interoperability - Clojuratica setup


I am trying to get Clojuratica set up (MMa v 9 free trial) (on a Mac running Mavericks)


I am following the instructions in "Clojure Data Analysis Cookbook" but have also followed the instructions:



I get the error message:


user=> (MathLinkFactory/createKernelLink path)

Fatal error: cannot find the required native library named JLinkNativeLibrary.

UnsatisfiedLinkError com.wolfram.jlink.NativeLink.MLOpenString(Ljava/lang/String;  [Ljava/lang/String;)J  com.wolfram.jlink.NativeLink.MLOpenString (NativeLink.java:-2)

Answer



This is too long to post as a comment, so I will make an answer out of it, even though I am speaking from some degree of ignorance here, neither having Clojuratica nor having taken the time to download and install it. Looking at the installation instructions, and the comments above, however, I think I can see the problem.


The installation instructions tell you to put JLink.jar somewhere in your Java classpath, but JLink.jar also needs to find its native library. It normally does this by looking in a location relative to the location of JLink.jar itself, so if you move JLink.jar alone to a new location, you break this association.


Here are four different ways to make sure that J/Link can find its native library. Use whichever one you like.




  1. Point the Java classpath at the JLink.jar file in the Mathematica layout (/Applications/Mathematica.app/SystemFiles/Links/JLink/JLink.jar).





  2. If for some reason you want to copy JLink.jar out of its location in the Mathematica layout, copy JLink's SystemFiles directory along with it. It should sit alongside the JLink.jar file.




  3. Similar to (2) above, you can put just the native library itself next to JLink.jar, instead of the whole SystemFiles/Libraries/... directory structure. This only works if you only need to support one type of architecture (for example, if you grab the 64-bit library, and Clojuratica runs Java in 32-bit mode, you will get the same error about not finding the library, which can be very confusing).




  4. Define the property com.wolfram.jlink.libdir to point to the directory that contains the SystemFiles/Libraries/... hierarchy. For a typical Java command line on Mac, this would look like:


    java -Dcom.wolfram.jlink.libdir=/Applications/Mathematica.app/SystemFiles/Links/JLink MyMainClass

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...

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...

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]
