matrix - How to force Series[] to compute expansions by considering non commutative multiplication?


I wish to compute the Taylor series expansion of the following iteration method xk+1=xk−f′(xk)−1f(xk) up to four terms of error (ek=xk−α). When this is a scalar iteration, I very simply write the following


ClearAll["Global`*"]
f[e_] := df*(e^1 + c2 e^2 + c3 e^3 + c4 e^4 + c5 e^5);
fe = f[e];
f1e = f'[e];

Series[f1e^-1, {e, 0, 4}]*df // Simplify
u = e - Series[fe/f1e, {e, 0, 4}] // Simplify

and obtain correct results f(xk)−1=[1−2c2ek+(4c22−3c3)e2k −4(2c23−3c2c3+c4)e3k+(16c24−36c22c3+9c32+16c2c4−5c5)e4k]f′(α)−1. But, how to do this for the multi-dimensional case. That is, when the coefficients c2,c3,c4, and even df=f′(α)−1 are all matrices (note that e.g. c2=12!f′(α)−1f(2)(α)). By hand, I obtain the following correct results: f(xk)−1=(I−2c2ek+(4c22−3c3)e2k+(6c3c2+6c2c3−8c23−4c4)e3k+(8c4c2+9c32+8c2c4−5c5−12c3c22−12c2c3c2−12c22c3+16c24)e4k)f′(α)−1 and ek+1=xk+1−α=−c2e2k+(2c22−2c3)e3k+(−4c23+4c2c3+3c3c2−3c4)e4k+O(e5k).


So, my question is how to handle this non-commutative multiplication inside Series[] (e.g. c2c3 is not equal to c3c2 in this case)? I also tried to apply ∗∗, but I failed. Any suggestions or tricks to solve this problem will be appreciated fully.


I also saw the following posts in MathematicaStackExchange, but they were not useful for this problem, How to make noncommutative multiplication agree with commutative multiplication and Noncommutative multiply- expand expression.

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...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
