performance tuning - DSolve gets stuck on system of differential equations with unassigned variable

Hopefully someone can help me with this problem. I'm running a fairly simple script that involves some matrix operations and ends with a fairly nasty system of differential equations:

h2 = {{0, -(Ω/2)}, {-(Ω/2), -k v + Δ}}

ρ = {{ρ11[t], ρ12[t]}, {ρ21[t], ρ22[t]}}


ρprime = -I (h2.ρ - ρ.h2) + {{1/2 γ ρ22[t], -γ ρ12[t]}, {-γ ρ21[t], -(1/2) γ ρ22[t]}}

replace3 = {Δ -> 0.1, γ -> 1, Ω -> 0.1, k -> 0.1}; 

p3 = DSolve[{ρ11'[t] == ρprime[[1, 1]], ρ12'[t] == ρprime[[1, 2]], 
             ρ21'[t] == ρprime[[2, 1]], ρ22'[t] == ρprime[[2, 2]], 
             ρ11[0] == 1, ρ22[0] == 0, ρ12[0] == 0, ρ21[0] == 0} /. replace3, 
            {ρ11[t], ρ12[t], ρ21[t], ρ22[t]}, {t}]

Basically, I'm trying to solve a system of four differential equations analytically, with one variable, v, left unassigned. It is very important that v not be assigned a value as this point in the script. However, when I run it, it gets stuck on the DSolve part and can't seem to do it. When I first assign v a value and then run it, the DSolve works fine. Is this system of equations simply to complicated to be solved analytically? Is there another way to do this?

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"]...
