SameTest using in summation over a list

I have a list

list00 =
{ E^(-0.6830132/t), E^(-0.6830131/t), E^(-0.6830134/t), E^(-0.68301335/t),  
  E^(-0.18301321/t),E^(-0.18301341/t), E^(-0.1830133/t) , E^(0.183013/t), 
  E^(0.1830132/t) ,E^(0.6830132/t)};

Actually I want to have a summation result as:4E^(-0.683013/t)+3E^(-0.183013/t)+2E^(0.183013/t)+E^(0.683013/t)

In fact the numbers are in another list

list =
 {-0.6830132, -0.6830131, -0.6830134,-0.68301335,  
 -0.18301321, -0.18301341, -0.1830133 , 0.183013, 0.1830132 ,0.6830132};

I have used of Sum[E^(list[[k]]/t),{k,Length[list]})]

Answer

You can just round the result, and then they are the same number.

Total[E^(Round[list, 10.^-6]/t)]
(* 4 E^(-0.683013/t) + 3 E^(-0.183013/t) + 
 2 E^(0.183013/t) + E^(0.683013/t) *)

The Exp and Round function are listable, so you don't need an explicit call to Sum. But if you wanted one,

Sum[ E^(Round[list[[k]], 10.^-6]/t), {k, Length[list]}]

Edit You can also use SetPrecision

Total@Exp[ SetPrecision[list, 6]/t] 

(* 4 E^(-0.683013/t) + 3 E^(-0.183013/t) + 
 2 E^(0.183013/t) + E^(0.683013/t) *)

But I don't see an equivalent to SameTest for Plus

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...

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...

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...
