differential equations - Avoid Evaluation of Function at NDSolve


I have a huge "black-box" f function, which I want to integrate. Let's define it:


f[x_,y_,a_]:=a*Exp[-(a*10000)(x^3+y^3)]

as a simple toy model. My real function takes many parameters and impossible to write in closed form like a Exp function. But the behavior is similar to this toy model function. So, the main idea is f[x,y,a] returns a 'number'.



This function has a very sharp peak which I don't know where. Other than this peak, function is zero. Let's pretend that we don't know the peak at x=0 y=0 in this toy model. I am trying to integrate it but NIntegrate missed the peak with some methods.


NIntegrate[f[x,y,2.],{x,-5.,5},{y,-5.,5.},Method->{"GlobalAdaptive","SymbolicProcessing"->False}]

So, I am integrating it with NDSolve. The simplified code I use is:


eqn = {D[u[x,y],x,y] == f[x,y,2.], u[x,-5] == 0, u[-5,y] == 0}
NDSolve[eqn,u,{x,-5,5},{y,-5,5}]

However, while executing the declaration of function (eqn line), Mathematica tries to execute this function symbolically, which takes very long time. Is there a way to avoid handling the function symbolically so that the function at line eqn will return just a number whenever it is called?


(Similar to "SymbolicProcessing->False" at NIntegrate.)

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
