plotting - Plot the solution from DSolve


I'm trying to solve a differential equation as in the following code:


FullSimplify[DSolve[x'[t] == a + b E^(g t) + (c + d E^(-g t)) x[t], x[t], t]]

which generates

Now, I would like to plot it with specific parameter values assigned, for example: a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4; g = 0.1; A = 1 where I replaced the integration constant c_1 with A.


Here is my code for plotting x[t]:


a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4; g = 0.1; A = 1

x[t_] := E^(-((d E^(-g t))/g) + c t) (A + Integrate[E^((d E^(-g K[1]))/g - c K[1]) (a + b E^(g K[1])), {K[1], 1, t}])
Plot[x[t], {t, 1, 10}]

It runs forever. To check whether Mathematica is doing calculations, I tried


x[1]

and it yielded


3.83926*10^-15

which is nice. But when I tried



x[2]

I got

It seems Mathematica cannot compute the integral unless the integration region is $\int_1^1$. Is this because the integrand is too complicated? Is there any way to let Mathematica compute it? Thanks!



Answer



It runs forever, since you used := instead of = so it was trying to integrate it each time for each different range of t.


You need to integrate it once (which will take few seconds), and then use the result instead. Much faster now, since when you change t, it will not integrate it again. And changed g = 0.1 to g=1/10 as it is best to use exact numbers with Integrate


Try


ClearAll[t, x]

a = 1; b = 2; c = 3; d = 4; g = 1/10; A = 1;
x[t_] = E^(-((d E^(-g t))/g) + c t) (A +
Integrate[
E^((d E^(-g K[1]))/g - c K[1]) (a + b E^(g K[1])), {K[1], 1,
t}]);

Plot[x[t], {t, 1, 3}]

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]],
