Problem with bool in solve()

3

It’s not clear to me what the intended behavior of the program is, but the direct cause of the error is that f_heat involves a TrialFunction. When using the a == L syntax for the first argument of solve, a should be linear in each of a TestFunction and a TrialFunction, and L should be linear in a TestFunction (and not include a TrialFunction). In the given code, L not only includes the TrialFunction component u_2 (through f_heat), but is nonlinear in it. (With the given code, I first get a different error due to temp=u_n in the arguments passed while defining sigma, because u_n is not scalar, which I resolved by passing u_n1 instead.)

P.S. Note that you can format multi-line code blocks by including three backticks before and after (and, optionally, specify the programming language after the first triple backtick), e.g.,

```python
line 1
line 2
line 3
```
