Solve beam equation with elastic term using scipy solve_bvp
I want to solve the beam equation with distributed load and elatic term (which depends on how much the beam interact with the terrain) :
$$
EI\frac{d^4w}{dx^4}+k*(w(x)-t(x))=q(x)
$$
where $q(x)$ is a ...

How to apply Neumann boundary conditions in Newton's method [closed]
Suppose that I have a very long and tedious set of differential equations. After discretization, I can get a mapping $f:\mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^N$ such that solutions $\phi =(\phi_0,...,\phi_{N-1})...

Why is the central difference method dispersing my solution?
I am solving numerically the ODE $\ddot x(t)=-c\dot x(t) -\sin(x(t))+F\cdot \cos(\omega t), \;\dot x(0)=x(0)=0$ for $t\in [0,20\pi]$ on an $N=2000$ dimensional grid. I am working on Python, and I ...

Why can bad jacobians sometimes works better for implicit ODE method?
I'm solving a system of stiff ODEs describing atmospheric chemistry and transport. I am using CVODE BDF from Sundials Computing. I have two ways to approximate the jacobian:
Allow CVODE to ...

Solving PDEs: What is the best way to deal with non-banded/dense jacobians?
I have a system of PDEs describing atmospheric chemistry and transport. I use finite-differences to make my system of PDEs into a system of ~10,000 ODEs. I then integrate the ODEs forward in time with ...

Maintain unitary time evolution for a nonlinear ODE
I want to solve a nonlinear ODE of matrix $A(t)$
$$\mathrm{i}\dot A = A(t)M(t),\:\mathrm{with}\: M(t)=A^\dagger(t)H(t)A(t)$$ where $H(t)$ and hence $M(t)$ are Hermitian. Therefore, I presume the time ...

Non-linear Boundary Value Problem. How to compute the Jacobian?
Consider a Boundary Value Problem:
$$
\delta u''+u(u'-1) =0 \Leftrightarrow u''=\frac{-u(u'-1)}{\delta}=:f(t,u',u), \\
u(0)=a, u(1)=b
$$
$\delta,a,b$ are known parameters. I want to implement Newton'...

Actual global error vs theoretical global error: How to combine theory with practice
I have implemented an Adams Bashforth 4 method to solve an Initial Value Problem for an ODE and I am testing it against the test equation:
$y'=\lambda y$ with $y(0)=1$ with the exact solution: $y(t)=...

Can a second-order ODE be "inconsistent" with its boundary conditions?
I am trying to solve a set of coupled, nonlinear ODEs. The only dependent variable is a 1-dimensional spatial coordinate, let's call it $x$. For now, I've managed to approximate away some of the ...

Finite differenced eigenvalue prob. of inhomogeneous boundary conditions?
I am basically asking about eigenvalue problems of differential equations using some finite difference method (FDM). Usually the system is subject to some boundary conditions (BC), e.g., Dirichlet or ...

How to account for the interface between two different phases in a discretized diffusion model?
I have tried to set up a model for the diffusion of a gas into a liquid. The two media are next to each other and the geometry is spherical because the system should simulate the diffusion out of a ...

Finite difference for 2nd order ode $y'^2+y y''+\frac{2}{x} y y' -0.1 y^2=0$ with $y'(1)=0$ and $y(1)=1$
How to solve second order non-linear ODE
$$y'^2+y y''+\frac{2}{x} y y' -0.1 y^2=0$$ subject to $y'(1)=0$ and $y(1)=1$ over the interval $0 < x \le 1$.
I turned the equation to a PDE $y'^2+y y''+\...

Why naively chopped finite difference matrix works for different ODE boundary conditions
We know finite difference method (FDM) can replace $y''(x)$ as $\frac{1}{h^2}[y(x+h)+y(x-h)-2y(x)]$ or so. One naive way to write down the matrix of the differential operator is like the following, ...
