I wrote the following problem to solve the Euler-Lagrange equation using dsolve. But sympy dot not provide me the particular solution of the Euler-equation, that is, with or without the initial conditions (ics), sympy give me the same result (the general solution). It seems that sympy does not take into account the ics provided.
The program: ========= # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from sympy import Symbol, Function, diff from sympy.calculus.euler import euler_equations from sympy.solvers.ode import dsolve from sympy import init_printing init_printing() x = Function('x') t = Symbol('t') # Integrand L = 1 + diff(x(t),t)**2 # Euler-Lagrange equation eq = euler_equations(L, x(t), t) # Genral solution (without ics) dsolve(eq[0],x(t)) # Particular solution (the initial conditions (ics) are specified) s = dsolve(eq[0], x(t), ics = {x(0): 1, x(1): 2}) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
