The problem with that is that I need to interpolate at very specific x values. If I were to switch x and y, I'd now be feeding my routine a particular y value and it'd be returning the corresponding x... but this is not necessarily at the x value I need. Does that make sense? I'm now...

Hi, I'm trying to interpolate a data set of classical trajectories, but I'm having trouble because the data is basically a multivalued function. The data maps out a periodic function: for every x value, there are about 7 y values. Does anyone have any advice as to how to approach this...

^^ Cute, thanks!

^^ Thanks for the reply. I can see how I could do the former as you said, treating the edges as a special case. It's rather simple in 1D as well.. since the reflection of the momentum over the plane perpendicular to the normal = -pi (incident momentum) I was, however, hoping to find a more...

To clarify I'm looking for how to handle dt, in the limiting case: lim dU/dx → ∞ Δp = -2p = ∫-dU/dx dt

So, I'm writing a code to solve Hamilton's equations for a free classical particle incident on different potential barriers in 1D. I'm eventually going to be using this for some sort of semi-classical analysis, but for now have to get this working as expected. I first tested it using a...
