Introduction

Matrix differential equations can often become complex, especially when time-dependent coefficients are involved. This can be further complicated if those coefficients themselves are solutions to other differential equations. In this guide, we're going to explore a practical example of how to solve a time-dependent matrix differential equation in Python using SciPy and NumPy.

The Problem

You may find yourself in a situation where you need to solve a matrix differential equation that is affected by a time-dependent coefficient. In our case, the coefficient G(t) is not a simple function but instead a solution of another differential equation. The challenge lies in how to effectively handle this within your code.

As a starting point, consider the simpler case where G(t) is defined as a pulse function. Here’s what the basic structure could look like:

However, the current implementation only allows us to handle G(t) as a simple function like pulse(t).

The Solution

To properly address the differential equation dot(G(t)) = -kappa * G(t) + pulse(t), we need to implement a more sophisticated approach within our function. Let's break down the steps required.

Step 1: Splitting State and Derivative Vectors

Instead of handling the covariance matrix and the time-dependent coefficient separately, we combine them into a composite state vector u. This allows us to manage multiple derivatives simultaneously by organizing them into a single structure.

Step 2: Initial Vector Composition

To align the dimensions correctly, you need to create an initial vector that is structured as a combination of your covariance and G(t) matrices. This ensures that when you integrate these in scipy, both components are accounted for properly.

Step 3: Implementing the Changes

You will then set up your initial conditions and run the solver with the Leq function. Here’s an outline of how your complete setup might look:

Conclusion

By structuring your approach to solve time-dependent matrix differential equations in Python like this, you can effectively tackle more complex scenarios. Remember, the key is to master the organization of your state vectors and how to reshape and manipulate them accordingly.
