Hi All, 

 

I'm trying to numerically solve a differential equation which has a numeric function in it. 

For example, consider the function f. 

f:=(r)-> evalf(Int( <some messy function>, <some range>)) ;  <- This can be solved numerically and returns an answer quickly. i.e

f(23) gives 102;

 

Now, I want to numericaly solve something like.

Eq:= diff(p(r),r,r) + diff(p(r),r) - f(p(r));

ICS:=D(p)(0.001)=0, p(0.001) = 3

dsolve({Eq,ICS},numeric).

dsolve will not attempt to solve it due to the numeric integration in f. Is there a way I can just use numeric techniques to solve this kind of problem?

Thanks in advance.
