Plotting results of NIntegrate with variable integration limit


I have tried to use NIntegrate with variable limits and compute the following


(*parameters*)
Ωm = 1.0;
ΩΛ = 0.0;
Ωk =
1 - Ωm - ΩΛ;

(*Integral with variable limits*)
A[a_?NumericQ] := (5 Ωm)/

2 ((Ωm a^-3 + ΩΛ + \
Ωk a^-2)^(1/2)) NIntegrate[
1/(x (Ωm x^-3 + ΩΛ + \
Ωk x^-2)^(1/2))^3, {x, 10^-7, a}];

(*plotting data giving values to `a`*)
Plot2 = ListLinePlot[A[a], {a, 0.1, 1}, PlotRange -> {0, 1},
AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}]

I supposed that A[a] was "free" until ListLinePlot give values to a, but no.



Another problem is that NIntegrate is not working here, the plot at the end looks like y=x.



Answer



You are almost there. You only missed to create the list that you want to plot. Here are your definitions:


  (*parameters*)
Ωm = 1.0;
ΩΛ = 0.0;
Ωk =
1 - Ωm - ΩΛ;

(*Integral with variable limits*)

A[a_?NumericQ] := (5 Ωm)/
2 ((Ωm a^-3 + ΩΛ + \
Ωk a^-2)^(1/2)) NIntegrate[
1/(x (Ωm x^-3 + ΩΛ + \
Ωk x^-2)^(1/2))^3, {x, 10^-7, a}];

Here is the list with the structure {a, int}:


  lst = Table[{a, A[a]}, {a, 0.1, 1, 0.05}]

and then one should plot the list, rather than the function:



 Plot2 = ListLinePlot[lst, PlotRange -> {0, 1}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}]

which returns the image below:


enter image description here


You could also do it as follows skipping the list stage:


Plot[A[a], {a, 0.1, 1}, PlotRange -> {0, 1}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0}]

The returned image is identical to the one above.


Have fun!

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-...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
