How to implement this simple product rule in mathematica




Firstly i have defined a simple function below.


   dotPro[a_, b_] := a[1]*b[1] + a[2]*b[2];

Then i create two terms using the above function.


  t1=dotPro[q,σ];
t2=dotPro[ϵ,σ];

Then i have some rules regarding how these parameters multiply


  r1 = Rule[σ[1]^2, 1];
r2 = Rule[σ[2]^2, 1];

r3 = Rule[σ[1] σ[2], I*σ[3]];
r4 =Rule[σ[2] σ[1], -I*σ[3]];

Now i expand the product


  res = Expand[t1*t2]

Finally i apply the said rules to my expanded terms


  res /. r1 /. r2 /. r3 /. r4

The answer i get is the following



 (q[1] ϵ[1] + q[2] ϵ[2] + I q[2] ϵ[1] σ[3] + I q[1] ϵ[2] σ[3])

What i want to get is this(minus sign)


 q[1] ϵ[1] + q[2] ϵ[2] -I q[2] ϵ[1] σ[3] + I q[1] ϵ[2] σ[3]

I know what the problem is,its related to mathematica assuming commutative product.so at the heart it deals with implementing non-commutative algebra.


So i did find a link to a package here but it was not working and i think this simple thing can be achieved without resort to any packages.


All i want is whenever there is a term with σ[1] σ[2] it should be replaced by I*σ[3] and for σ[2] σ[1] it should be replaced by -I*σ[3]


I tried to achieve it like this,but no success


list = {{1, 1}, {1, 2}, {2, 1}, {2, 2}};

t1[[#[[1]]]]*t2[[#[[2]]]] & /@ list /. r1 /. r2 /. r3 /. r4

Answer



The following code is a quick and dirty solution to your request. The basic idea is to avoid using the usual multiplication and use Dot instead.


dotPro[a_, b_] := a[1].b[1] + a[2].b[2];
dotPro[q, σ].dotPro[ε, σ]
Distribute[%]
% /. {Dot[x___, a_, y___, a_, z___] :> Dot[x, y, z]
, Dot[x___, a_[1], y___, a_[2], z___] :> I Dot[x, y, a[3]]
, Dot[x___, a_[2], y___, a_[1], z___] :> -I Dot[x, y, a[3]]}

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

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...

Is there a way to do conditional matrix loop using 'continue'

I have the following: n = 3; m = 5; ww = RandomReal[{0, 0.1}, {n, n}]; uu = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {m, n}]; pp = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {n, n}]; ss = RandomInteger[{0, 5}, {m, n}]; Grid[{{"ww", "uu", "pp", "ss"}, {ww // TableForm, uu // TableForm, pp // TableForm, ss // TableForm}}, Spacings -> {5, 2}, Dividers -> All] where I would like to look at every element of matrix ss and produce a matrix tt , with zeroes at the locations in ss which have zeroes, and in all other positions do the following: tt = (-1/Subscript[ww, m]) Log[(1 - uu)/(Subscript[pp, m - 1])], where Subscript[ww, m] is the value at index of ww matrix and where Subscript[pp, m - 1] is the value at index-1 of pp matrix. So for example if the first value ever read from matrix ss happens to be 2, then value taken from matrix ww would be from the row 2, but from pp would be from row 1. Also how to tell difference between a 0 as a valid value from within the matrix elemen...
