output formatting - is it possible to change/customize some conversions done by TeXForm?


I use TeXForm to convert output of some computation to Latex. I'd like to ask if there is a way to override/change/customize some of these conversions, related to just the name Mathematica assigns to some special functions in its Latex output, since it is not clear what they are in the Latex after the conversion.


Here is an example. FresnelC function is changed to C in Latex. So someone reading the latex PDF, will not really know what C is and I like to keep the name as FresnelC. I suppose I could add note saying that C is FresnelC, but this is all automated, and I do not know before hand that the solution being generated even has FresnelC in it to make the note. I just look at the final Latex output.


MWE


sol = y[t] /. First@DSolve[y'[t] + y[t] Sqrt[t] Sin[t] == 0, y[t], t]


Mathematica graphics


But the Latex output is


TeXForm[sol]
(* c_1 e^{\sqrt{t} \cos (t)-\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}}
C\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }} \sqrt{t}\right)} *)

Which is rendered as


$$c_1 e^{\sqrt{t} \cos (t)-\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}} C\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }} \sqrt{t}\right)}$$


I'd like it to still show as the full name FresnelC


$$c_1 e^{\sqrt{t} \cos (t)-\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}} \text{FresnelC}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }} \sqrt{t}\right)}$$



So it is more clear. This is how Maple does it also:


Mathematica graphics


This does not only affect the above function, but others as well. For example


 TeXForm[CosIntegral[x]]

gives


$$\text{Ci}(x)$$ and I'd like to keep the same in the Latex as the name in the Mathematica command.


$$\text{CosIntegral}(x)$$


Since it is more clear.


Question is: Is there a way to customize some of these conversions?




Answer



You could use my TeXUtilities package:


Import@"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jkuczm/MathematicaTeXUtilities/master/NoInstall.m"

Unprotect[FresnelC, CosIntegral];
Format[FresnelC@x_, TeXForm] := TeXVerbatim["\\operatorname{FresnelC}"]@x
Format[CosIntegral@x_, TeXForm] := TeXVerbatim["\\operatorname{CosIntegral}"]@x
(* Move TeXForm format to begining of FormatValues so they take precedence over existing ones. *)
(FormatValues@# = Join[#@False, #@True]&@GroupBy[FormatValues@#, FreeQ@TeXForm]) & /@ {FresnelC, CosIntegral};
Protect[FresnelC, CosIntegral];


Now use TeXForm as usual:


y[t] /. First@DSolve[y'[t] + y[t] Sqrt[t] Sin[t] == 0, y[t], t] // TeXForm
(* c_1 e^{\sqrt{t} \cos (t)-\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}} \operatorname{FresnelC}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }} \sqrt{t}\right)} *)


$c_1 e^{\sqrt{t} \cos (t)-\sqrt{\frac{\pi }{2}} \operatorname{FresnelC}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi }} \sqrt{t}\right)}$



CosIntegral[x] // TeXForm
(* \operatorname{CosIntegral}(x) *)



$\operatorname{CosIntegral}(x)$

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[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

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...
