mesh - How discretize a region placing vertices on a specific non-uniform grid


Given a generic region, for example:


Ω = 
ImplicitRegion[
2 x^2 + 3 y^2 + 2 x y - 2 <= 0 ∧ x^2 + y^2 > .1, {x, y}];

and a non-uniform grid, for example:


Ωb = RegionBounds[Ω];
{xg, yg} =

N@Map[bound \[Function]
Range[bound[[1]],
bound[[2]], (bound[[2]] - bound[[1]])/20], Ωb];
{xg, yg} =
Map[g \[Function] {g[[1]],
Sequence @@ (g[[2 ;; -2]] RandomReal[{1 - .04, 1 + .04},
Length[g] - 2]), g[[-1]]}, {xg, yg}];

which, together, can be shown with:


Ωg = 

RegionPlot[Ω, AspectRatio -> Automatic];

gg = Graphics[{LightGray,
Table[
Line[{{x, Ωb[[2, 1]]}, {x, Ωb[[2,
2]]}}], {x, xg}],
Table[
Line[{{Ωb[[1, 1]], y}, {Ωb[[1, 2]],
y}}], {y, yg}]
}];


Show[gg, Ωg]

Mathematica graphics


I'm searching a way to discretize the region to a MeshRegion or ElementMesh in such a way that all vertices (MeshCoordinates or incidents) are placed on at least one gridline.


At present I'm working on a routine that discretize the region with BoundaryDiscretizeRegion with a reasonable MaxCellMeasure. Then I'm trying to split all Line mesh cells crossing any gridline into two or more Line such that at least one end is on a gridline. Then I plan to delete vertices not on a grid line and properly reconnect the sourronding vertices.


Mathematica graphics


This is the only way I could think to, but it appear difficult, because there are many branches tho examine.


A more elegant and simple approach would be helpful. For example, there is a way to use ToElementMesh and ToBoundaryMesh to accomplish this task? In the end, the routine should work with thousand of vertices and hundred of gridlines in a reasonable time.

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-...

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...
