calculus and analysis - Solve command does not solve this equation!


I tried to solve the following equation with Mathematica:


$\left(1-x^2\right) \left(n \left(x^4-2 x^2+5\right)-4 \pi \left(x^2-1\right)\right) \sinh (\pi x) \cosh (n x)+\sinh (n x) \left(\left(1-x^2\right) \left(\pi \left(x^4-2 x^2+5\right)-4 n \left(x^2-1\right)\right) \cosh (\pi x)-2 x \left(x^4-2 x^2-3\right) \sinh (\pi x)\right)=0$


but the answer is: "This system cannot be solved with the methods available to Solve."


I also tried Maple, the result was a long relation in terms of RootOf. How can I obtain an explicit solution for $x$ in terms of $n$?


(1/(4 (-1 + 
x^2)^2))((1 - x^2) (-4 \[Pi] (-1 + x^2) +

n (5 - 2 x^2 + x^4)) Cosh[n x] Sinh[\[Pi] x] +
Sinh[n x] ((1 -
x^2) (-4 n (-1 + x^2) + \[Pi] (5 - 2 x^2 +
x^4)) Cosh[\[Pi] x] -
2 x (-3 - 2 x^2 + x^4) Sinh[\[Pi] x])) == 0

Answer



As I noted in my answer to your other question, this type of problem can be solved numerically using FindAllCrossings from this answer.


With[
{n = 1},
FindAllCrossings[(1/(4 (-1 + x^2)^2)) ((1 - x^2) (-4 π (-1 + x^2) + n (5 - 2 x^2 + x^4)) Cosh[n x] Sinh[π x] + Sinh[n x] ((1 - x^2) (-4 n (-1 + x^2) + π (5 - 2 x^2 + x^4)) Cosh[π x] - 2 x (-3 - 2 x^2 + x^4) Sinh[π x])), {x, -5, 5}, WorkingPrecision -> 20]

]


{-1.7736824298128102343}



What the function does is that it automates the method based on ContourPlot.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

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...
