I have a system of two parabolic PDEs with c coefficient of second equation as a function of solution of both first and second equation. I defined c coefficient as a function handle, but getting error: Function handle specifying a coefficient must accept two input arguments and return one output argument.

My function handle is: function c = ccofficient(region,state)

Dref = 2.592e-5; % reference humidity diffucion coefficient in m^2/day alpha = 0.05; % represents Dh,min/Dh,max n = 10; % characterises spread of the drop in Dh U = 25; % activation energy of moisture diffusion process in kJ/mol Tref = 23; % Reference temperature at which Dh,ref measured te = 28; % hydration period of concrete in days hc = 0.75; % value of pore relative humidity at which Dh drops halfway between Dh,max and Dh,min. R = -0.03056; % gas constant in Joule/(mol^oC) t = state.time; n1 = 2; nr = numel(region.x); c = zeros(n1,nr); c(1,:) = k*ones(1,n1); c(2,:) = Dref*(alpha+(1-alpha)+(1+((1-state.u(:,2,t))/(1-hc)).^n))*exp(U/R*(1/Tref-1/(state.u(:,1,t))))... *0.3+(13/te).^0.5;

Kindly suggest me how to write function handle for this type of nonlinear parabolic system of PDE.

 function cmatrix = ccoeffunction(region,state)
Dref = 2.592e-5; % reference humidity diffucion coefficient in m^2/day
alpha = 0.05; % represents Dh,min/Dh,max
n = 10; % characterises spread of the drop in Dh
U = 25; % activation energy of moisture diffusion process in kJ/mol
Bh = 0.02592; % Surface humidity transfer coefficient
Tref = 23; % Reference temperature at which Dh,ref measured
te = 28; % hydration period of concrete in days
hc = 0.75; % value of pore relative humidity at which Dh drops halfway between Dh,max and Dh,min.
R = -0.03056; % gas constant in Joule/(mol^oC)
n1 = 2;
nr = numel(region.x);
cmatrix = zeros(n1,nr);
cmatrix(1,:) = k*ones(1,nr);
cmatrix(2,:) = Dref*(alpha+(1-alpha)+(1+((1-state.u(:,2))/(1-hc)).^n))*exp(U/R*(1/Tref-1/(state.u(:,1))))...
    *0.3+(13/te).^0.5;

This is my code for the function handle to define coefficient c. I have rectified the initial code by eliminating t = state.time. and now getting error in line nr = numel(region.x).

 function cmatrix = ccoeffunction(region,state)
n1 = 9;
nr = numel(region.x);
cmatrix = zeros(n1,nr);
cmatrix(1,:) = ones(1,nr);
cmatrix(2,:) = 2*ones(1,nr);
cmatrix(3,:) = 8*ones(1,nr);
cmatrix(4,:) = 1+region.x.^2 + region.y.^2;
cmatrix(5,:) = state.u(2,:)./(1 + state.u(1,:).^2 + state.u(3,:).^2);
cmatrix(6,:) = cmatrix(4,:);
cmatrix(7,:) = 5*region.subdomain;
cmatrix(8,:) = -ones(1,nr);
cmatrix(9,:) = cmatrix(7,:);

I created a function for c coefficient using the above example given in MATLAB documentation.

My problem is a system of parabolic equations. I want to make sure that parabolic non linear system of PDE can be solved using PDE toolbox in MATLAB.

However when I write the state.u as mentioned above error shows up:

Function handle specifying a coefficient must accept two input arguments and return one output argument.

Hi Aditi,

This error generally indicates that the function for c, ccoefficient, did not return a output value. This could be due to a syntax error in the function. You can insert a breakpoint in the function and step through the code to identify the line containing error.

Ravi

>> ccoeffunction

Not enough input arguments.

Error in ccoeffunction (line 32)

nr = numel(region.subdomain);

 cmatrix(2,:) = Dref*(alpha+(1-alpha)+(1+((1-state.u(:,2))/(1-hc)).^n))*exp(U/R*(1/Tref-1/(state.u(:,1))))...
    *0.3+(13/te).^0.5;

I was able to resolve the error as mentioned in my previous comment

nr = numel(region.subdomain);

Kindly guide me how to write the state.u in cmatrix(2,:) above, as I am still getting error

Error using pde.CoefficientAssignment/checkCoefFcnHdlArgCounts (line 531) Function handle specifying a coefficient must accept two input arguments and return one output argument.

Error in pde.CoefficientAssignment/checkFcnHdlArgCounts (line 267) self.checkCoefFcnHdlArgCounts(self.c, systemsize, ndims);

Error in pde.CoefficientAssignment (line 105) obj.checkFcnHdlArgCounts(systemsize, numdims);

Error in pde.PDEModel/specifyCoefficients (line 121) coef = pde.CoefficientAssignment(coefcont,argsToPass{:});

Error in combinedll (line 48) specifyCoefficients(pdem,'m',0,'c',@ccoeffunction,'a',0,'f',f,'d',d);

Note here, my result u is time varying, and I am solving two PDEs.
