bugs - Numerous Extraneous Error Messages from EvaluationData


In the course of solving question 134644, I encountered the message




Reduce::ztest1: Unable to decide whether numeric quantity -Log[5381171456512]+Log[(-Sqrt[101] Log2-10 Sqrt[101] Log[5]+101 (Log[<<1>>]+<<1>>+<<1>>)+Sqrt[101] Log[Plus[<<2>>]])^10/((30100251-2278951 Sqrt[101]) (Log2+10 Log[5]-Log[Plus[<<2>>]])^10)] is equal to zero. Assuming it is.





with the numeric quantity in Short form. To obtain the entire expression, I tried


EvaluationData[Reduce[eq3 /. {m -> 0, n -> 0}, {A, c1, d, k}, Reals]]

along the line of an answer by Szabolcs. Indeed, it provided the desired complete expression. But, it also provided about 125 error messages, all apparently internally generated by EvaluationData. Although the desired quantity can be isolated by


EvaluationData[Reduce[eq3 /. {m -> 0, n -> 0}, {A, c1, d, k}, Reals]]
    ["MessagesExpressions"][[-1, 1, 2]] // ReleaseHold
(* -Log[5381171456512] + Log[(-Sqrt[101] Log[2] - 10 Sqrt[101] Log[5] + 
   101 (Log[2] + 10 Log[5] - Log[30100251 - 2278951 Sqrt[101]]) + 

   Sqrt[101] Log[30100251 - 2278951 Sqrt[101]])^10/((30100251 - 2278951 Sqrt[101]) 
   (Log[2] + 10 Log[5] - Log[30100251 - 2278951 Sqrt[101]])^10)] *)

I do not find this work-around particularly satisfying. Two questions:



  1. Is this undesired EvaluationData behavior a bug? (I believe it is.)

  2. Does an alternative work-around exist, perhaps by instructing Message not to use Short on lengthy expressions.


Edit: Bug apparently fixed in Version 11.1


Reduce no longer produces the warning message given above for Reduce[eq3 /. {m -> 0, n -> 0}, {A, c1, d, k}, Reals], so I could not test



    EvaluationData[Reduce[eq3 /. {m -> 0, n -> 0}, {A, c1, d, k}, Reals]]

on the exact same case. I tried a different case, and it worked fine.



Answer



This does seem like a bug and I'll file a report.


In terms of workarounds, it is possible to avoid the application of Short by something like


Block[{$MessagePrePrint}, 
 ClearSystemCache[]; Reduce[eq3 /. {m -> 0, n -> 0}, Reals] // Simplify]

(note ClearSystemCache[] has been added to make sure the Reduce::ztest1 message is always issued)



and the following uses the testing framework to collect the message


VerificationTest[ClearSystemCache[]; 
  Reduce[eq3 /. {m -> 0, n -> 0}, Reals] // Simplify;, Null]["ActualMessages"]

(* {HoldForm[Message[Reduce::ztest1, HoldForm[-Log[5381171456512] + 
       Log[((-Sqrt[101])*Log[2] - 10*Sqrt[101]*Log[5] + 
          101*(Log[2] + 10*Log[5] - Log[30100251 - 2278951*Sqrt[101]]) + 
          Sqrt[101]*Log[30100251 - 2278951*Sqrt[101]])^10/((30100251 - 
           2278951*Sqrt[101])*(Log[2] + 10*Log[5] - 
            Log[30100251 - 2278951*Sqrt[101]])^10)]]]]} *)

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
