numerical integration - Slow evaluation of NIntegrate when used as a pure function


I asked a perhaps related question here.


Here is my code in below. The goal is that to define a function which must be integrated numerically. The function itself first is calculated over different times, then I give it another input and finally it is integrated . The time needed to complete calculations is 57 seconds. I want to use this function inside NMinimize to obtain some parameters. However, I removed almost everything to make the problem clear. I think one reason for slow calculation is BesselJZero function. Note that this function in my application has a variable input but I made it fix for simplicity. Without it calculation is done in 10 seconds, but still it is slow. As I said I need to use this function in NMinimize so slow evaluation makes it longer to find the desired parameters. I have the same code in Matlab. It calculates in 0.28 seconds.


What am I doing wrong in Mathematica?


When there is a few time point and hence the length of the list which NIntegrate act upon is small, there isn't any difference between Mathematica and Matlab. Yet by increasing the number of elements of this list Mathematica is left behind Matlab. Is this a clue to solve this problem?!


Mathematica code:


taxis = Table[i, {i, 1, 2046, 2}];
model = Sum[

Exp[-(v)^2*N@BesselJZero[0.5, n]*c*t] /. {c -> #1, v -> #2, t -> #3}, {n, 1, 30}];
model2 = Evaluate[model] &;(* I make a pure function from the previous expression*)
model3 = NIntegrate[model2[#1, v, taxis], {v, 0, 100}, MinRecursion -> 11 , MaxRecursion -> 12, AccuracyGoal -> 5] &;(* I put the time points in the pure function model2 and the integrate over v and define a pure function *)
Total[model3[1.]] // AbsoluteTiming

Matlab code, you need besselzero code which can be downloaded from here. If you don't want to download that code you can evaluate it by removing the commented part and bz(n):


function G = test(p)
c = p(1);
t = 1:2:2046;
iter = 30;

bz = besselzero((3/2)-1,iter,1);% If you don't want to download besselzero function delete this line and bz(n) in the below
Sum = 0;
for n = 1:iter
Sum = Sum + integral(@(v) exp(-(v^2)*bz(n)*c*t),0,100,'ArrayValued',true);
end
G = sum(Sum) ;
end

run Matlab's code:


clc 

clear all
tic
test(1)
toc

Note than the upper limit on integration is 100 which meant to represent infinity. When I used infinity I got some errors.


Edit


I can't see how this might help. But here is another example which cannot be integrated in a closed form:


taxis = Table[2.*i, {i, 1, 1023}];
model = Sum[

Exp[-(v^(-2/d)+v)*N@BesselJZero[0.5*d-1, n]*c*t] /. {d->#1, c -> #2, v -> #3, t -> #4}, {n, 1, 30}];
model2 = Evaluate[model] &;(* I make a pure function from the previous expression*)
model3 = NIntegrate[model2[#1,#2, v, taxis], {v, 0, 100}, MinRecursion -> 11 , MaxRecursion -> 12, AccuracyGoal -> 5] &;(* I put the time points in the pure function model2 and the integrate over v and define a pure function *)
Total[model3[1.65,1.]] // AbsoluteTiming

The example works. Before I missed a minus sign so it didn't work. I changed the taxis in Mathematica code to make it the same as t in Matlab code, not a big difference though.


Edit2


This code runs two times faster than the example shown in the question(not the one in the edit section)


the example in the question:


model3 = NIntegrate[model2[#1, v, taxis], {v, 0, 100}, MinRecursion -> 11 , MaxRecursion -> 12, AccuracyGoal -> 5] &;


faster version:


model4 = NIntegrate[Total[model2[#1, v, taxis]], {v, 0, 100},MinRecursion -> 11, MaxRecursion -> 12, AccuracyGoal -> 5] &;

In the first one I ran NIntegrate over a list and finally in the next line I summed all the terms. In the improved one at first I summed the terms and then used NIntegrate. Yet, it is much slower than Matlab.

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[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

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...
