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}]

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-...

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[ ...
