Hi Roland,
of course I didn't have the problem with P1, but with P2, like in
P1[x_, t_] := 2*x^2;
P2[x_, t_] := 2*(x + t)^2;
Diff = 0.2;
G[x_] := Exp[-x^2];
solution = n /. First[NDSolve[
{Derivative[0, 1][n][x, t] == Diff*Derivative[2, 0][n][x, t] +
n[x, t]*Derivative[2, 0][P2][x, t] +
Derivative[1, 0][n][x, t]*Derivative[1, 0][P2][x, t],
n[x, 0] == G[x],
n[-3., t] == G[-3.],
n[3., t] == G[3.]},
n, {x, -3, 3}, {t, 0, 4},
StartingStepSize -> 0.05]];
Plot3D[solution[x, t], {x, -2, 2}, {t, 0, 4}];
when I change the potential in the part with the differential equation.
Then I get an error message like
NDSolve::ndnum:
The right-hand side of the differential equation does not evaluate to a
number at t == 0.
Bye,
Max
