differential equations - NDSolve::depdole error


I'm trying to solve a pair of differential equations with NDSolve. They contain a discontinuous function bounce. I've trimmed down my original equations to the following for simplicity:


eqxy = {
0.1 == bounce[x[t]] - Cos[x[t]] x''[t],
y''[t] == -Sin[x[t]] + Cos[x[t]] x''[t]

};

where


bounce[x_] := If[Abs[x] >= 0.045, Abs[x], 0]

The following formatting may be clearer $$ \left( \begin{align} 0.1 &=\text{If}\,[\left| x(t)\right| \geq 0.045,\,\left| x(t)\right|,\,0]-x''(t) \cos(x(t)) \cr y''(t) &=x''(t) \cos (x(t))-\sin (x(t)) \cr \end{align} \right) $$


Now, running


NDSolve[
Join[eqxy, {x[0] == 0, x'[0] == 1, y[0] == 1, y'[0] == 1}],
{x, y}, {t, 0, 1}, Method -> "Automatic"]


yields the error message



NDSolve::depdole: The differential order of a dependent variable in {x'[t], x''[t], y'[t], y''[t]} exceeds the highest order that appears in the differential equations.



although interpolating functions are produced as solutions.


The error seems to be associated with bounce, with its conditional and absolute value functions -- removing bounce eliminates the error message. But how does bounce cause any order excess?


Appreciate any insights. (Hope I've eliminated any typos.)


I'm running Mathematica version 10.3.0.0, Linux x86 (64-bit).



Answer




It's a confirmed bug in event processing.


Try Method -> {Automatic, "DiscontinuityProcessing" -> False} as a workaround.


NDSolve[
Join[eqxy, {x[0] == 0, x'[0] == 1, y[0] == 1, y'[0] == 1}],
{x, y}, {t, 0, 1}, Method -> {Automatic, "DiscontinuityProcessing" -> False}]

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...
