plotting - Aborts and beeps without error warning


I have a piece of code that generates a figure, performing a calculation to generate each pixel. At a certain resolution it runs fine, but after a high enough resolution it fails. Mathematica beeps (sounds more line a 'dong') and just stops after a few seconds with no error warnings. How can I run some diagnostics on my code to try and figure out the problem?


I assume it's a memory problem, but when I use the MaxMemoryUsed[] command it was only ~20Mb which doesn't seem that much.


The code is shown below. I adjust the parameter 'res'. Up to res=12 it runs fine but thereafter it fails.


Clear["Global`*"];
startTime = AbsoluteTime[];

f[{rx_, ry_}] :=
Module[{e1, e2, e3, d1, d2, d3, a, b, c, sol1, sol2, data, round,
rArray},
{e1, e2, e3} = # & /@ {{0, -1}, {Sqrt[3]/2, 1/2}, {-Sqrt[3]/2, 1/2}};
If[
Norm[{rx, ry} - e1] <= 1/3 || Norm[{rx, ry} - e2] <= 1/3 ||
Norm[{rx, ry} - e3] <= 1/3,
Null,
{d1, d2, d3} = # - {rx, ry} & /@ {e1, e2, e3};
{a, b, c} = Norm[#]^-3 & /@ {d1, d2, d3};

round = 0.000001;
sol1 =
If[0 <= ((b + c)^2 - a^2)/(4 b c) <= 1, 0,
Re[{x, y} /. Solve[
Round[a b (d2 - d1), round] Sin[{x, y}.(d1 - d2)]
+ Round[b c (d3 - d2), round] Sin[{x, y}.(d2 - d3)]
+ Round[a c (d3 - d1), round] Sin[{x, y}.(d1 - d3)]
== 0, {x, y}]]];
sol2 =
Sqrt[a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2 a b Cos[#.(d1 - d2)] +

2 b c Cos[#.(d2 - d3)] + 2 a c Cos[#.(d1 - d3)]] & /@ sol1;
Min[sol2]
]
]
res = 20;
rArray = Table[{rx, ry}, {rx, -Sqrt[3]/2, Sqrt[3]/2,
Sqrt[3]/res}, {ry, 3/4, -3/4, -3/(2 res)}];
diagram = Map[f, rArray, {2}];
ArrayPlot[diagram, ColorFunction -> "Rainbow",
ColorRules -> {0 -> White, Null -> Gray}]

endTime = AbsoluteTime[] - startTime

Answer



Get this code working


You can get the code running under Mma v9, by adding options to Solve:
Adding


VerifySolutions -> False

should work.
And also


VerifySolutions -> True, WorkingPrecision -> MachinePrecision


works on my PC, if res isn't too big.
For bigger res (tested for 50)


VerifySolutions -> False, WorkingPrecision -> MachinePrecision

will make the code working.




Parallelization


You didn't ask for this, but if you execute


ParallelEvaluate[Off[Solve::ifun]]


before the posted code, the Solve::ifun messages will be switched off.
And replacing Map with ParallelMap:


diagram=ParallelMap[f,rArray,{2}];

will speed up the code significantly, if you have more than one core.

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
