hold - Element of list not evaluating derivative after I define function


I have the following code


Clear[AdomTrunctest, AdomPolyNtest, ListPolytest, y];
AdomTrunctest = 3;
ExDtest := Sum[D[y[n, t], t], {n, 0, AdomTrunctest}];

Ntest = Expand[(y'[t])^2 /. y'[t] -> ExDtest ];
ListPolytest =
Reverse[MonomialList[
Ntest /. y[x_, z_] -> EPS^x*y[x, z] /.
Derivative[A_, B_][y][x_, z_] ->
EPS^x*Derivative[A, B][y][x, z], EPS]] /. EPS -> 1;
For[i = 0, i < AdomTrunctest + 1, i++,
AdomPolyNtest[i] = ListPolytest[[i + 1]]]
For[i = 0, i < AdomTrunctest + 1, i++,
Print["A", i, " = ", AdomPolyNtest[i]]]


y[0, t_] = 1 + 2 t

Print["A", 0, " = ", AdomPolyNtest[0]]

My issue is with the last few lines, if you run this code you will see the third last line prints the general form of the so called polynomials I am calculating, everything is good. However once I define y[0, t_] = 1 + 2 t in the second to last line, I expect now that once I call AdomPolyNtest[0] in the last line, that the derivative of y[0,t] be evaluated, and not left general, but it is instead left general. I believe this is because I have replaced ExDtest which was SetDelayedwith Derivative within the MonomialList command, so it is no longer "evaluated afresh" each time it is called.

After


Clear[AdomTrunctest, AdomPolyNtest, ListPolytest, y];
AdomTrunctest = 3;

ExDtest := Sum[D[y[n, t], t], {n, 0, AdomTrunctest}];
Ntest = Expand[(y'[t])^2 /. y'[t] -> ExDtest ];
ListPolytest =
Reverse[MonomialList[
Ntest /. y[x_, z_] -> EPS^x*y[x, z] /.
Derivative[A_, B_][y][x_, z_] ->
EPS^x*Derivative[A, B][y][x, z], EPS]] /. EPS -> 1;
For[i = 0, i < AdomTrunctest + 1, i++, AdomPolyNtest[i] = ListPolytest[[i + 1]]]
For[i = 0, i < AdomTrunctest + 1, i++, Print["A", i, " = ", AdomPolyNtest[i]]]


instead of locking in an explicit expression for y, consider defining a substitution function such as


suby = { y :> (If[#1 === 0, 1 + 2 #2, y[#1, #2]] &) }

This will substitute the implicit function 1+2 #2 in place of y (where #2 is the second argument of y) if the first argument of y is equal to #1 === 0:


Print["A", 0, " = ", AdomPolyNtest[0] /. suby]


A0 = 4

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

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

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[ ...
