plotting - changing line style from solid to dashed after an intersection


I used this link: Plot that draws a dashed/solid curve depending on the y-value of the curve to help me start this. I have two lines. I want to change from solid to dashed after an intersection. The line with higher slope will have dashed line AFTER the intersection and the line with lower slope will have dashed line BEFORE the intersection. These two lines should be red and blue.



Here is what I have done so far...


In[289]:= y1 = 1.44; y2 = 27.9 - 16000 x;
intercept = x /. Solve[y1 == y2, x][[1]]

Out[290]= 0.00165375

The plot...


Plot[{y1, y2}, {x, .0014, .0019}, PlotRange -> All, 
 MeshFunctions -> {#1 &}, 
 Mesh -> {{0.0014, intercept}, {intercept, 0.0019}}, 

 MeshShading -> {Blue, Directive[Blue, Dashed]}, MeshStyle -> None]

Here was the result...

Not sure how to fix this. Please help me.



Answer



If you're not wed to Mesh, it might be easier for you to accomplish what you're looking for with just having multiple functions, ala:


Plot[{ If[intercept > x, y1, None], If[intercept < x, y1, None],
    If[intercept > x, y2, None], If[intercept < x, y2, None]} // 
  Evaluate, {x, .0014, .0019}, PlotRange -> All, 

 PlotStyle -> {{Blue, Dashed}, {Blue}, {Red}, {Red, Dashed}}, 
 Axes -> False, Frame -> True, 
 Epilog -> {PointSize[1/40], Gray, Point[{intercept, y1}]}]

yielding

(if you hate the dot get rid of the epilog)



Update riffing off your previous question re: Callouts, can combine as, e.g.


{f1, f2, f3, f4} = { If[intercept > x, y1, None], 

   If[intercept < x, y1, None],
    If[intercept > x, y2, None], If[intercept < x, y2, None]};

xRange = {.0014, .0019}; yRange = {-3, 8};

Plot[ {Callout[f1, "labelY1", {0.001775`, 3.64`}, {0.00174`, 1.754`}],
    f2, f3, 
   Callout[f4, "labelY2", {0.001525`, 5.7`}, {0.00156`, 3.3142`}]} // 
  Evaluate, Prepend[x][xRange], 
 PlotStyle -> {{Blue, Dashed}, {Blue}, {Red}, {Red, Dashed}}, 

 PlotRange -> yRange, Axes -> False, Frame -> True]

yielding:

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...

How to remap graph properties?

Graph objects support both custom properties, which do not have special meanings, and standard properties, which may be used by some functions. When importing from formats such as GraphML, we usually get a result with custom properties. What is the simplest way to remap one property to another, e.g. to remap a custom property to a standard one so it can be used with various functions? Example: Let's get Zachary's karate club network with edge weights and vertex names from here: http://nexus.igraph.org/api/dataset_info?id=1&format=html g = Import[ "http://nexus.igraph.org/api/dataset?id=1&format=GraphML", {"ZIP", "karate.GraphML"}] I can remap "name" to VertexLabels and "weights" to EdgeWeight like this: sp[prop_][g_] := SetProperty[g, prop] g2 = g // sp[EdgeWeight -> (PropertyValue[{g, #}, "weight"] & /@ EdgeList[g])] // sp[VertexLabels -> (# -> PropertyValue[{g, #}, "name"]...
