkingPrecision -> 5];

u[x, y] /. sol2 /. x -> 3 /. y -> 3

or:


f[x_, y_] := x^2*y^2;
sol2 = NDSolve[{D[u[x, y], x, y] == f[x, y], u[-3, y] == 0, 
u[x, -3] == 0}, u, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3},WorkingPrecision -> 20, 
PrecisionGoal -> 8, AccuracyGoal -> 8];
u[x, y] /. sol2[[1]] /. x -> 3 /. y -> 3

gives error: NDSolve::initf: The initialization of the method NDSolve`StateSpace failed..



Issue still persist on MMA 11.3.


With no options like:WorkingPrecision,PrecisionGoal, AccuracyGoal works fine.


f[x_, y_] := x^2*y^2;
sol2 = NDSolve[{D[u[x, y], x, y] == f[x, y], u[-3, y] == 0, 
u[x, -3] == 0}, u, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}];
u[x, y] /. sol2[[1]]/. x -> 3 /. y -> 3
(* 324.*)

Answer



Very strange, NDSolve seems to insist on discretizing the PDE to a DAE system, but it should be able to discretize it to a set of ODEs rather than DAEs. The following is a self implementation of method of lines. I'll use pdetoode for discretization.


f[x_, y_] := x^2*y^2;

grid = Array[# &, 25, {-3, 3}];
(* Definition of pdetoode isn't included in this code piece,
   please find it in the link above. *)
ptoo = pdetoode[u[x, y], x, grid, 4];
ode = D[u[x, y], x, y] == f[x, y] // ptoo;
odeic = u[-3, y] == 0 // ptoo;
odebc2 = With[{sf = 10}, Map[# + sf D[#, x] &, ptoo[u[x, -3] == 0]]];

sol = rebuild[sollst, grid];
sol[3, 3]

(*323.9999999697654*)
Plot3D[sol[x, y], {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3, 3}]

Mathematica graphics


As far as I can tell, the above code is just a self implementation of WorkingPrecision -> 16, Method -> {"MethodOfLines", "DifferentiateBoundaryConditions" -> {True, "ScaleFactor" -> 10}, "SpatialDiscretization" -> {"TensorProductGrid", "MaxPoints" -> 25, "MinPoints" -> 25, "DifferenceOrder" -> 4}}, but adding these options to NDSolve won't resolve the problem. Maybe it's a bug, maybe it's due to another undocument feature of "MethodOflines". I suggest you to report it to WRI.

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...
