While solving set of differential equations with NDSolve, I got NDSolve::initf: The initialization of the method NDSolve`StateSpace failed
Now I'm trying to solve partial differential equation by discretizing spatial coordinate. These equations are a kind of fluid equation and the fluid is annihilated at the x=0.
The variables are matter ...

Is it possible to get symbolic integral for this?
Here is the function
$$
I \;=\;\int_{\theta=0}^{\pi}\!\!\!\int_{\phi=0}^{2\pi}
\dfrac{R^2\,\sin(\theta)\,\Bigl(\tfrac{a}{2} \;-\;R\,\sin(\theta)\,\cos(\phi)\Bigr)}
{\bigl[a^2 \;-\; a\,R\,\bigl(\sin\...

Simulating k-many 'Electrons' with 'Repulsion' on 'Atoms'
Perhaps a better title would be:
"Simulating k-many Moving Points with Distance Contraints on Sphere-like Cages"
because I am not concerned about representing anything physically real. This ...
