Question: Using an numeric integral for a numeric pdsolve

I want to solve a pde numerically, where one of the initial conditions involves an integral expression. In essence, I would like to get the following code to run. 

restart;
with(PDEtools);

# the heat equation
pde := diff(v(x, t), t) = diff(v(x, t), x, x);

f := x -> exp(-x^2);

a := -1.68858; b := 1.68858; delx := 1/100; t_final := 5;

pds := pdsolve(pde, {v(a, t) = 0, v(b, t) = 0, v(x, 0) = 1 - int(f(f(s)), s = 0 .. x)}, numeric, range = a .. b, time = t, spacestep = delx);

Error, (in pdsolve/numeric/process_IBCs) improper specification of initial/boundary condition: additional unknown(s) {s} were found in v(x,0) = 1-int(exp(-exp(-s^2)^2),s = 0 .. x)

pds:-animate(frames = 120, t = t_final);

Maple doesn't have any built-in function to evaluate the integral expression, so the initial condition doesn't evaluate to a simple expression involving x. I hope that because pdsolve is outputting numerical results, it should be acceptable for the initial condition to output floats as well.

Please Wait...
