Solving system of ODEs
I'm trying to solve a system of 4 ODEs using Sage. I'm able to get a solution, but it's not at all what I expect. Here are the 4 equations:
dwdt=QxVx(t)−QyVηw(t)−QzVηw(t) dxdt=QyVγy(t)+QzVζz(t)−QxVx(t) dydt=QyVηw(t)−QyVγy(t) dzdt=QzVηw(t)−QzVζz(t)
Here is how I've coded the problem in Sage.
eta, zeta, gamma = var('eta, zeta, gamma')
m_0, Qx, Qy, Qz, V = var('m_0, Q_x, Q_y, Q_z, V')
t = var('time')
w=function('w', t)
x=function('x', t)
y=function('y', t)
z=function('z', t)
dw = diff(w,t) - Qx/V*x + Qy/V*eta*w + Qz/V*eta*w == 0
dx = diff(x,t) - Qy/V*gamma*y - Qz/V*zeta*z + Qx/V*x == 0
dy = diff(y,t) - Qy/V*eta*w + Qy/V*gamma*y == 0
dz = diff(z,t) - Qz/V*eta*w + Qz/V*zeta*z == 0
eqs = [dw, dx, dy, dz]
vars = [w, x, y, z]
ics = [0, 0, m_0, 0, 0]
ans = desolve_system(eqs, vars, ics, ivar=t)
print ansWhere m_0 is an initial mass that exists in the x volume at time 0. All other volumes are empty at time 0.
I'm expecting relatively simple exponential equations as the solution, but what I get in return is some significantly more complex.
$$ w\left(\mathit{time}\right) = \frac{V \gamma m_{0} \zeta}{{\left(\eta \gamma + {\left(\eta \gamma + \eta\right)} \zeta\right)} V + \gamma \zeta} + \mathcal{L}^{-1}\left(-\frac{V^{4} g_{2562}^{2} \gamma m_{0} \zeta + {\left(Q_{x} Q_{z} - Q_{z}^{2}\right)} V^{2} \gamma^{2} m_{0} \zeta^{2} - {\left(Q_{x} Q_{z} \eta m_{0} \zeta^{2} + {\left(Q_{x}^{2} - Q_{x} Q_{z}\right)} \eta \gamma^{2} m_{0}\right)} V^{3} - {\left({\left(Q_{x} \eta \gamma m_{0} + Q_{x} \eta m_{0} \zeta\right)} V^{4} - {\left({\left(Q_{x} - Q_{z}\right)} \gamma^{2} m_{0} \zeta + Q_{z} \gamma m_{0} \zeta^{2}\right)} V^{3}\right)} g_{2562}}{{\left(V^{3} g_{2562}^{3} + {\left(Q_{x} V^{3} \eta + {\left({\left(Q_{x} - Q_{z}\right)} \gamma + Q_{z} \zeta + Q_{x}\right)} V^{2}\right)} g_{2562}^{2} + {\left(Q_{x}^{2} Q_{z} - Q_{x} Q_{z}^{2}\right)} \gamma \zeta + {\left({\left(Q_{x}^{2} Q_{z} - Q_{x} Q_{z}^{2}\right)} \eta \gamma + {\left({\left(Q_{x}^{2} Q_{z} - Q_{x} Q_{z}^{2}\right)} \eta \gamma + {\left(Q_{x}^{2} Q_{z} - Q_{x} Q_{z}^{2}\right)} \eta\right)} \zeta\right)} V + {\left({\left(Q_{x} Q_{z ...
