calculus and analysis - How to find a more precise value of integral?


Mathematica 11 produces



NIntegrate[ArcCot[x]*Sin[x]/(5/4 + Cos[x]), {x, 0, Infinity}, 
Method -> "ExtrapolatingOscillatory", AccuracyGoal -> 10,
WorkingPrecision -> 20]
0.746733605129940959

This is 4.573.3 from Gradshteyn & Ryzhik. Up to G&R the result is


 N[Pi*Log[3/2/(1 + 1/2*Exp[-1])], 10]
0.7433557514

The question arises: how to obtain it in Mathematica?




Answer



Here's an extrapolatory approach based on Richardson extrapolation of the integrals over each "period." (Richardson[] code from Anton Antonov's answer here):


Clear[Richardson]
Richardson[A_, n_, N_] :=
Total@Table[(A[n + k]*(n + k)^N*If[OddQ[k + N], -1, 1])/(k! (N - k)!), {k, 0, N}]

(* the integral from 2 n Pi to 2 (n+1) Pi *)
Clear[aa];
aa[n_Integer /; n >= 0] :=
aa[n] = NIntegrate[ArcCot[x]*Sin[x]/(5/4 + Cos[x]), {x, 2 n Pi, 2 (n + 1) Pi},

WorkingPrecision -> 50];

We get around machine precision with 100 terms plus 6 extrapolation terms:


sf[n_] := Sum[aa[i], {i, 0, n}]; (* partial sum = integral over {0, 2 (n+1) Pi} *)
Richardson[sf, 100, 6]
% - Pi*Log[3/2/(1 + 1/2*Exp[-1])]
(*
0.743355751361227474780881457479018423835
-2.97535713733265290609713*10^-16
*)


Without extrapolation:


sf[100]
% - Pi*Log[3/2/(1 + 1/2*Exp[-1])]
(*
0.74207790286093203962531860751097243182349263171074
-0.00127784850029573269127658323333660172377741318898
*)




Update


More extrapolatory terms yields an approximation accurate to machine precision with many fewer terms overall:


Richardson[sf, 1, 16]
% - Pi*Log[3/2/(1 + 1/2*Exp[-1])]
(*
0.74335575136122767678505611095516483469029
-9.553153907978914419885698*10^-17
*)

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[ ...

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...

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...
