differential equations - DSolve and coupled linear first order PDEs


Does any one know a trick to make DSolve find solution to this coupled linear first order PDE system: (these are Cauchy-Riemann PDE equations, but with one of them having one of the dependent variables as well).


ClearAll[F1,F2,x,y];

ode1 = D[F1[x,y],y]-D[F2[x,y],x] == 0
ode2 = D[F1[x,y],x]+D[F2[x,y],y] == y (*y here causes the problem*)

DSolve[{ode1,ode2},{F1[x,y],F2[x,y]},{x,y}]


Mathematica graphics


This can be solved in Maple:


restart;
#infolevel[pdsolve]:=3;
eq1:= diff(F1(x,y),y)-diff(F2(x,y),x) = 0;
eq2:= diff(F1(x,y),x)+diff(F2(x,y),y) = y;
pdsolve({eq1,eq2},{F1(x,y),F2(x,y)});

Solution it gives is



F1(x, y) = _F1(y-I*x)+_F2(y+I*x)
F2(x, y) = I*_F1(y-I*x)-I*_F2(y+I*x)+(1/2)*y^2+_C1

If the RHS of the second equation is not y but a constant or some other parameter, then Mathematica can now solve it:


ClearAll[F1,F2,x,y,m];
ode1 = D[F1[x,y],y]-D[F2[x,y],x] == 0
ode2 = D[F1[x,y],x]+D[F2[x,y],y] == m
DSolve[{ode1,ode2},{F1[x,y],F2[x,y]},{x,y}]


Mathematica graphics


Is this a known limitation of DSolve or is there a trick or some other method to get the same solution as in Maple?

Answer



The following substitution eliminates the right side of ode2, and DSolve then can solve the resulting equations.


ode3 = Unevaluated[D[F1[x, y], y] - D[F2[x, y], x] == 0] /. F2[x, y] -> G2[x, y] + y^2/2
(* D[F1[x, y], y] - D[G2[x, y], x] == 0 *)

ode4 = Simplify[Unevaluated[D[F1[x, y], x] + D[F2[x, y], y] == y] /.

F2[x, y] -> G2[x, y] + y^2/2]
(* D[F1[x, y], x] + D[G2[x, y], y] == 0 *)

DSolve[{ode3, ode4}, {F1[x, y], G2[x, y]}, {x, y}] // Flatten
(* {F1[x, y] -> I C[1][I x + y] - I C[2][-I x + y],
G2[x, y] -> C[1][I x + y] + C[2][-I x + y]} *)

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 - 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 - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
