numerics - Non-linear curve fit problem


I am having a problem with making a fit to data in Mathematica, which may involve my understanding of the methods available.


I am trying to fit the derivative of a Frota function (which is a Single Peak curve) together with two Gaussian Amplitudes.


The raw data looks loke this: enter image description here


In theory, the Frota function can be described as:


f[V_, phi_, gamma_, ek_, a_, b_, c_] := 
a*Im[E^(I*phi)*Sqrt[(I*gamma)/(V - ek + I*gamma)]] + b*V + c;


As you can see that is not a function that can be differentiated easily. First I tried to differentiated it in the following way:


df[V_, phi_, gamma_, ek_, a_, b_, c_] := 
D[ComplexExpand[f[x, phi, gamma, ek, a, b, c]], x] /. x -> V;
df[V, phi, gamma, ek, a, b, c]

In principle that works, but the function f has to be complex expanded before taking the derivative, due to the imaginary part not having a non numeric derivative. Moreover, when I plot the function, I have to take the real part. Still I get reasonable results and can fit my data with the function:


dfP2Gauss[V_, phi_, gamma_, ek_, a_, b_, c_, Agauss1_, Agauss2_, 
Gcenter1_, Gcenter2_, gGauss1_, gGauss2_] :=
df[V, phi, gamma, ek, a, b, c] +
(c + Agauss1*E^(-0.5 ((V - center1)/ gGauss1)^2)) +

(c + Agauss2*E^(-0.5 ((V + Gcenter2)/ gGauss2)^2))

where I put some the Gaussian peaks in.


enter image description here


That does not look to bad, but when I start to fit my data (which consists of around 200 points), it takes like 40 minutes to do 100 iteration. Further, it gives bad results, because it makes the Gaussian peaks almost zero, even when I give good starting parameters. I also tried to make borders for the widths of the Gaussians, but then it just stays at the lower limit. Because of the incredible long caluculation time, I can't increase the iterations to say 1000, and even if did I don't it would help much. Maybe someone can help me?


Furthermore, I tried to calculate the derivative numerically:


numericfrota[V_, phi_, gamma_, ek_, a_, b_, c_, y0_] := 
ND[f[V, phi, gamma, ek, a, b, c], V, y0, Terms -> 30]

The calculation of the derivative now goes four times faster, but I can't plot it together with the Gaussians.



My code would be something like this:


numericGauss[V_, phi_, gamma_, ek_, a_, b_, c_, y0_, Agauss1_, 
Agauss2_, Gcenter1_, Gcenter2_, gGauss1_, gGauss2_] :=
numericfrota[V, phi, gamma, ek, a, b, c, y0] +
(c + Agauss1*E^(-0.5 ((V - Gcenter1)/ gGauss1)^2)) +
(c + Agauss2*E^(-0.5 ((V + Gcenter2)/ gGauss2)^2));

But when I try to evaluate this, I need to give to specifications, y0 and V. They need to be the same and go from -0.01 and 0.01. But Mathematica just allows me to give one range, either y0 and V. If I choose to just take V and, therefore, derive the numeric Frota in respect of V at the point V, I just get a straight line. I just don't know how to properly adjust my functions.

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...

calculus and analysis - Integral of the Sinc product

Let us consider the following integral $$ B_n = \int_0^\infty \prod_{k=1,3,5,\dots}^n\frac{\sin (x/k)}{x/k}dx $$ By definition, Sinc[x] == Sin[x]/x , therefore B[n_?OddQ] := Integrate[Product[Sinc[x/k], {k, 1, n, 2}], {x, 0, Infinity}] B /@ Range[1, 13, 2] {Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2} OK, everything is fine. But... B[15] 467807924713440738696537864469 Pi/935615849440640907310521750000 What's going on? Answer As Eckhard wrote in comments B[n] is the n-th Borwein integral . (The letter B was not accidental :) ) This funny properties of Borwein integrals is related to the Fourier transform of Sinc function FourierTransform[Sinc[x], x, k] 1/2 Sqrt[Pi/2] (Sign[1 - k] + Sign[1 + k]) Plot[%, {k, -2, 2}, Filling -> 0] which is the box function. The result is $\pi/2$ while the sum $$ 1/3+1/5+\dots+1/n $$ B_n = \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi \bigg(\sum_{k=3,5,\ldots}^n\frac{1}{k} -1\biggr)^\frac{n-1}{2}\prod_{k=3,5,\dots}^n\frac{k}{k-1}. $$ For $n=15$ it is equal to $$ \frac{46780...
