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] *)

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...
