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-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
