Why would something simple:
DSolve[{Derivative[2][x][t] == (-Subscript[\[Omega], 0]^2)*
x[t], x[0] == x0, Derivative[1][x][0] == v0}, x,
t]
Fail with:
\!\(\*FormBox[
RowBox[{\(DSolve::"bvfail"\), \(\(:\)\(\ \)\), "\<\"For some branches of
the general solution, unable to solve
the conditions. \\!\\(\\*ButtonBox[\\\"More…\\\", \
ButtonStyle->\\\"RefGuideLinkText\\\", ButtonFrame->None, \
ButtonData:>\\\"DSolve::bvfail\\\"]\\)\"\>"}], TraditionalForm]\)
Whereas:
In[194]:=
sol1 = DSolve[
Derivative[2][x][t] ==
(-Subscript[\[Omega], 0]^2)*
x[t], x, t]
Works just fine.
I am just having terrible trouble with ODE's that should be straightforward. Another example:
In[143]:=
m = 10^16;
mp = 1.2211*10^19;
G = mp^(-2);
V[\[Phi]_] := (1/2)*m^2*\[Phi][t]
\[Rho][\[Phi]_] :=
Derivative[1][\[Phi]][t]^2/2 +
V[\[Phi]]
H := Sqrt[((8*Pi*G)/3)*
\[Rho][\[Phi]]]
In[149]:=
Inflaton :=
Derivative[2][\[Phi]][t] +
3*H*Derivative[1][\[Phi]][
t] + D[V[\[Phi]], \[Phi]]
In[163]:=
f = \[Phi] /. First[NDSolve[
{Inflaton == 0,
Derivative[1][\[Phi]][
t] == 0}, \[Phi],
{t, 0, 100*m}]]
Gives:
NDSolve::overdet: There are fewer dependent variables, {ϕ(t)}, than
equations, so the system is overdetermined.
and ReplaceAll::reps (I can't copy the error message due to all the associated garbage. Another fun issue, since I *could* copy the previous message fine.)
This is incredible frustrating.
