In PabRod/waydown: Computation of Approximate Potentials for Weakly Non-Gradient Fields

Approximate potential difference between two points

Description

Approximate potential difference between two points

Usage

deltaV(f, x, x0, normType = "f")

Arguments

f	Flow equations (right hand side of differential equation)
x	Position where we want to know the approximate potential
x0	Reference position (center of the Taylor expansion)
normType	(default: 'f') Matrix norm used to compute the error

Value

A list containing the approximate potential difference between x and x0 and the estimated error

Examples

# One dimensional flow
f <- function(x) { cos(x) }

# Evaluation points
x0 <- 1
x1 <- 1.02

dV <- deltaV(f, x1, x0)

 # Two dimensional flow
f <- function(x) { c(
 -2*x[1]*x[2],
 -x[1]^2 - 1
)}

# Evaluation points
x0 <- matrix(c(1,2), ncol = 1)
x1 <- matrix(c(0.98,2.01), ncol = 1)

dV <- deltaV(f, x1, x0)
