to be more precise,
play[x_, j_] :=If[ IntegerPart[x^2+j^2]>n, n, IntegerPart[x^2+j^2]>n],
i.e. the index on the rhs of my equation depends both on j and x.
any suggestions?
thanks

also appears on the rhs in the "index" of my array. mathematica does not eva=
luate "play[x]" during NDSolve and just tells me that the rhs is not numeric=
al. I tried "_NumericQ" and similar things but nothing seems. I would be ver=
y happy if someone could tell me how to resolve this.
