differential equations - Is it possible to take a numerical (integral) average of the dependent variable, within NDSolve, at each iteration?


tl;dr: want to integrate (average) the dependent variable within NDSolve.


I am currently trying to implement a basic diffusion-advection equation for a reactant, A. The species is converted between A and B, and the total amount is conserved. I am attempting to smooth local non-uniformities in B, which should always be uniformly distributed. My attempt is below, and includes a mathematically usual normalisation integral (see line (*****)). However, mathematica appears to 'ignore' this normalisation.


I know NDSolve builds interpolating functions, and initially assumed that at each iteration I would be able to average over the available interpolating data. However, I've tried reading further on the methods NDSolve uses and have concluded that NDSolve leaves the integral as symbolic, until at least the very end where the function is evaluated. I have also tried forcing a numerical integration by replacing the Integrate[] with a user defined NIntegrate function outside NDSolve (see commented out, line 4).


Is my reasoning correct? If so, is it possible to implement an average of this kind within NDSolve, as it is solving? And if not, is there either a solver that will do this, or a way to circumvent the difficulties whilst still using NDSolve (such as manually access the interpolation data and average it)? With regards to the latter I know you can access the interpolation data of the full solution.


total = 200;
L = 10;

(*fn[lm_]:=NIntegrate[lm,{x,-L/2,L/2}]*)


soln = NDSolve[{

D[A[x,t],{t,1}]== Plus[
0.005 D[A[x,t],{x,2}],
D[0.1 Exp[-0.5(x-0.5)^2] A[x,t],{x,1}],
0.1 B[x,t]-0.2 A[x,t]
],

B[x, t]==(total - Integrate[A[x,t], {x,-L/2,L/2}])/L (*****),


A[x,0] == 10,
B[x,0] == (total - Integrate[A[x,0], {x,-L/2,L/2}])/L,

A[-L/2,t] == A[L/2,t],
B[-L/2,t] == B[L/2,t]}, {A,B}, {x,-L/2,L/2}, {t,0,100}]

NIntegrate[Evaluate[(B[x, t]) /. soln /. t -> 0], {x, -5, 5}]
NIntegrate[Evaluate[(A[x, t]) /. soln /. t -> 0], {x, -5, 5}]




Table[Plot[Evaluate[A[x,t]/.soln/.t ->(i*100/10)], {x,-5,5},
AxesLabel->{"x", "t= " <> ToString[i*10]}], {i, 0, 10}]

output A[x,t] from plot above


Table[Plot[Evaluate[B[x, t] /. soln /. t -> (i*100/10)], {x, -5, 5}, 
AxesLabel -> {"x", "t= " <> ToString[i*10]}], {i, 0, 10}]

output B[x,t] from plot above



Desirable output: Though both plots make sense and uphold conservancy, if the average I wanted to implement was upheld, I would expect the B[x,t] plots (second down) to be constant along x, but with different values for different t.


Any kind of solution welcome, even if in the form of a known 'not possible'. Thanks.



Answer



What about working with iterations until error is small enough?


Define B, only depending on t.


B[t_?NumericQ] := (200 - 
NIntegrate[A[z, t] /. First@ndsol, {z, -10/2, 10/2},
MaxRecursion -> 50])/10 ;

Solve for the first time with B[t]=0.



    ndsol = NDSolve[{Derivative[0, 1][A][x, t] == 
(-(1/5))*A[x, t] - ((-(1/2) + x)*A[x, t])/
(10*E^((1/2)*(-(1/2) + x)^2)) +
Derivative[1, 0][A][x, t]/
(10*E^((1/2)*(-(1/2) + x)^2)) +
(1/200)*Derivative[2, 0][A][x, t], A[x, 0] == 10,
A[-5, t] == A[5, t]}, A, {x, -(L/2), L/2},
{t, 0, 100}];

Iterate (here 15 times) with the B[t] from previous calculation until the difference of two successive calculations is small enough.



Do[ndsol2 = ndsol; ndsol = NDSolve[{Derivative[0, 1][A][x, t] == 
(-(1/5))*A[x, t] - ((1/10)*(-(1/2) + x)*A[x, t])/
E^((1/2)*(-(1/2) + x)^2) + (1/10)*B[t] +
((1/10)*Derivative[1, 0][A][x, t])/
E^((1/2)*(-(1/2) + x)^2) +
(1/200)*Derivative[2, 0][A][x, t], A[x, 0] == 10,
A[-5, t] == A[5, t]}, A, {x, -L/2, L/2}, {t, 0, 100}], {15}]

Plot the difference


Plot3D[(A[x, t] /. ndsol2) - (A[x, t] /. ndsol), {x, -L/2, L/2}, {t, 

0, 100}, PlotRange -> All, ImageSize -> 300]

enter image description here


and plot the A[x,t]


Plot3D[(A[x, t] /. ndsol), {x, -L/2, L/2}, {t, 0, 100}, 
PlotRange -> All, ImageSize -> 300]

Plot the B[t]


Plot[B[t], {t, 0, 100}, PlotRange -> All, ImageSize -> 300]

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[ ...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...

calculus and analysis - Integral of the Sinc product

Let us consider the following integral $$ B_n = \int_0^\infty \prod_{k=1,3,5,\dots}^n\frac{\sin (x/k)}{x/k}dx $$ By definition, Sinc[x] == Sin[x]/x , therefore B[n_?OddQ] := Integrate[Product[Sinc[x/k], {k, 1, n, 2}], {x, 0, Infinity}] B /@ Range[1, 13, 2] {Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2} OK, everything is fine. But... B[15] 467807924713440738696537864469 Pi/935615849440640907310521750000 What's going on? Answer As Eckhard wrote in comments B[n] is the n-th Borwein integral . (The letter B was not accidental :) ) This funny properties of Borwein integrals is related to the Fourier transform of Sinc function FourierTransform[Sinc[x], x, k] 1/2 Sqrt[Pi/2] (Sign[1 - k] + Sign[1 + k]) Plot[%, {k, -2, 2}, Filling -> 0] which is the box function. The result is $\pi/2$ while the sum $$ 1/3+1/5+\dots+1/n $$ B_n = \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi \bigg(\sum_{k=3,5,\ldots}^n\frac{1}{k} -1\biggr)^\frac{n-1}{2}\prod_{k=3,5,\dots}^n\frac{k}{k-1}. $$ For $n=15$ it is equal to $$ \frac{46780...
