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 $x_{k+1}=x_k-f'(x_k)^{-1}f(x_k)$ up to four terms of error ($e_k=x_k-\alpha$). 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 $$f(x_k)^{-1}=[1-2 \text{c2} e_k+ \left(4 \text{c2}^2-3 \text{c3}\right)e_k^2$$ $$-4 (2 c2^3 - 3 c2 c3 + c4) e_k^3 + (16 c2^4 - 36 c2^2 c3 + 9 c3^2 + 16 c2 c4 - 5 c5) e_k^4]f'({\alpha})^{-1}.$$ But, how to do this for the multi-dimensional case. That is, when the coefficients $c2,c3,c4$, and even $df=f'({\alpha})^{-1}$ are all matrices (note that e.g. $c2=\frac{1}{2!}f'(\alpha)^{-1}f^{(2)}(\alpha)$). By hand, I obtain the following correct results: $$ f(x_k)^{-1}=\left(I-2c2e_k+(4c2^2-3c3)e_k^2+(6c3c2+6c2c3-8c2^3-4c4)e_k^3\\ + (8c4c2+9c3^2+8c2c4-5c5-12c3c2^2-12c2c3c2-12c2^2c3+16c2^4)e_k^4\right)f'(\alpha)^{-1} $$ and \begin{equation} e_{k+1}=x_{k+1}-\alpha=-c2e_k^2+(2c2^2-2c3)e_k^3+(-4c2^3+4c2c3+3c3c2-3c4)e_k^4+\mathcal{O}(e_k^5). \end{equation}


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.

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...
