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

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[ ...

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...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...
