equation solving - Is there a better way to get the eight points of intersection?


I want to get the eight points of intersection from the equations 2 Abs[x] + Abs[y] == 1 and Abs[x] + 2 Abs[y] == 1. To solve these equations, I tried


Solve[{2 Abs[x] + Abs[y] == 1, Abs[x] + 2 Abs[y] == 1}, {x, y}]

but could only get the four points. I then tried


y /. Quiet@Solve[#, y] /. 
Abs[x_] -> {x, -x} & /@ {2 Abs[x] + Abs[y] == 1, Abs[x] + 2 Abs[y] == 1}

p = ({x, y} /. Solve[y == #] & /@ {{1 - 2 x, (1 - x)/2}, {(1 - x)/2, (

1 + x)/2}, {(1 + x)/2, 1 + 2 x}, {1 + 2 x, -1 - 2 x}, {-1 - 2 x,
1/2 (-1 - x)}, {1/2 (-1 - x),
1/2 (-1 + x)}, {1/2 (-1 + x), -1 + 2 x}, {-1 + 2 x, 1 - 2 x}})~
Flatten~1


{{1/3, 1/3}, {0, 1/2}, {-(1/3), 1/3}, {-(1/2), 0}, {-(1/3), -(1/3)}, {0, -(1/2)}, {1/3, -(1/3)}, {1/2, 0}}



It works, but I don't like it. Could you recommend a better method?

Answer



Actually, the way I interpret your ContourPlot, there are only 4 points of intersection (red/blue curves). So I do interpret your question such that you want to include intersection with the coord axes as well. I hope this helps:


eq1 = 2 Abs[x] + Abs[y] == 1;
eq2 = Abs[x] + 2 Abs[y] == 1;

p = {x, y} /.
(Solve[#, {x, y}] & /@
{{eq1, eq2},
{x == 0, eq2},
{eq1, y == 0}})~Flatten~1

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-...

plotting - Magnifying Glass on a Plot

Although there is a trick in TEX magnifying glass but I want to know is there any function to magnifying glass on a plot with Mathematica ? For example for a function as Sin[x] and at x=Pi/6 Below, this is just a picture desired from the cited site. the image got huge unfortunately I don't know how can I change the size of an image here! Answer Insetting a magnified part of the original Plot A) by adding a new Plot of the specified range xPos = Pi/6; range = 0.2; f = Sin; xyMinMax = {{xPos - range, xPos + range}, {f[xPos] - range*GoldenRatio^-1, f[xPos] + range*GoldenRatio^-1}}; Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 5}, Epilog -> {Transparent, EdgeForm[Thick], Rectangle[Sequence @@ Transpose[xyMinMax]], Inset[Plot[f[x], {x, xPos - range, xPos + range}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> xyMinMax, ImageSize -> 270], {4., 0.5}]}, ImageSize -> 700] B) by adding a new Plot within a Circle mf = RegionMember[Disk[{xPos, f[xPos]}, {range, range/GoldenRatio}]] Show...
