Hi, I have a problem with Mathematica. I am trying to solve a partial differential equation but do not suceed in obtaining a result. First, I define a polynomial function S which depends on x and t: S == 10.084304421395792 + 114.57416854230641*t + 115.11466668494609*(t^2) - 3822.35951791628*(t^3) + 23192.835807699386*(t^4) - 77725.26066741263*(t^5) + 161907.74898800353*(t^6) - 213918.36222839082*(t^7) + 174300.72308993243*(t^8) - 79865.31220440594*(t^9) + 15736.460820905904*(t^10)- 205.6915345278371*x- 1009.7681219413579*(x^2) + 21511.565356040668*(x^3) + 320164.63081689784*(x^4)- 494743.9951075827*(x^5) - 6.506685473054829*(x^6) - 6.902121854594892*(x^7) + 5.981554201963775*(x^8) + 2.269398919104073*(x^9) - 1.9233253999085125*(x^10) I then want to calculate the function Q(x,t) as follows: NDSolve[{Q[x, t] == -t*(x^2)*(D[S, x] + D[S, t]*(-D[Q[x, t], x]/D[Q[x, t], t])), Q[0, t] == 0}, Q[x, t], {t, 0.001, 1}, {x, 0.03, 0.06}] and Mathematica yields a result by outputting {{Q[x, t] -> InterpolatingFunction[{{0.001, 1.}, {0.03, 0.06}}, <>][t, x]}} If I try to obtain numerical values from that object, no useful result is obtained.If I query Q[0.04, 0.04], for instance, the result is just the same Q[0.04, 0.04], but no value. Do you have an idea how this could work? Cheers, Patrick
