performance tuning - Finding all sets of elements with two common elements in a large dataset


I have a very large network of atoms ($\approx 10^6$ atoms) with fixed positions that resemble a cellular structure:


enter image description here



I have two files including:



  • fixed locations of each atom

  • set of points which makes each cell.


The first one is like:


 1 1.72907 3.50783
2 3.89771 506.561
3 514.767 4.35252
...


The second dataset has $\approx 5 \times 10^5$ rows (but size of each row is different). For example:


{1,3,485,969,970,971,1452}
{1,487,488,970,972}
{1, 485, 486, 487, 966, 968}
{2,99706,99707,99708,99709,100190,100191}
{2,99225,99226,99227,99708,99710,99711}
{2, 99222, 99223, 99224, 99225, 99706}
...


I need to find out all sets which have exactly two elements in common ($=$ two cells share an edge or in other words, are neighbors). I already have a code but it's inefficient because it compares the sets line by line. Here's my code ($n$ is number of rows):


 ParallelEvaluate[file = OpenWrite["RN" <> ToString[$KernelID] <> ".dat"]]    

ParallelDo[
WriteString[file, i, " ",
Flatten[Last[Reap[Do[If[Length[Intersection[ring[[i]], ring[[j]]]] == 2,
Sow[j]], {j, 1, n}]]]], "\n"]
, {i, 1, n}];

ParallelEvaluate[Close@file];


I find intersection length of a specific set $i$ (ring[[i]]) with all other sets and if it is equal to two, I write the set number in a file. Is there anyway to improve efficiency of this code?


Update


I have an alternative solution without using Intersection and with only one loop, as follows:


 ring = ReadList["rings.dat", Number, RecordLists -> True];
ParallelEvaluate[file = OpenWrite["RN" <> ToString[$KernelID] <> ".dat"]]

ParallelDo[
RN = Complement[First/@Tally[Flatten[First /@ Position[ring, #] & /@ ring[[i]]]],
{i}];

WriteString[file, i, " ", RN ,"\n"]
, {i, 1, n}];

ParallelEvaluate[Close@file];

But it seems it is not that much better than previous one.



Answer



apologies for typos I had to retype this. (edit there was one now fixed)


 amax = Max@Flatten@idx;


construct complementary connectivity list.


 atomc = Flatten@# &/@ Last@Reap[Do[Sow[i,#]&/@idx[[i]],{i,Length[idx]}],Range[amax]];

extract neighbors (should be fast):


 celln = Flatten@(First/@Select[Tally@Flatten[atomc[[#]]&/@#],#[[2]]==2 &]) &/@idx ;

timing results for the example set w/ 823 cells:



{.0251,.0238}




for the two steps.


example result: celln[[400]]



{397,399,402,744,745}



This takes a minute for ~10^6 cells.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

How to thread a list

functions - Get leading series expansion term?

Given a function f[x] , I would like to have a function leadingSeries that returns just the leading term in the series around x=0 . For example: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x)] x and leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x^3)/4)/(4 + x)] -(1/(16 x^3)) Is there such a function in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it efficiently? EDIT I finally went with the following implementation, based on Carl Woll 's answer: lds[ex_,x_]:=( (ex/.x->(x+O[x]^2))/.SeriesData[U_,Z_,L_List,Mi_,Ma_,De_]:>SeriesData[U,Z,{L[[1]]},Mi,Mi+1,De]//Quiet//Normal) The advantage is, that this one also properly works with functions whose leading term is a constant: lds[Exp[x],x] 1 Answer Update 1 Updated to eliminate SeriesData and to not return additional terms Perhaps you could use: leadingSeries[expr_, x_] := Normal[expr /. x->(x+O[x]^2) /. a_List :> Take[a, 1]] Then for your examples: leadingSeries[(1/x + 2)/(4 + 1/x^2 + x), x] leadingSeries[Exp[x], x] leadingSeries[(1/x + 2 + (1 - 1/x...
