list manipulation - How to use Map inside MapThread?


Given this input



lst1 = {{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}};
lst2 = {1, 2};

and the goal is to generate this output


{  {{1, a}, {1, b}, {1, c}}, 
   {{2, d}, {2, e}, {2, f}}
}

Perfect candidate for MapThread So I made this diagram first to figure what the function I want to map should be


enter image description here



So the function to use inside MapThread, needs to also use Map itself (in order to map each item into the other list). So I came up with this:


lst1 = {{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}};
lst2 = {1, 2};
foo[i_, lst_List] := List[i, #] & /@ lst
MapThread[foo[#1, #2] &, {Range[Length@lst2], lst1}]
(*  {  {{1,a}, {1,b}, {1,c}},       {{2,d}, {2,e}, {2,f}}   }  *)

Now here is the question: Is there a way to do the above without having to define an explicit function but using pure function inside MapThread?


I was getting conflict with # mapping. This is sort of the thing I was trying to do, but can't get the syntax right


(*invalid, for illustration only *)

MapThread[ 
 Function[{idx, lst},List[idx, #] & /@ lst] &  ?? ??    ,{Range[Length@lst2],lst1}]

Or if you know of a better approach to do this, that will be fine as well.



Answer



MapThread[Thread[{##}] &, {lst2, lst1}] 

Map[Thread, {lst2, lst1}\[Transpose]]

## is used so Thread gets called like Thread[{1, {a, b, c}}] As MapThread gives two arguments in this case it is equivalent to Thread[{#1, #2}]& and Composition[Thread, List]

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"]...
