output formatting - How to build a function object like the built-ins such as Interpolation?


There are many built-in functions that return a function object, such as Interpolation[], BSplineFunction[] ,LinearSolveFunction[] and so on.

Now given that I want to build a function called CAGDBSplineFunction[] like the built-in BSplineFunction[] with the help of Cox-DeBoor algorithm.


First trial, please see here


To achieve the dynamic effect and check the validity of the option like the built-in BSplineFunction


enter image description here


I refactored it as below:



CAGDBSplineFunction::invknots = 
"Value of option SplineKnots \[Rule] `1` should be a non-decreasing \
real sequence of length `2`, or a symbol Automatic.";

Options[CAGDBSplineFunction] =
{SplineDegree -> Automatic, SplineKnots -> Automatic};

CAGDBSplineFunction /:
MakeBoxes[CAGDBSplineFunction[pts_, opts : OptionsPattern[]], _] :=
Module[{n, sk, sd, range},

n = Length@pts - 1;
sk = OptionValue[SplineKnots];
sd = OptionValue[SplineDegree];
(*check the validity of the option SplineKnots*)
If[sk =!= Automatic,
If[n + 1 + sd != Length[sk] - 1,
Message[CAGDBSplineFunction::invknots, sk, n + 2 + sd];
Return[$Failed]];
range = Through[{First, Last}@sk],
range = {0, 1}

]
]
InterpretationBox[
RowBox[{"CAGDBSplineFunction", "[", "{", #1, ",", #2, "}", ",",
"\"<>\"", "]"}], CAGDBSplineFunction[pts, opts]] & @@ range
]

TEST


pts = {{0, 0}, {1, 1}, {2, -1}, {3, 0}, {4, -2}, {5, 1}};
f = CAGDBSplineFunction[pts]


enter image description here


However, it seems that the option value cannot be achieved in a MakeBoxes construct.


J.M. gives me the following suggestion:



Don't try to do both display and processing at once. Set a definition for evaluating CAGDBSplineFunction[], and then set a definition for displaying, via MakeBoxes



According to the J.M.'s hint, I add the defintion to CAGDBSplineFunction[]


CAGDBSplineFunction /: 
MakeBoxes[CAGDBSplineFunction[pts_, opts : OptionsPattern[]], _] :=

InterpretationBox[
RowBox[{"CAGDBSplineFunction", "[", "{", #1, ",", #2, "}", ",",
"\"<>\"", "]"}], CAGDBSplineFunction[pts, opts]] & @@
CAGDBSplineFunction[pts, opts]

CAGDBSplineFunction[pts_, opts : OptionsPattern[]] :=
Module[
{n, sk, sd, range},
n = Length@pts - 1;
sk = OptionValue[SplineKnots];

sd = OptionValue[SplineDegree] /. Automatic -> 3;
(*check the validity of the option SplineKnots*)
If[sk =!= Automatic,
If[n + 1 + sd != Length[sk] - 1,
Message[CAGDBSplineFunction::invknots, sk, n + 2 + sd];
Return[$Failed]];
range = Through[{First, Last}@sk],
range = {0, 1}
]
]

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[ ...

calculus and analysis - Integral of the Sinc product

Let us consider the following integral $$ B_n = \int_0^\infty \prod_{k=1,3,5,\dots}^n\frac{\sin (x/k)}{x/k}dx $$ By definition, Sinc[x] == Sin[x]/x , therefore B[n_?OddQ] := Integrate[Product[Sinc[x/k], {k, 1, n, 2}], {x, 0, Infinity}] B /@ Range[1, 13, 2] {Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2, Pi/2} OK, everything is fine. But... B[15] 467807924713440738696537864469 Pi/935615849440640907310521750000 What's going on? Answer As Eckhard wrote in comments B[n] is the n-th Borwein integral . (The letter B was not accidental :) ) This funny properties of Borwein integrals is related to the Fourier transform of Sinc function FourierTransform[Sinc[x], x, k] 1/2 Sqrt[Pi/2] (Sign[1 - k] + Sign[1 + k]) Plot[%, {k, -2, 2}, Filling -> 0] which is the box function. The result is $\pi/2$ while the sum $$ 1/3+1/5+\dots+1/n $$ B_n = \frac{\pi}{2} - \pi \bigg(\sum_{k=3,5,\ldots}^n\frac{1}{k} -1\biggr)^\frac{n-1}{2}\prod_{k=3,5,\dots}^n\frac{k}{k-1}. $$ For $n=15$ it is equal to $$ \frac{46780...

list manipulation - Selecting multiple columns from a matrix?

Sample data: data = { {{2013, 1, 1}, 24.13, 167.67, 231.82}, {{2013, 1, 2}, 32.15, 170.92, 225.99}, {{2013, 1, 3}, 35.43, 172.68, 221.67}, {{2013, 1, 4}, 36.73, 173.05, 218.32}, {{2013, 1, 5}, 58.19, 165.96, 197.05}, {{2013, 1, 6}, 69.99, 163.50, 187.52}, {{2013, 1, 7}, 71.37, 154.21, 175.58}, {{2013, 1, 8}, 72.51, 149.66, 163.25}}; I want a DateListPlot with three graphs, so for a matrix formed by columns 1 and 2, one for columns 1 and 3, and 1 for columns 1 and 4. At the moment I'm using this code: data2 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 2]]}]; data3 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 3]]}]; data4 = Transpose[{data[[All, 1]], data[[All, 4]]}]; DateListPlot[{data2, data3, data4}, Joined -> True, Filling -> {3 -> {1}}] but I have a hunch that this can be done more efficiently. I don't like the Transpose s in particular. Any ideas? edit (for extra credit) What if I need to multiply the second column by 2, which in my solution is simp...
