bugs - Taylor expansion of a function containing QPochhammer[q, q, n]


I want to get the following series expansion:


Series[QPochhammer[q, q, 3], {q, 0,4}]


but in Mathematica 11.0, I obtain the following gibberish:


bad output


There weren't any problems of this kind in Mathematica 8.0.


The following example with the infinite product


Series[QPochhammer[q, q], {q, 0, 4}]

works perfectly fine, producing the series


good result


Documentation regarding QPochhammer can be found here.




Q: What causes this problem with finite products and how to avoid it?




Answer



The reason it doesn't work is because somewhere between v10.0 and v10.3, the seventh definition of QPochhammer was modified to check that the second argument does not depend on the expansion parameter.


To restore previous behavior, clear the seventh definition,


(*Triggers loading of definitions*)
Series[QPochhammer[0, x, 3], {x, 0, 1}];

(*Unprotect*)
Unprotect[QPochhammer];


QPochhammer /: 
 System`Private`InternalSeries[
   HoldPattern[QPochhammer][System`SeriesDump`w_, 
    System`SeriesDump`q_, 
    System`SeriesDump`k_Integer?Positive], {System`SeriesDump`z_, 
    System`SeriesDump`p_, System`SeriesDump`n_Integer}] /; 
 Internal`DependsOnQ[System`SeriesDump`w, System`SeriesDump`z] && ! 
    Internal`DependsOnQ[{System`SeriesDump`q, System`SeriesDump`p}, 
    System`SeriesDump`z] =.


Then add the definition from earlier versions,


QPochhammer /: 
 System`Private`InternalSeries[
   HoldPattern[QPochhammer][System`SeriesDump`w_, 
    System`SeriesDump`q_, 
    System`SeriesDump`k_Integer?Positive], {System`SeriesDump`z_, 
    System`SeriesDump`p_, System`SeriesDump`n_Integer}] /; 
  Internal`DependsOnQ[System`SeriesDump`w, System`SeriesDump`z] := 
 Module[{System`SeriesDump`lim, System`SeriesDump`ord, 

   System`SeriesDump`qq, System`SeriesDump`ww}, 
  System`SeriesDump`lim = 
   System`SeriesDump`getExpansionPoint[System`SeriesDump`w, 
    System`SeriesDump`z, 
    System`SeriesDump`p]; (System`SeriesDump`ord = 
     Min[System`SeriesDump`k, 
      System`SeriesDump`AdjustExpansionOrder[System`SeriesDump`w, 
       System`SeriesDump`lim, System`SeriesDump`z, 
       System`SeriesDump`p, System`SeriesDump`n]]; 
    System`SeriesDump`ww = 

     System`Private`InternalSeries[
      System`SeriesDump`w, {System`SeriesDump`z, System`SeriesDump`p, 
       System`SeriesDump`n}]; 
    System`SeriesDump`qq = 
     System`Private`InternalSeries[
      System`SeriesDump`q, {System`SeriesDump`z, System`SeriesDump`p, 
       System`SeriesDump`n}]; 
    1 + Plus @@ 
      Table[(-System`SeriesDump`ww)^
        System`SeriesDump`m System`SeriesDump`qq^

        Binomial[System`SeriesDump`m, 2] QBinomial[
         System`SeriesDump`k, System`SeriesDump`m, 
         System`SeriesDump`qq], {System`SeriesDump`m, 
        System`SeriesDump`ord}]) /; System`SeriesDump`lim === 0];

Protect[QPochhammer];

Now we get the desired behavior,


Series[QPochhammer[q, q, 3], {q, 0, 4}]



Desired result



Warning The seventh definition was modified in later releases probably because someone discovered that it leads to incorrect results in some cases. Proceed with caution.

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}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
