How to organize expression by symbols (like Collect), but apply different functions to each coefficient


I want to mimic the functionality of Collect[expr, {vars}, func], but with the following modification: The function f that is applied to each coefficient is different, and depends on which variable it is a coefficient of. The vars are expressions of predetermined known heads (which in the example below are _e, _f, _g, _h).


Example:


expr = -2 x e[x] + x e[y] + x^2 e[x] + y e[x] + y e[y] + x^2 f[x] + y^2 f[x] + x^2 g[x] + y^2 h[x]




  1. I need to collect expr by e[_], f[_], g[_] and h[_].




  2. Apply simpE to the coefficients of e[_], and simpF to the coefficients of f[_], and simpGen to the coefficient of everything else.




  3. This needs to work even when certain terms are absent from expr. e.g. if expr doesn't have any e[_] etc.





My idea (which doesn't work) is to do this in two steps:




  1. First collect the expression:


    Collect[expr, {_f, _e, _g, _h}]


  2. Then replace with the rule that makes the transformation on each coefficient.


    rule = (Plus[
    Optional[Times[exprE_., funcE_e]],

    Optional[Times[exprF_., funcF_f]],
    rest_.]) :>
    (simpE[exprE] funcE + simpF[exprF] funcF + Collect[rest,{_g, _h}, simpRest])


The (not quite correct) result is:


Collect[expr, {_f, _e, _g, _h}] /. rule


e[x] simpE[-2 x + x^2 + y] + f[x] simpF[x^2 + y^2] + g[x] simpRest[x^2] + h[x] simpRest[y^2] + simpRest[(x + y) e[y]]




But this doesn't work because




  1. the rule groups e[y] with the rest of the terms and incorrectly applies simpRest to it (see last term of output), instead of simpE[x+y] e[y].




  2. If certain terms are absent, then the rule doesn't even match. Consider expr2 below which is absent of f[_]:


    expr2 = -2 x e[x] + x^2 e[x] + y e[x] + x e[y] + y e[y] + x^2 g[x] + y^2 h[x] 


    The rule doesn't match:


    Collect[expr, {_f, _e, _g, _h}] /. rule


    (-2 x + x^2 + y) e[x] + (x + y) e[y] + x^2 g[x] + y^2 h[x]





I need help with this particular modification of Collect. Is there a sexy way to get this done?



Answer




Maybe the following. Simplifying a left-over constant term along with the other coefficients seems hard to comprise in a single, simple function.


forms = {_f, _e, _g, _h};
funcs = {simpF, simpE, simpG, simpH};
simpConstant[c_] := simpC[c];
Times[c_simpAll, form_] ^:= (c /. simpAll -> (form /. Thread[forms -> funcs])) form;

Collect[2 + expr, {_f, _e, _g, _h}, simpAll] /. simpAll -> simpConstant
Collect[2 + expr2, {_f, _e, _g, _h}, simpAll] /. simpAll -> simpConstant
Collect[2 + x, {_f, _e, _g, _h}, simpAll] /. simpAll -> simpConstant
(*

simpC[2] + e[y] simpE[x + y] + e[x] simpE[-2 x + x^2 + y] +
f[x] simpF[x^2 + y^2] + g[x] simpG[x^2] + h[x] simpH[y^2]

simpC[2] + e[y] simpE[x + y] + e[x] simpE[-2 x + x^2 + y] +
g[x] simpG[x^2] + h[x] simpH[y^2]

simpC[2 + x]
*)

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[ ...

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...

Is there a way to do conditional matrix loop using 'continue'

I have the following: n = 3; m = 5; ww = RandomReal[{0, 0.1}, {n, n}]; uu = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {m, n}]; pp = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {n, n}]; ss = RandomInteger[{0, 5}, {m, n}]; Grid[{{"ww", "uu", "pp", "ss"}, {ww // TableForm, uu // TableForm, pp // TableForm, ss // TableForm}}, Spacings -> {5, 2}, Dividers -> All] where I would like to look at every element of matrix ss and produce a matrix tt , with zeroes at the locations in ss which have zeroes, and in all other positions do the following: tt = (-1/Subscript[ww, m]) Log[(1 - uu)/(Subscript[pp, m - 1])], where Subscript[ww, m] is the value at index of ww matrix and where Subscript[pp, m - 1] is the value at index-1 of pp matrix. So for example if the first value ever read from matrix ss happens to be 2, then value taken from matrix ww would be from the row 2, but from pp would be from row 1. Also how to tell difference between a 0 as a valid value from within the matrix elemen...
