Hi everyone. I'm looking for help using the result of DSolve.
In the code below the DSolve statements in In[3] and In[4] find i1[t] and i2[t] respectively in terms of variable t and a constant a1, a2 respectively. Then, numerical values for a1 and a2 will be found by simultaneous equations equating i1[t] and i2[t] in the FindRoot statement in In[7].
However, I havenâ??t been able to make Mathematica relate the i1[t], i2[t] in FindRoot to the i1[t], i2[t] resulting from DSolve. Iâ??ve tried several ways and finally the way below and always get errors.
On the other hand if I COPY and PASTE the DSolve output Out[3], Out[4] following the -> into the lhs of i1[t] = lhs, then the FindRoot gives me the a1, and similar for a2..
If anyone can instruct me on how to get the FindRoot to recognize the i1[t], i2[t] found from DSolve I would appreciate it. I guess in other words, how do I get output of DSolve to be a usable function.
In my own reply to this post I will paste the example of the code where COPY/PASTE has been used as described above to give numerical values for a1, a2.
Thanks in advance.
In[1]:= Duty = .6; SWfreq = 1*10^6; Vin = 3.2; Vout = 1.8; L =
4.7*10^-7; R = 0.008;
In[2]:= Dt1 =
Duty (1/SWfreq); Dt2 = (1 - Duty) (1/SWfreq); VL2 = - Vout; VL1 =
Vin - Vout; T = 1/SWfreq;
In[3]:= it1 =
Simplify[DSolve[{L i1'[t] + R i1[t] - VL1 == 0, i1[0] == a1}, i1[t],
t]]
Out[3]= {{i1[t] -> 175.+ (-175. + 1. a1) E^(-17021.3 t)}}
In[4]:= it2 =
Simplify[DSolve[{L i2'[t] + R i2[t] - VL2 == 0, i2[0] == a2}, i2[t],
t]]
Out[4]= {{i2[t] -> -225. + (225.+ 1. a2) E^(-17021.3 t)}}
In[5]:= i1[t_] = i1[t] /. it1
Out[5]= {175.+ (-175. + 1. a1) E^(-17021.3 t)}
In[6]:= i2[t_] = i2[t] /. it2
Out[6]= {-225. + (225.+ 1. a2) E^(-17021.3 t)}
In[7]:= FindRoot[{i1[0] == i2[T],
i1[Dt1] == i2[Dt1]},
{a1, 0}, {a2, 0}]
