numerical integration - Elliptic integrals


In trying to reproduce results from one paper I stumbled upon a problem with definition of some elliptic integrals (this is my guess of what could be the problem).


I will first present in a simplified form what I am trying to calculate, details are in the original paper (PRL 99, 226801, see Google Scholar for PDF)





The goal is to compute the following 2D integral


$$I(k)=-\iint_{\Omega_c}\frac{\mathrm{d}^2\vec q}{4\pi q}\left(1-\cos\theta(\vec k,\vec {k}-\vec {q})\right),$$


where $\theta(\vec a,\vec b)$ is the angle between $\vec a$ and $\vec b$, $q=|\vec q|$. For those who would like to compare with the paper, this is essentially Eq.(2a), where for simplicity I set $e=\kappa=1$, selected the case $s=1$ and substituted all the definitions into one equation.


The integration domain is $\Omega_c: |k|\le k_c$, where $k_c$ is a positive number.


The analytic result is known to be [cf. Eq. (3a)]:


$$I(k)=\tfrac{1}{\pi}k_c\left[h\!\left(k/k_c\right)-f\!\left(k/k_c\right)\right],\quad I(0)=-\tfrac{1}{2}k_c.$$


Assuming, we want to know the result for $k, there are following definitions


$$f(x)=E(x),\quad h(x)=x\left[\tfrac{\pi}{4}\log(4/x)-\tfrac{\pi}{8}\right] -x\int_{0}^x\!\mathrm{d}y\, y^{-3}\left[K(y)-E(y)-\tfrac{\pi}{4}y^2\right].$$ Here $K(x)$ and $E(x)$ are the complete elliptic integral of the first and second kinds, respectively. I do not know, how this integral can be computed, neither by hand or with mathematica...


What is disturbing is that I was not able verify the integral numerically.


In the following, I will first rewrite all the equations in MA language.



i[1]=Integrate[EllipticK[y^2]-EllipticE[y^2],{y,0,1/x},
Assumptions->x>1]
i[2]=Integrate[(EllipticK[y^2]-EllipticE[y^2]-Ï€/4 y^2)/y^3,{y,0,x},
Assumptions->0<=x<=1]
f[x_]=EllipticE[x^2]
h[x_]=x(Ï€/4Log[4/x]-Ï€/8)-x i[2]

Notice, it takes a while to compute i[2]. Now, we will be interested in the $\Delta I(k)=I(k)-I(0)$ function


xi[k_,kc_]:=kc/Ï€(h[k/kc]-f[k/kc])
Δxi[k_,kc_]:=xi[k,kc]+kc/2


Now we define the numerical integral (adding a small cut-off a) transforming it to polar coordinates and assuming $\vec k\parallel \vec e_x$


Δni[k_?NumericQ,kc_?NumericQ,a_?NumericQ]:=1/(4 π) NIntegrate[((k- q Cos[θ])/Sqrt[k^2+q^2-2 k q Cos[θ]]),{q,a,kc},{θ,0,2π},PrecisionGoal->4]

and compare


dataI=Table[{k,Δni[k,30,10^-5]},{k,0.1,2,0.1}]
Plot[Δxi[k,30],{k,0,2},Epilog->{PointSize[Medium],Point[dataI]},PlotRange->{0,2.3}]

enter image description here


The points should exactly fall onto the analytic curve, but they are not... I would be happy with any of the answers:




  1. showing how the integral can be computed analytically with MA starting from the definition (basically confirming that my interpretation of the formula in the paper is correct),

  2. fixing a problem with MA numerics.


Notice, I can easily verify Fig.1 of that paper with MA. But the integral considered here is not plotted there.



Answer



The article "Density Dependent Exchange Contribution to $\partial \mu/\partial n$ and Compressibility in Graphene" by E.H. Hwang,Ben Yu-Kuang Hu, and S. Das Sarma has a typo in the definition of $h$ (there must be a plus before $\frac {\pi}{8}$). After correction, the results match (I wrote down the finished results for the integrals, so as not to waste time every time to calculate them)

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...

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-...
