export - How can I transfer mathematical expressions between Mathematica and Maple?


Is there a simple way to copy mathematical expressions between Mathematica and Maple (or at least in one direction)? I mean only expressions built from numbers and predefined mathematical functions, whithout any patterns or programmatical constructs like Function, Map or Nest.


Ideally, I want functions with different definitions to be automatically adjusted, for example the Mathematica expression EllipticF[Pi/6, 1/4] should be converted to the Maple expression EllipticF(1/2, 1/2).



Answer



I assume you have Maple to use. If so, Simply open Maple and type the Mathematica command itself directly into Maple using the FromMma package built-into Maple, like this:


restart; 
with(MmaTranslator); #load the package
(*[FromMma, FromMmaNotebook, Mma, MmaToMaple]*)


and now can use it


FromMma(`Integrate[Cos[x],x]`);

Mathematica graphics


One can also use Maple convert command with the FromMma option, like this:


convert(`Integrate[Cos[x],x]`, FromMma);

Mathematica graphics


For your example:


FromMma(`EllipticF[Pi/6, 1/4]`);


Mathematica graphics


You can also use a Mathematica computational expression, not just single commands, like this, and then use the resulting Maple command inside Maple:


r:=convert(`Table[i,{i,10}];`, FromMma);
(* r := [seq(i, i = 1 .. 10)] *)

Now run the result in Maple:


r;
(*[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]*)


see http://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=MmaTranslator for information on the MmaTranslator package.


For translating Maple back to Mathematica: The only program I know about that converts Maple to Mathematica is http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/Conferences/5397

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...

How to remap graph properties?

Graph objects support both custom properties, which do not have special meanings, and standard properties, which may be used by some functions. When importing from formats such as GraphML, we usually get a result with custom properties. What is the simplest way to remap one property to another, e.g. to remap a custom property to a standard one so it can be used with various functions? Example: Let's get Zachary's karate club network with edge weights and vertex names from here: http://nexus.igraph.org/api/dataset_info?id=1&format=html g = Import[ "http://nexus.igraph.org/api/dataset?id=1&format=GraphML", {"ZIP", "karate.GraphML"}] I can remap "name" to VertexLabels and "weights" to EdgeWeight like this: sp[prop_][g_] := SetProperty[g, prop] g2 = g // sp[EdgeWeight -> (PropertyValue[{g, #}, "weight"] & /@ EdgeList[g])] // sp[VertexLabels -> (# -> PropertyValue[{g, #}, "name"]...
