simplifying expressions - Simplify rules with variable number of arguments


Problem



How to simplify the following rules?




  • The rules simplify (single, double, triple ...) summations of Kronecker delta.




  • Replacement should occur if any summation and the Kronecker delta share an index.




The rules



Single summation:


expr /. Sum[y_ KroneckerDelta[r_, s_], {s1_, 1, p1_}] :> (y /. s1 -> r)

Double summation:


expr /. Sum[y_ KroneckerDelta[r_, s_], {s1_, 1, p1_}, {s2_, 1, p2_}] :> 
    Sum[(y /. s1 -> r), {s2, 1, p2}]

Tripple summation:


Sum[y_ KroneckerDelta[r_, s_], {s1_, 1, p1_}, {s2_, 1, p2_}, {s3_, 1, p3_}] :> 
    Sum[(y /. s1 -> r), {s2, 1, p2}, {s3_, 1, p3_}]


Test Case


expr0 = Sum[Log[Sum[A[j, k, l]*B[j, k, l], {l, 1, L}]], 
            {j, 1, J}, {k, 1, K}]
expr = Simplify[D[expr0, A[a, b, c]]]
expr = expr /. Sum[y_ KroneckerDelta[r_, s_], {s_, 1, p_}] :> 
            (y /. s -> r)
expr = expr /. Sum[y_ KroneckerDelta[r_, s_], {s1_, 1, p1_}, {s2_, 1, p2_}] :> 
            Sum[(y /. s1 -> r), {s2, 1, p2}]
expr = expr /. Sum[y_ KroneckerDelta[r_, s_], {s_, 1, p_}] :> 

            (y /. s -> r)

Attempt


I try to replace all the rules with the following rule:


Sum[y_ KroneckerDelta[r_, s_], {s_, 1, p_}, z___] :> Sum[(y /. s -> r), z]

Doesn't work because sum needs at least 2 arguments but z___ can match with nothing. In that case, Sum[(y /. s -> r), z] is a Sum with only 1 argument.

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-...

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...

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...
