Computing kernels of a matrix in distinct cases


I have the following matrix:


{{c1 d1 - e1 f1, c1 d2 - e1 f2, c1 d3 - e1 f3, c1 d4 - e1 f4},
 {c2 d1 - e2 f1, c2 d2 - e2 f2, c2 d3 - e2 f3, c2 d4 - e2 f4},
 {c3 d1 - e3 f1, c3 d2 - e3 f2, c3 d3 - e3 f3, c3 d4 - e3 f4},

 {c4 d1 - e4 f1, c4 d2 - e4 f2, c4 d3 - e4 f3, c4 d4 - e4 f4},
 {c5 d1 - e5 f1, c5 d2 - e5 f2, c5 d3 - e5 f3, c5 d4 - e5 f4},
 {c6 d1 - e6 f1, c6 d2 - e6 f2, c6 d3 - e6 f3, c6 d4 - e6 f4}}

From the way it's constructed, I know that the rank can be at most two. If I ask Mathematica to row reduce the matrix, I end up with the following:


{{1, 0, (d3 f2 - d2 f3)/(-d2 f1 + d1 f2), (d4 f2 - d2 f4)/(-d2 f1 + d1 f2)},   
 {0, 1, (d3 f1 - d1 f3)/(d2 f1 - d1 f2), (d4 f1 - d1 f4)/(d2 f1 - d1 f2)},
 {0, 0, 0, 0},
 {0, 0, 0, 0},
 {0, 0, 0, 0},

 {0, 0, 0, 0}}

As can be seen, this is only valid when d1f2≠d2f1. Furthermore, if I look at the left kernel, then Mathematica gives me the following basis:


{{-((-c6 e2 + c2 e6)/(c2 e1 - c1 e2)), -((c6 e1 - c1 e6)/(c2 e1 - c1 e2)), 0, 0, 0, 1},
 {-((-c5 e2 + c2 e5)/(c2 e1 - c1 e2)), -((c5 e1 - c1 e5)/(c2 e1 - c1 e2)), 0, 0, 1, 0},
 {-((-c4 e2 + c2 e4)/(c2 e1 - c1 e2)), -((c4 e1 - c1 e4)/(c2 e1 - c1 e2)), 0, 1, 0, 0},
 {-((-c3 e2 + c2 e3)/(c2 e1 - c1 e2)), -((c3 e1 - c1 e3)/(c2 e1 - c1 e2)), 1, 0, 0, 0}}

Again, this basis is only valid when c1e2≠c2e1. I need to find a basis in the case that c1e2=c2e1 and a row reduction when d1f2=d2f1. How can this be done?



Answer




You can use the option ZeroTest as follows:


mat = {{c1 d1 - e1 f1, c1 d2 - e1 f2, c1 d3 - e1 f3, c1 d4 - e1 f4},
       {c2 d1 - e2 f1, c2 d2 - e2 f2, c2 d3 - e2 f3, c2 d4 - e2 f4}, 
       {c3 d1 - e3 f1, c3 d2 - e3 f2, c3 d3 - e3 f3, c3 d4 - e3 f4},
       {c4 d1 - e4 f1, c4 d2 - e4 f2, c4 d3 - e4 f3, c4 d4 - e4 f4}, 
       {c5 d1 - e5 f1, c5 d2 - e5 f2, c5 d3 - e5 f3, c5 d4 - e5 f4}, 
       {c6 d1 - e6 f1, c6 d2 - e6 f2, c6 d3 - e6 f3, c6 d4 - e6 f4}};

RowReduce[mat, ZeroTest -> 
    (PossibleZeroQ[Simplify[#, Assumptions -> {-d2 f1 + d1 f2 == 0}]] &)]//Short[#, 5] &



enter image description here



Similarly,


RowReduce[Transpose@mat, ZeroTest ->
         (PossibleZeroQ[Simplify[#, Assumptions->{c2 e1 - c1 e2 == 0}]] &)]//Short[#, 5] &


enter image description here

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}]
