Hi steve, I think this message got lost. so here's another copy.
hello group,
i'm having problem understanding NumericQ.
eq[a_?NumericQ] := y''[x] + a^2*y[x] == 0
sol[a_?NumericQ] := NDSolve[{eq[a], y[0] == 1, y'[0] == -1}, y, {x, 0,
10}]
s1 = sol[4]
Plot[y[x] /. s1, {x, 0., 10.}]
question is, let's say some choices of "a" makes the equation
non-numeric(ie, make the NDsolve fail), will the above expression
evaluate?
another and unrelated question is ...
how do I export the interpolating function resulting from NDSolve
routine? i remember seeing similar post in the group, but now I can't
find it... the idea is to save the interpolating function as uniquely
named files such that they can be recalled from the front end.
thanks in advance again
sean
