### Problem with PDEs ...

July 08 2015
1 3

I'm trying to build a Maple procedure that will generate vector fields on a metric with certain properties. Working with metric g over the coordinates {u,v,w}, call the field X = (a(u,v,w), b(u,v,w), c(u,v,w)). The field should satisfy <X, X> = 0 and have the directional covariant derivative of X in the direction of each coordinate vector field = 0 (with resepct to the Levi-Civita conenction).

Basically, these conditions yield a system of 3 PDEs and an algebraic expressionin terms of a,b,c. I've been trying to solve them using pdsolve, but I'm getting the error message:

>Error, (in pdsolve/sys) the input system cannot contain equations in the arbitrary parameters alone; found equation depending only on _F1(u,v,w): _F1(u,v,w)

I've attached my worksheet. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks! ppwaves.mw

### Solving PDE numerically...

July 08 2015
0 5

I have the following PDE system to solve numerically and I am not sure how to use maple to solve it.

v_t = v_{xx} for 0<x<1 , t>0

v(x,0)=1

v_x(1,t)=-hv^4(1,t) (where h is some numerical number);

v_x(0,t)=0

To solve this pde numerically I need to use the following condition on v(1,t):

v(1,t) = 1-h*\int_{0}^t \theta_3(\tau)v(1,t-\tau)^4d\tau

this is the numerical boundary condition, where \theta_3 is Jacobi theta3 function.

I don't see how can I use maple for this numerical pde problem.

Here's my attempt at solution:

[code]

PDE := diff(v(x, t), t) = diff(v(x, t), x, x);

JACOBIINTEGRAL := int(JacobiTheta3(0, exp(-Pi^2*s))*v(1, t-s)^4, s = 0 .. t);

IBC := {&PartialD;(v(0, t))/&PartialD;(x) = 0, &PartialD;(v(1, t))/&PartialD;(x) = -0.65e-4*v(1, t)^4, v(x, 0) = 1};

pds := pdsolve(PDE, IBC, numeric, time = t, range = 0 .. 1, spacestep = 0.1e-2, timestep = 0.1e-2, numericalbcs = {v(1, t) = 1-0.65e-4*JACOBIINTEGRAL}, method = ForwardTimeCenteredSpace)

[/code]

But I get the next error message:

Error, (in pdsolve/numeric/process_IBCs) improper op or subscript selector

How to fix this or suggest me a better way to solve this pde numerically?

### How do I solve this PDE system?...

July 07 2015

Hello,

I need to solve the next ode:

diff(u(x, y), x) = -(2/3)*(3*h^3*nu+9*h^2*nu*y-12*nu*y^3+36*x^2*y+56*y^3)/h^3

diff(v(x, y), y) = (2/3)*(36*nu*x^2*y+56*nu*y^3+3*h^3+9*h^2*y-12*y^3)/h^3

diff(u(x, y), y)+diff(v(x, y), x) = -(6*(1+nu))*x*(h^2-4*y^2)/h^3

The inicial conditions are:

u(L, 0) = 0
v(L, 0) = 0
D[1]*u(L, 0) = 0

When I write on Maple this code, he give me a error:

with(PDEtools, casesplit, declare); declare((u, v)(x, y))

sys2 := [diff(u(x, y), x) = -(2/3)*(3*h^3*nu+9*h^2*nu*y-12*nu*y^3+36*x^2*y+56*y^3)/h^3, diff(v(x, y), y) = (2/3)*(36*nu*x^2*y+56*nu*y^3+3*h^3+9*h^2*y-12*y^3)/h^3, diff(u(x, y), y)+diff(v(x, y), x) = -(6*(1+nu))*x*(h^2-4*y^2)/h^3]

sol := pdsolve(sys2)

ics := u(L, 0) = 0, v(L, 0) = 0, D[1]*u(L, 0) = 0

pdsolve([sys2, ics]);

Why Maple can't solve this PDE?

I think that the problem is on sys2. But I don't know how to explain to Maple the function: diff(u(x, y), y)+diff(v(x, y), x) = -(6*(1+nu))*x*(h^2-4*y^2)/h^3; on the system of equations. I think the problem is there.

I'm so sorry by my bad english.

I need to solve this, anyone help me please.

Thanks.

### error in solving diffusion equation...

Hi,

I have a problem with maple solving diffusion equation. I solved the equation as follows

Es := 0.117108e12;
Ef := 0.78125e11;
l := 0.150e-6;
s := 0.500000e-3;
f := 0.5898334197e-6;
o := 0.9e-5;
d := 0.10e-17;
cb := 0.1e7/(19.9);
c := l*f/(d*cb);
PDE := diff(u(x, t), t)-(diff(u(x, t), x, x)) = 0;
IBC1 := {u(x, 0) = 0, (D[1](u))(0, t) = 0, (D[1](u))(1, t) = c};
S1 := pdsolve(PDE, IBC1, numeric, time = t);
S1:-plot(t = 0.6e-2);

i am plotting cincentration along the thickness of the material. i want to know why the concentration is negative. It should not be negative because constant flux 'c' is present at x=1. and flux at x=0 is 0, and also the initial concentration is 0.

Thanks

### Derivative from pdsolve/numeric solution?...

June 07 2015
1 12

Is it possible to somehow extract a derivative from numeric solution of partial differential equation?

I know there is a command that does it for dsolve but i couldn't find the same thing for pdsolve.

The actual problem i have is that i have to take a numeric solution, calculate a derivative from it and later use it somewhere else, but the solution that i have is just a set of numbers an array of some sort and i can't really do that because obviously i will get a zero each time.

Perhaps there is a way to interpolate this numeric solution somehow?

I found that someone asked a similar question earlier but i couldn't find an answer for it.

### Numeric PDE with Periodic Boundary Conditions...

May 26 2015

Hi,

I'm trying to numerically solve a PDE in Maple for different boundary conditions, however I'm having trouble even getting Maple to numerically solve it for simple boundary conditions.

I have cylindrical coordinates, r, z, theta, and I treat r = r(z, theta) for convenience to plot my solution surface. The initial coundary condition is that at z = epsilon (z = 0 is singular) , r = constant and of course r is periodic in theta. This is just a circle, and the analytical solution is know to be a half-sphere  r = sqrt(R^2 - z^2). I entered my initial boundary conditions into Maple, but it doesn't like the periodic one

IBC := { r(epsilon, theta) = R - epsilon__r,
r(z, 0) = r(z, 2*Pi) };

pdsolve(
PDE,
IBC,
numeric,
indepvars = [z, theta],
time = z,
range = 0..2*Pi);
Error, (in pdsolve/numeric/par_hyp) Incorrect number of boundary conditions, expected 2, got 1

I'm not sure how to make this work, and then generalize it to more arbitrary intial slices r(epsilon, theta) = f(theta).

Here's the attached worksheet, ForMaplePrimesSUbmission.mw

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks

### pdsolve/Solve for derivatives algebraically (witho...

Hi,

I have a question regarding pdsolve, or Solve from the PDEtools package. I have a set of equations relating partial derivatives, and I'd like to isolate certain terms without explicitly known the functions. I can do this for a single equation, but not multiple ones. I'm curious if Maple can currently handle a system of eqns like these easily, since I will be increasing the number of eqns in the future. Here's the code

 > restart;
 > PDEtools:-declare(H=H(x,y,t)):
 (1)
 > eq1:= H[tt](x,y,t) = H[xx](x,y,t) + H[yy](x,y,t);
 (2)
 > eq2 := diff(H[tt](x,y,t), t) = diff(H[tx](x,y,t), x) + diff(H[ty](x,y,t), y);
 (3)
 > eq3 := diff(H[tx](x,y,t), t) = diff(H[xx](x,y,t), x) + diff(H[xy](x,y,t), y);
 (4)

### Solving a PDE issue...

March 30 2015

Hello all,

I am trying to solve a simple PDE with one unknow theta and three boundary conditions. Unfortunately, I receive error messages. In this case, the integer s seems to cause troubles. The error message is:

Error, (in pdsolve/numeric/process_PDEs) variable(s) {s} are in the PDE system but are not dependent or independent variables

When I assign s a value (such as 1 or 2), no error messages, but still no response. I get:

pds:=module() export plot,plot3d,animate,value,settings; ... end module

Would anyone have an idea how to resolve this issue? Thank you for your suggestions. Below is the small portion of code

restart;
with(PDEtools);

PDE := [(1-y^(s+1))*(diff(theta(y, z), z)) = diff(theta(y, z), \$(y, 2))+y^(s+1)*(s+1)^(1/s+1)];
IBC := {theta(1, z) = 0, theta(y, 0) = 0, (D[1](theta))(0, z) = 0};

pds := pdsolve(PDE, IBC, numeric);
Error, (in pdsolve/numeric/process_PDEs) variable(s) {s} are in the PDE system but are not dependent or independent variables

### PDSolve too many arguments error...

Hey people,

I am trying to get the following code to run, but it keeps returning an error about too many arguments

restart:with(plots):with(PDEtools):
alpha_const := 0.5:gamma_const := 2.5: D1 := 0.05: D2 := 0.002:
A := diff_table(a(x,t)):B := diff_table(b(x,t)):
Selkov[1] := A[t] = 1 - A[]*B[]^(gamma_const) + D1*A[x,x]:
Selkov[2] := B[t] = alpha_const * ( A[]*B[]^(gamma_const) - B[]) + D2 * B[x,x]:

bc[1] := D[1](a)(0,t)=0: bc[2] := D[1](b)(0,t)=0: bc[3] := D[1](a)(4*Pi,t) = 0: bc[4]:=D[1](b)(4*Pi,t)=0:

ic[1] := eval(A[],t=0)=a_0:ic[2] := eval(B[],t=0)=b_0:
case1 := eval(ic,[a_0=1,b_0=1]):
case2 := eval(ic, [a_0=piecewise((x<2*Pi+1) and (x>2*Pi-1), 0.99, 1), b_0=piecewise((x<2*Pi+1) and (x>2*Pi-1), 0.99, 1)]):

Case1Default := pdsolve({Selkov[1],Selkov[2]},{bc[1],bc[2],bc[3],bc[4],case1[1],case1[2]},numerical);

Error, (in pdsolve/sys) too many arguments; some or all of the following are wrong: [{a(x, t), b(x, t)}, {a(x, 0) = 1, b(x, 0) = 1, (D[1](a))(0, t) = 0, (D[1](a))(4*Pi, t) = 0, (D[1](b))(0, t) = 0, (D[1](b))(4*Pi, t) = 0}, numerical]

My code worked just earlier today, and now it wont. If i try to run pdsolve({Selkov[1],Selkov[2]}) it says that there is an error with general case of floats.

You help is greatly appreciated!

### pdsolve not returning anything...

March 17 2015

Trying to solve the 1-dimensional heat equation with maple with constant boundary temperatures:

restart;

with(PDETools):
U := diff_table(u(x,t)):
pde := U[t]=U[x,x];
bc := u(0, t) =0, u(1, t) = 1, u(x,0)=x;
pdsolve([pde,bc]);

The solution of this equation is u(x,t)=x , but pdsolve(...) does not return anything at all! What is going wrong? Is it too hard PDE for maple? And if it is too hard, where can be found the types of equations, which are too hard and not too hard? Thank you.

### PDSolve in Maple 11...

I'm trying to execute the program, which can be found here http://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=examples/pdsolve_boundaryconditions , but it does not work. I copied exactly what is written there:

restart; with(PDEtools):
U := diff_table(u(x,t)):
pde[1] := U[t]+c*U[x]=-lambda*U[];
bc[1] := eval(U[], t=0) = phi(x);
sys[1] := [pde[1], bc[1]];
pdsolve(sys[1]);

But after last command it just sais that

Error, (in pdsolve/sys/info) found functions with same name but depending on different arguments in the given DE system: [u(x,t), u(x,0)]

What's wrong?
