How to Solve Differential Equations in PYTHON

[@flaviopineda1392]

I love your channel. I'm a PhD student in theoretical cosmology and I've always had troubles with computational part. Your videos have really helped me to improve my code skills. Please, don't stop making videos. Keep it up!

[@kananvirkar7360]

I am a physics student and these videos have been really helpful to help me solve physics problems using python. keep up the great work!

[@AJ-et3vf]

Awesome video once again! ❤️❤️❤️ I love differential equations. I would like to add that one can also use the Runge-Kutta-Nystrom method(s) to specifically solve 2nd order ODEs (or systems of 2nd order ODEs) directly without needing to transform them into a system of 1st order ODEs. 2nd order ODEs occurs often IRL that it was developed to specifically and directly solve ODEs. I compared the Runge-Kutta-Nystrom method to the classical fourth-order Runge-Kutta method and it's actually 1 to 3 orders of magnitude more accurate than the latter, while allowing you to directly solve a 2nd order ODE as it is.

[@MrPSolver]

Interesting, thank you AJ! I will take a look at these methods, may be interesting for a future video! And glad you're enjoying the channel :)

[@AJ-et3vf]

​@@MrPSolver (note: I already replied to you, but it didn't show ughhhh) Nice! I'm happy to hear that

[@erikp6614]

Isn't there an error at around 15:50? The definition of the diffeq should be dSdt(t,S): x,v = S ... !? Here it does not seem to matter since the diff eqs do not explicitly depend on t.

[@MrPSolver]

Yes, you are correct here! Should have dSdt(t, S) and not dSdx(x,S). The second one *technically* still gives the right solution in this case, but it is sloppy as it reuses the variable x and only confuses what's going on

[@erikp6614]

@@MrPSolver You have a lot of very impressive videos on your channel! Nice!

[@dsds-rj9rg]

Just a heads up, you don't need to do the transpose and then index to get the column, you can just select the column directly if you want using the correct numpy slice syntax, e.g. "sol[:, 0]"... Thanks for all the videos you make BTW they're super helpful

[@AJ-et3vf]

Yes, you're right, but it's actually more convenient to do than slicing the 2d NumPy array. When it is transposed, index just by 0, 1, 2, etc, allows you to immediately access the entire time series without needing to slice the array. I think this is why in the newer solve_ivp function, the y values are outputted in rows instead of columns like in the older, classic odeint function.

[@MatUserName]

you are concised and cut through the basic elements of understanding. Not many have these skills, not even all teachers/professors.

[@rollinas1]

Oh god, I had to solve these by hand in my first year in Uni 15 years ago and it still gives me chills and cold sweat seeing them.

[@brawnstein]

Great vid. How do you solve PDE in python, specially coupled PDEs?

[@rafisics]

6:57 Why do we need to transpose the array to exact it?

[@Eighty_80_WAW]

Great work. Very impressive approach as usual. You are the best! Keep it up. For the next work, please do data fitting and parameter estimation for epidemiological models (or system of ODEs) with data that has more than one column

[@erfanbensaeed486]

The best description I could've find in the internet. many thanks. I like the color of your eyes btw :))))

[@lajuelar]

I have a question for you sir. In your first example you write the initial condition v0=0 for v=0 at time t=0. How about : how do you write the initial condition for example v=5 at time t= 3?

I love your style of teaching. I was wondering if you could also do a tutorial for LATEX? Thank you! :)

[@mistercraftpiggy]

Hi classmate

[@frankkoslowski6917]

Let's say `dfdx` is an expression of some equation. Plug that expression into the script below: latex_script = sp.latex(sp.S(dfdx, evaluate=False)) print(f'{latex_script}') It printed this without the `$$! I put those symbols in for you to use the code as is inside a Jupyter Markdown cell. Just copy and paste to see what the differential of f(x) of some equation looks like. Perhaps you might then want to find the anti-derivative and then stick that expression of f(x) into sympy.latex(), to see what a monster the function really is: $$ - 2 a x e^{- a \sin{\left(x^{2} ight)}} \log{\left(\frac{c \sin^{2}{\left(x ight)}}{x} ight)} \sin{\left(b^{x} ight)} \cos{\left(x^{2} ight)} + b^{x} e^{- a \sin{\left(x^{2} ight)}} \log{\left(b ight)} \log{\left(\frac{c \sin^{2}{\left(x ight)}}{x} ight)} \cos{\left(b^{x} ight)} + \frac{x \left(\frac{2 c \sin{\left(x ight)} \cos{\left(x ight)}}{x} - \frac{c \sin^{2}{\left(x ight)}}{x^{2}} ight) e^{- a \sin{\left(x^{2} ight)}} \sin{\left(b^{x} ight)}}{c \sin^{2}{\left(x ight)}} $$ This is of course LaTex script of the expression `dfdx`, generated by the sympy.latex() method. I found it to be a very elegant way of writing LaTex inside Jupyter Notebook's cells set to 'Markdown', instead of `Code`, which is the default setting. sympy.latex() has thus far provided me with perfectly accurate LaTex Script for any mathematical expression. Cool eh? Hope that will give you a kick start with LaTex.

Thanks so much for the tutorial. Do you have videos for using python solving partial differential equations?

[@ernstsauer1978]

Excellent video, thank you. I have two questions, I have a beam with a fourth order differential equation but with boundary conditions at both ends. Is such a problem solvable in python? My second question: can a function have discontinuities like \/? Greetings from Bavaria.

[@drewnotdrey5156]

What kind of integrator does odeint use? Runge-Kutta??

[@nicolameoli]

What if I have a second order equation and two conditions like v(x=0)=0 and v(x=L)=0 ? This is the case of a Beam/Truss solver problem in Structural engineering.

[@AJ-et3vf]

Hi! That is actually a boundary-value problem ODE that you're saying, specifically one with a Neumann boundary condition at the right endpoint because the derivative is specified at the right instead of the function value. For such ODEs, the common methods for them are the shooting method and the finite difference method. In the shooting method, you make guesses for the initial slope and try to "shoot" for the boundary value, essentially turning the bvp ODE into an ivp ODE. This shooting for the boundary value can be treated as a root-finding problem and you can use the SciPy root_scalar function for this, using either bracketing methods or newton-type methods, like secant method. You can plot the shooting function vs your initial guesses so you can know what a good initial guess for the slope should be. Once you got the right initial slope, you now solve the ODE like any other. The finite difference method ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6HYZKdudshln5o ) involves discretizing the 1st and 2nd derivatives using centered finite differences. You end up with a tridiagonal system if linear equations to solve. Note that this is doable only if the bvp ODE is linear. If it is nonlinear, you will have a system of nonlinear equations so you won't get the special tridiagonal system of linear equations from earlier. You can use the Gauss-Seidel method to iteratively solve the function values. You'll have to use Numba to speed up the for loop iterations An interesting method for solving bvp ODEs is the collocation method, applicable to both linear and nonlinear bvp ODEs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2nHh6WwrbmpiaM . You approximate the solution with a polynomial at least quadratic or cubic order and solve for the coefficients by applying the boundary conditions and solving the ODE at "collocation points". Lastly, SciPy actually has a bvp ode solver named solve_bvp docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.integrate.solve_bvp.html . It solves most bvp ODEs fine, but for bvp ODEs where either left or right boundary is actually a singularity due to either 1/x or 1/(x-b) being in the ODE, solve_bvp can end up failing because of the nature of the problem. The shooting method will also be very sensitive too for this, so this is where the finite difference method shines because it is more stable than the shooting method despite being more computationally expensive.

This is what I'm referring to when I mentioned the gauss-seidel method for the finite difference method solution of ODE bvps. ODE bvps after all are elliptic PDEs with only one independent variable so you have one less for-loop here.

Why are you saying that the very first dv/dt doesn't depend on t? Doesn't v depend on t? If thats true then everything that depends on v also depends on t or not?

[@martinnovak7988]

Hi, i got a question, please. I study nuclear engineering and we never did any programing. Our teacher at University want us to make a program for solving a second degree differential equation, using a shooting method or FEM and one or two others methods (we just pick one of them) (i do not know the name of the other methods in english). We will be given an equation during a semester and i have no idea, how am i suppose to make it. The problematics in this course is in form of the pure mathematics. So my question is, if it is possible to make a video on this topic? if not, i would like to ask, if you possibly have something i would be able to study these methods from. Unfortunately we also do not have any form of practice of programing and only programing that i do is the one from your videos. (they are amazing btw). Thank you very much.

In regards to your initializations. . . # v_0 = 0 # This one does not appear to exist at all! Whereas one had imagined, `S_0` ought to be defined in terms of all previously initialized variables: S_0 = (x1_0, v1_0, a1_0, x2_0, v2_0, a2_0) So as to be congruent with vector-matrix `S`.

Is Julia ripe enough for this? Does it have packages like scipy, sympy or IDE like jupyterlab?

[@AJ-et3vf]

@@aliexpress.official hi! Those are great questions! Julia actually has the DifferentialEquations.jl package for solving differential equations diffeq.sciml.ai/stable/ . It is much more extensive than SciPy with respect to ODEs because it has DOZENS more solvers for ODEs alone. You can also solve other kinds of Differential Equations with it such as Differential Algebraic Equations, Boundary-Value Problem ODEs, etc. There is also the ModelingToolkit.jl package that allows you to symbolically compose and model ODEs (and also Nonlinear System of Equations, PDEs, etc) then pass them on to DifferentialEquations.jl which will solve them numerically: mtk.sciml.ai/stable/ Julia has Symbolics.jl for its symbolic computing symbolics.juliasymbolics.org/stable/ . However, it's purpose is different than SymPy in that it's designed for symbolic-numeric computing symbolics.juliasymbolics.org/stable/comparison/ These packages I mentioned are part of the SciML packages that get updated very regularly like almost everyday.
