    Study Notes

    Course Title and Instructor

    • Python for Rapid Engineering Solutions
    • Steve Millman

    Objectives

    • Finding roots of nonlinear equations
    • Examining numerical methods
    • Using fsolve to find roots
    • Examining examples
    • Finding minima and maxima of functions (new)
    • (Potential) Solving for voltages in a diode circuit. (new)

    Solving Nonlinear Equations

    • Many equations require numerical methods.

    Newton's Method

    • Formula: xnew = x - f(x)/f'(x)
    • Advantage: Converges quickly
    • Disadvantage: Needs the derivative f'(x)
    • Disadvantage: May have multiple roots
    • Disadvantage: May jump too far when f'(x) is small
    • Possible Solution: Use a factor (r) to limit Δx in the formula xnew = x - r*f(x)/f'(x)

    Relaxation Method

    • Goal: Rearrange the equation to the form x = f(x)
    • Steps:
      • Start with a guess for x
      • Plug the guess into f(x) to get a new value of x
      • Repeat steps 1 and 2 until Δx < ε (a tolerance value

    Relaxation Method Example

    • Equation: x² + 2x + 1 = 0 (roots are -1)
    • Rearranged: x = -(x² + 1)/2
    • Disadvantage: May have multiple roots
    • Disadvantage: Doesn't always converge

    fsolve

    • Function from scipy.optimize to find roots of an equation. It can also be used for finding minima and maxima, but the nature of the function is a crucial factor.

    Lagrange Point

    • Finding the point between two objects (like Earth and Moon) where their gravitational forces cancel.

    Lagrange Point Formula (Earth/Moon)

    • GMEarthmsat /r² = GMMoonmsat/(R-r)² - msat ω²r = 0

    Lagrange Point Code

    • Includes constants representing gravitational constant, Earth mass, Moon mass, distance, and angular rate of the Moon.
    • Uses fsolve function from scipy.optimize to find the solution.
    • Includes plotting to visualize the function and the root.
    • Goal: Finding an x1 where f(x1) < 0. Then finding an x2 where f(x2) > 0.
    • Steps:
      • Set x3 = (x1 + x2) / 2.
      • If f(x3) < 0, set x1 = x3. Otherwise, set x2 = x3
      • Repeat until the difference between x1 and x2 is smaller than a tolerance value.
    • A method for finding the maximum of a function (opposite of finding a minimum)
    • Uses 4 points that are close together, trying to zoom in on the maximum value by squeezing the 4 values together, and by comparing the output of function at those points.
    • Useful for optimization problems where a function has a maximum or minimum.

    Optimization

    • Goal: Finding the minimum or maximum of a function
    • Complexity: Optimization problems can be challenging and complex. There are many powerful optimizers in Python to deal with complex situations

    Six-Hump Problem

    • A challenging problem found in the optimization area used as a demonstration of the optimization procedures
    • Has multiple local minima to be calculated by optimization methods

    Residuals and Nonlinear Fits

    • Goal: Fitting parameterized curves to data
    • Method: Using a least squares (a minimization algorithm) to fine-tune the parameters to minimize the difference between predicted and actual values

    leastsq

    • Function from scipy.optimize for finding the best parameters in an optimization problem, by minimizing the sum of squares.
    • Used for nonlinear curve fits or when data doesn't exactly match a formula.

    Light Bulb Optimization

    • Goal: Finding the temperature at which the energy output (or efficiency) of a light bulb is maximized
    • Method: Using integration and the Golden Search approach to find that temperature.
