compile - Catching error in middle of evaluation of compiled function



I have programmed and Compileed a complicated numerical function. The function has singularities (i.e. are infinite) at certain input numerical values. I need to catch this problem in the middle of the evaluation and return a more meaningful Message to the user than the default CompiledFunction::cfne.


I can't quite understand the answer to This Question. Would someone help me the following concrete example?


f = Compile[{{x, _Real}, {y, _Real}}, 
Log[(x - y^2 - 2. x)^2]/(y x^2 - 2 (x + y) - y^2 + 3.)]

For certain values, there are singularities:


f[-196, 14]


CompiledFunction::cfn:

Numerical error encountered at instruction 7; proceeding with uncompiled evaluation



and also


f[1.5, 0]


CompiledFunction::cfne:
Numerical error encountered; proceeding with uncompiled evaluation.

Power::infy: Infinite expression 1/0. encountered.



I would like to trump these default error messages with my own. Is it possible to do this without compromising the speed of the evaluation??



I feel that using a giant If statement such as:


funcForUser::msg = "Singular point.";
funcForUser[x_, y_] := If[x != y^2, f[x, y], Message[funcForUser::msg]; Undefined]

is a very ugly way to solve the problem. And I also don't have the patience to track down all possible conditions that lead to singularities.



Answer



How about using "RuntimeErrorHandler":


f = Compile[{{x, _Real}, {y, _Real}}, 
Log[(x - y^2 - 2. x)^2]/(y x^2 - 2 (x + y) - y^2 + 3.),
"RuntimeOptions" -> {"RuntimeErrorHandler" -> Function[Throw[$Failed]]}

];

Catch[Quiet@f[-196, 15]] // AbsoluteTiming
(* {0.000019, 0.0000116843} *)

Catch[Quiet@f[-196, 14]] // AbsoluteTiming
(* {0.000051, $Failed} *)

Edit


We can even have specific messages too:



(* Copying Ted Ersek's messages *)
f::log="The expression f[`1`,`2`] lead to Log[0.0] which evaluates to -\[Infinity].";
f::div="The expression f[`1`,`2`] lead to division by zero which evaluates to ComplexInfinity.";

f = Compile[{{x, _Real}, {y, _Real}},
Log[(x - y^2 - 2. x)^2]/(y x^2 - 2 (x + y) - y^2 + 3.),
"RuntimeOptions" -> {"RuntimeErrorHandler" -> Function[{x,y},
Which[x-y^2-2. x==0,
Message[f::log,x,y];
-\[Infinity],

y x^2-2 (x+y)-y^2+3.==0,
Message[f::div,x,y];
ComplexInfinity,
True,
Indeterminate
]
]}
];

f[-196, 14]

CompiledFunction::cfn: Numerical error encountered at instruction 7; proceeding with uncompiled evaluation. >>
f::log: The expression f[-196,14] lead to Log[0.0] which evaluates to -\[Infinity].
(* -\[Infinity] *)

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...

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-...
