numerical integration - 2D inhomogeneous biharmonic equation


How to solve a 2D inhomogeneous biharmonic equation with NDSolve?


I tried the following code:


P[x_, y_] := x y
eq = Laplacian[Laplacian[w[x, y], {x, y}], {x, y}] == x*y;
bc = {w[0, y] == w[1, y] == w[x, 0] == w[x, 1] == 0, 
Derivative[2, 0][w][0, y] == Derivative[2, 0][w][1, y] == 

Derivative[0, 2][w][x, 0] == Derivative[0, 2][w][x, 1] == 0};
NDSolve[{eq == P[x, y], bc}, w, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}]

but it says



NDSolve::femcmsd: The spatial derivative order of the PDE may not exceed two.



How to derive the solution?



Answer



As mentioned in the warning, currently "FiniteElement" method can't handle 4th order spatial derivatives. So let me show you a FDM-based solution. I'll use pdetoae for the generation of difference equation:



P[x_, y_] := x y
eq = Laplacian[Laplacian[w[x, y], {x, y}], {x, y}] == P[x, y];
bc = {w[0, y] == w[1, y] == w[x, 0] == w[x, 1] == 0, 
    Derivative[2, 0][w][0, y] == Derivative[2, 0][w][1, y] == 
     Derivative[0, 2][w][x, 0] == Derivative[0, 2][w][x, 1] == 0} /. 
   Equal[a__, b_] :> Thread[{a} == b];
{bcy, bcx} = GatherBy[Flatten@bc, FreeQ[#, _[0 | 1, y]] &];
domain = {0, 1};
points = 25;
grid = Array[# &, points, domain];

difforder = 4;
(*Definition of pdetoae isn't included in this code piece,
  please find it in the link above.*)
ptoafunc = pdetoae[w[x, y], {grid, grid}, difforder];
var = Outer[w, grid, grid] // Flatten;

del = #[[3 ;; -3]] &;

ae = del /@ del@ptoafunc@eq;
aebcx = ptoafunc@bcx;

aebcy = del /@ ptoafunc@bcy;

{b, m} = CoefficientArrays[{ae, aebcx, aebcy} // Flatten, var];

sollst = LinearSolve[m, -N@b];


Remark


If you have difficulty in understanding the usage of del, the following is an alternative way for calculating sollst:


fullsys = ptoafunc@{eq, bcx, bcy} // Flatten;

{b, m} = CoefficientArrays[fullsys, var];
sollst = LeastSquares[m, -N@b]; // AbsoluteTiming

Notice this approach is slower.



sol = ListInterpolation[Partition[sollst, points], {grid, grid}];

Plot3D[sol[x, y], {x, ##}, {y, ##}] & @@ domain

Mathematica graphics



Notice I've modified the definition of bc because pdetoae can't parse continued equality at the moment i.e. something like a == b == c isn't supported yet.



Solution for the problem in the comments below


The new-added example in the comment has a nonlinear inhomogeneous term, so LinearSolve can't be used any more, we can use FindRoot instead:


nu = 0.33; h = 0.01; Ye = 2 10^11; P1 = 10^5; 
N11[x_, y_] = (Ye h)/(2 (1 - nu^2)) ((D[w[x, y], x])^2 + nu (D[w[x, y], y])^2);
 N22[x_, y_] = (Ye h)/(2 (1 - nu^2)) (nu (D[w[x, y], x])^2 + (D[w[x, y], y])^2);
 N12[x_, y_] = (Ye h)/(2 (1 + nu)) D[w[x, y], x] D[w[x, y], y] ;
P[x_, y_] = 
  N11[x, y] D[w[x, y], x, x] - N22[x, y] D[w[x, y], y, y] - 

   2 N12[x, y] D[w[x, y], x, y] - P1;
eq = (Ye h^3)/(12 (1 - nu^2)) Laplacian[Laplacian[w[x, y], {x, y}], {x, y}] == -P[x, 
    y]; bc = {w[x, 0] == w[x, 1] == 0, 
   Derivative[2, 0][w][0, y] == Derivative[2, 0][w][1, y] == 0, 
   Derivative[0, 2][w][x, 0] == Derivative[0, 2][w][x, 1] == 
    0, (Ye h^3)/(12 (1 - nu^2)) (Derivative[3, 0][w][0, y] + 
        2 Derivative[1, 2][w][0, y]) + P1 Derivative[1, 0][w][0, y] == 
    0, (Ye h^3)/(12 (1 - nu^2)) (Derivative[3, 0][w][1, y] + 
        2 Derivative[1, 2][w][1, y]) + P1 Derivative[1, 0][w][1, y] == 0} /. 
  Equal[a__, b_] :> Thread[{a} == b];   

{bcy, bcx} = GatherBy[Flatten@bc, FreeQ[#, _[0 | 1, y]] &];
domain = {0, 1};
points = 25;
grid = Array[# &, points, domain];
difforder = 4;
(* Definition of pdetoae isn't included in this code piece,
  please find it in the link above. *)
ptoafunc = pdetoae[w[x, y], {grid, grid}, difforder];    
del = #[[3 ;; -3]] &;    
ae = del /@ del@ptoafunc@eq;

aebcx = ptoafunc@bcx;
aebcy = del /@ ptoafunc@bcy;    
var = Outer[w, grid, grid] // Flatten;

solrule = FindRoot[Rationalize[{ae, aebcx, aebcy} // Flatten, 0], {#, 0} & /@ var, 
    WorkingPrecision -> 16]; // AbsoluteTiming
sollst = Replace[solrule, (w[x_, y_] -> z_) :> {x, y, z}, {1}];
sol = Interpolation@sollst;   
Plot3D[sol[x, y], {x, ##}, {y, ##}] & @@ domain


Mathematica graphics


Notice setting proper initial values for FindRoot can be troublesome, but luckily it seems not to be a big problem in this case.

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...

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...

How to remap graph properties?

Graph objects support both custom properties, which do not have special meanings, and standard properties, which may be used by some functions. When importing from formats such as GraphML, we usually get a result with custom properties. What is the simplest way to remap one property to another, e.g. to remap a custom property to a standard one so it can be used with various functions? Example: Let's get Zachary's karate club network with edge weights and vertex names from here: http://nexus.igraph.org/api/dataset_info?id=1&format=html g = Import[ "http://nexus.igraph.org/api/dataset?id=1&format=GraphML", {"ZIP", "karate.GraphML"}] I can remap "name" to VertexLabels and "weights" to EdgeWeight like this: sp[prop_][g_] := SetProperty[g, prop] g2 = g // sp[EdgeWeight -> (PropertyValue[{g, #}, "weight"] & /@ EdgeList[g])] // sp[VertexLabels -> (# -> PropertyValue[{g, #}, "name"]...
