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


enter image description here


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 ∫11. 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}]

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...

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...

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}]
