performance tuning - How to avoid repetitive calculation when doing numerical integral?


Suppose I have a function f[x] which is very complicated, together with a function g[f[x]]+h[x] to integrate. That is:


NIntegrate[{f[x], g[f[x]]+h[x]}, {x,0,1}]

I suppose mathematica will calculate f[x] and g[f[x]]+h[x] seperately, thus calculated f[x] twice. How can I speed up the calculation by telling mathematica calculate f[x] only once?


A concrete example suggested by the comments:


ClearAll["Global`*"]

f[x_, y_, z_] := Exp[Sin[x]] + Cos[y + z];


NIntegrate[{f[x, y, z], Sqrt[f[x, y, z]] + x}, {x, 0, 10}, {y, 0, 10}, {z, 0, 10},
Method -> {"LocalAdaptive", "SymbolicProcessing" -> 0},
PrecisionGoal -> 7] // Timing


{8.85938, {1429.54, 6081.95 + 59.0571 I}}



g[x_, y_, z_] := g[x, y, z] = Exp[Sin[x]] + Cos[y + z];

NIntegrate[{g[x, y, z], Sqrt[g[x, y, z]] + x}, {x, 0, 10}, {y, 0, 10}, {z, 0, 10},

Method -> {"LocalAdaptive", "SymbolicProcessing" -> 0},
PrecisionGoal -> 7] // Timing


{8.90625, {1429.54, 6081.95 + 59.0571 I}}



In this example the memoization seems not speed up the calcuation...

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

plotting - Magnifying Glass on a Plot

Although there is a trick in TEX magnifying glass but I want to know is there any function to magnifying glass on a plot with Mathematica ? For example for a function as Sin[x] and at x=Pi/6 Below, this is just a picture desired from the cited site. the image got huge unfortunately I don't know how can I change the size of an image here! Answer Insetting a magnified part of the original Plot A) by adding a new Plot of the specified range xPos = Pi/6; range = 0.2; f = Sin; xyMinMax = {{xPos - range, xPos + range}, {f[xPos] - range*GoldenRatio^-1, f[xPos] + range*GoldenRatio^-1}}; Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 5}, Epilog -> {Transparent, EdgeForm[Thick], Rectangle[Sequence @@ Transpose[xyMinMax]], Inset[Plot[f[x], {x, xPos - range, xPos + range}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> xyMinMax, ImageSize -> 270], {4., 0.5}]}, ImageSize -> 700] B) by adding a new Plot within a Circle mf = RegionMember[Disk[{xPos, f[xPos]}, {range, range/GoldenRatio}]] Show...
