mathlink or wstp - Running .NET/Link on Mono (On MacOS or any UNIX or Linux Distro)


Has anyone have any luck running .NET/Link on Mono?


When I run .NET/Link to call Mathematica from within a Mono program, this is the error message I receive.


Unhandled Exception:
System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Wolfram.NETLink.Internal.NativeLink ---> System.DllNotFoundException: mathlink
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) Wolfram.NETLink.Internal.MacMathLinkAPIProvider:MLBegin (intptr)

  at Wolfram.NETLink.Internal.NativeLink..cctor () [0x00000] in :0 
  --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

  at Wolfram.NETLink.MathLinkFactory.CreateKernelLink (System.String cmdLine) [0x00000] in :0

Now the C# code for calling Mathematica is:


    _kl = MathLinkFactory.CreateKernelLink("-linkmode launch -linkname '\"/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel\" -mathlink'");

The same argument worked for J/Link, but for some reason does not work on NETLink.



Answer




To use .NET/Link from a Mono program, you need to make sure that the system can find the MathLink shared library. This generally means adding the appropriate path to an environment variable that the system uses for library lookups. You can do this is in the standard way that is appropriate for your OS/shell program, either in a shell config file or on the command line. For example:


On OSX:


export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:/Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/Frameworks/mathlink.framework
mono MyProgram

On Linux:


export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/9.0/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux
mono MyProgram

Most of .NET/Link works fine with Mono.

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...
