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[ ...

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...
