numerical integration - How to obtain the area enclosed by such a curve?


The desired curve is defined as curve02 below :


ClearAll["Global`*"];

R = 48.78;
r = 8.13;
z1 = R/r;
z2 = 1 - z1;
e = 7.05;
f = r/e;
re = 12.6;
θ = ArcTan[Sin[z1 τ]/(f + Cos[z1 τ])] - τ;
φ = ArcSin[f Sin[θ + τ]] - θ;
ψ = z1/(z1 - 1) φ;

curve01 = {(R - r) Sin[Ï„] + e Sin[z2 Ï„] -
re Sin[θ], (R - r) Cos[τ] - e Cos[z2 τ] +
re Cos[θ]} // FullSimplify;
curve02 = {curve01[[1]] Cos[φ - ψ] -
curve01[[2]] Sin[φ - ψ] - e Sin[ψ],
curve01[[1]] Sin[φ - ψ] +
curve01[[2]] Cos[φ - ψ] - e Cos[ψ]} //
Simplify;
ParametricPlot[Evaluate[curve02], {τ, 0, 5 π},
Exclusions -> None, MaxRecursion -> 15, PlotPoints -> 1000]


which can be visualized as:

How to obtain the area of its enclosed region? update


Green's theorem can solve another similar problem with high accuracy but does not suit this one, below is an example:


I tried to rewrite your original curve as below, just in order to make sure the derivatives of the parametric form can be obtained by Mathematica by avoiding Abs or Sign:


ncurve={(Cos[t]^2 )^(1/4),(Sin[t]^2)^(1/4)}

Then the numerical result of the closed area can be obtained by applying Green's theorem:


4*Quiet@NIntegrate[ncurve[[1]] D[ncurve[[2]], t], {t, 0, Pi/2}] // 

NumberForm[#, 15] &

which gives:



3.708149351621483




Answer



Do you wan the entire area enclosed by the outer envelope? A bit brute force, but note the 10-fold symmetry, so that only two arc segments define the outer boundary:


base = Line@Table[ curve02, {\[Tau], 0, 5 Pi, Pi/1000}];
r1 = FindRoot[ (curve02 /. \[Tau] -> x) == (curve02 /. \[Tau] ->

y), {x, .5}, {y, 5.5}];
p1 = y /. FindRoot[ (ArcTan @@ (curve02 /. \[Tau] -> y)) ==
3 Pi/ 10 , {y, .55}]
top = x /. FindRoot[ curve02[[1]] /. \[Tau] -> x , {x, 5}];
arc = Join[Table[ curve02 , {\[Tau], top, y /. r1 , .0001}],
Table[ curve02 , {\[Tau], x /. r1, p1 , .0001}]];
Graphics[{base, {Red,
Line[{curve02 /. \[Tau] -> top, {0, 0}, curve02 /. \[Tau] -> p1}],
Line@arc }}]


enter image description here


now the area of the polygon slice: ( by 10 gives the total ) (https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/a/22587/2079 )


PolygonSignedArea[pts_?MatrixQ] := Total[Det /@ Partition[pts, 2, 1, 1]]/2;
area = 10 PolygonSignedArea[Reverse@Join[{{0, 0}}, arc]]


7936.86



as noted in the comments, if we set the increment to 10^-6 this converges to the more sophisticated NIntegrate result of 7945.5

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...

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]
