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.

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...

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...

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}]
