plotting - LogLogPlot plugs in zero


Bug introduced in 10.0 and fixed in 10.0.2



In testing the answers to Plot result of non analytical-integral in V10.0.1, I came across this behavior of LogLogPlot. All three version give the correct plot, but the first two give error messages.


ClearAll[f1, f2, f3, x];
k = 1/x;

kfn[x_?NumericQ] := 1/x;
f1[x_?NumericQ] := NIntegrate[k*y, {y, 0, 1}];       (* kludgy *)
f2[x_?NumericQ] := NIntegrate[kfn[x]*y, {y, 0, 1}];  (* correct way, but gives errors *)
f3[x_?Positive] := NIntegrate[k*y, {y, 0, 1}];       (* also correct and no errors *)

LogLogPlot[f1[x], {x, 1, 10}]
LogLogPlot[f2[x], {x, 1, 10}]
LogLogPlot[f3[x], {x, 1, 10}]

The first two give the message (twice):




NIntegrate::inumr: The integrand y/x has evaluated to non-numerical values for all sampling points in the region with boundaries {{0,1}}. >>



The second gives an additional message (twice):



Power::infy: Infinite expression 1/0 encountered. >>



Why does this happen? Is this a bug?


Notes: (1) It does not happen on V9. I seem to recall this coming up before (years ago). If folks have earlier versions, please test the code above. (2) Reported to WRI. (3) WRI confirmed it in 10.0.1 and stated it was resolved in 10.0.2.



Answer




The issue in V10.0.1 is that LogLogPlot uses x = 0 as a test point, instead of a value inside the specified plot domain.


The issue is resolved in V10.0.2.


Confirmed by WRI.

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...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...
