numerical integration - Can you use "MaxErrorIncreases" when numerically integrating over a region?



How do you pass the option "MaxErrorIncreases" to NIntegrate[] when integrating over a region?


Taking a simple ;) example from Problems with NIntegrate, errors NIntegrate::slwcon and NIntegrate::inumri:


Ω = ImplicitRegion[
   0 <= x <= 34 && -18 <= y <= 0 && ! ((12 < x < 15 && -12 < y) ||
    (15 < x < 20 && -3 < y) || (20 < x < 23 && -7 < y) ||
    (23 < x <= 34 && -3 < y)), {x, y}];
fi = NDSolve[{
   Derivative[0, 2][φ][x, y] + Derivative[2, 0][φ][x, y] == NeumannValue[0, 
     x == 0 && -18 < y < 0 || 0 < x < 34 && y == -18 || 
      x == 34 && -18 < y < -3 || x == 23 && -7 < y < -3 || 

      20 < x < 23 && y == -7 || x == 20 && -7 < y < -3 || 
      15 < x < 20 && y == -3 || x == 15 && -12 < y < -3 || 
      12 < x < 15 && y == -12 || x == 12 && -12 < y < 0], 
   DirichletCondition[φ[x, y] == 1.5, 0 <= x <= 12 && y == 0], 
   DirichletCondition[φ[x, y] == 0.4, 23 <= x <= 34 && y == -3]},
   φ, {x, y} ∈ Ω,
  "ExtrapolationHandler" -> {0 &, "WarningMessage" -> False}];

Then on this integral we get a warning that suggests raising "MaxErrorIncreases":


ClearAll[ff];

dxφ = Derivative[1, 0][φ] /. First[fi];
ff[x_?NumericQ, y_?NumericQ] := Quiet@Check[dxφ[x, y], 0.];
NIntegrate[ff[x, y], {x, y} ∈ Ω]


NIntegrate::eincr: The global error of the strategy GlobalAdaptive has increased more than 2000 times....Increasing the value of the GlobalAdaptive option MaxErrorIncreases might lead to a convergent numerical integration....



However, using the usual Method setting results in an error:


NIntegrate[ff[x, y], {x, y} ∈ Ω, Method -> {"GlobalAdaptive", "MaxErrorIncreases" -> 5000}]



NIntegrate::regm: Method GlobalAdaptive is not applicable for a region domain. Continuing with method Automatic.



Is it possible to use "MaxErrorIncreases" with NIntegrate[] over a region?



Answer



I found the strategy, "SymbolicDomainDecomposition":


NIntegrate[ff[x, y], {x, y} ∈ Ω, 
 Method -> {"SymbolicDomainDecomposition", 
   Method -> {"GlobalAdaptive", "MaxErrorIncreases" -> 5000}}]



NIntegrate::eincr: The global error of the strategy GlobalAdaptive has increased more than 5000 times....



(*  -6.0019  *)

It turns out not to be good way to integrate this function. Even with a setting of "MaxErrorIncreases" -> 100000, the result still has a large error. There are better methods for the example integral in the OP, which may be found in the linked question.

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...

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...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
