calculus and analysis - Multiple integrals where the number of integrals is aribtrary


I know that I can do, say, a triple integral such as $$\int_{a_x}^{b_x}\int_{a_y}^{b_y}\int_{a_z}^{b_z}f(x,y,z)\,dz\,dy\,dx$$ with the input Integrate[f[x,y,z],{x,ax,bx},{y,ay,by},{z,az,bz}].





Now, however, I would like to do a multiple integral of the form $$\int_{a_1}^{b_1}\cdots\int_{a_n}^{b_n}f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\,dx_n\,\ldots\,dx_1$$ for some $n$ that I specify. Is there a concise functional way to input this into Mathematica, or is the only way to manually type the full Integrate[f[x1,...,xn],{x1,a1,b1},...,{xn,an,bn}]. command?



Answer



Here is another way:


multi[f_, x_, a_, b_, n_] := 
Inactive@Integrate @@ {f @@ Array[x[#] &, {n}]}~Join~Array[{x[#], a[#], b[#]} &, {n}]

I used Inactive because I don't know if the purpose is purely typesetting, or if you want it to try to evaluate (if so remove it, or use Activate later).


multi[g, y, ymin, ymax, 10]
(* Inactive[Integrate][
g[y[1], y[2], y[3], y[4], y[5], y[6], y[7], y[8], y[9],

y[10]], {y[1], ymin[1], ymax[1]}, {y[2], ymin[2], ymax[2]}, {y[3],
ymin[3], ymax[3]}, {y[4], ymin[4], ymax[4]}, {y[5], ymin[5],
ymax[5]}, {y[6], ymin[6], ymax[6]}, {y[7], ymin[7], ymax[7]}, {y[8],
ymin[8], ymax[8]}, {y[9], ymin[9], ymax[9]}, {y[10], ymin[10],
ymax[10]}] *)

perhaps a screenshot here is better:

If its just for typesetting then you can swap subscripts into it as follows:

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-...

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...
