list manipulation - Multidimensional MATLAB conversion


I try to convert this MATLAB code: From:



(useful to compute some prox of some functions):


case 3
    %% 3D field %%
    V          = cat(4, ...
                U.M{1}(1:end-1,:,:) + U.M{1}(2:end,:,:), ...
                U.M{2}(:,1:end-1,:) + U.M{2}(:,2:end,:), ...

                U.M{3}(:,:,1:end-1) + U.M{3}(:,:,2:end));
case 4
    %% 4D field %%
    V          = cat(5, ...
                U.M{1}(1:end-1,:,:,:) + U.M{1}(2:end,:,:,:), ...
                U.M{2}(:,1:end-1,:,:) + U.M{2}(:,2:end,:,:), ...
                U.M{3}(:,:,1:end-1,:) + U.M{3}(:,:,2:end,:),...
                U.M{4}(:,:,:,1:end-1) + U.M{4}(:,:,:,2:end));

"The dimension of U.M{1} is (N+1,N) while that of U.M{2} is (N,N+1) for 2D field". I would like to have the same behavior on Mathematica, without a switch case, on arbitrary dimension. I try to do some mix with Take, Drop, ... Without any success.



rank = 4;
size = 30;
baseDim = ConstantArray[size, rank];
U = Table[Array[Subscript[m, ##] &, ReplacePart[baseDim, k -> size + 1]], {k, 1, rank}];

The idea of the MATLAB code is to concatenate N sub-tensor by taking the begining of and the end of each dimension and sum them up.


Here the '4' stand for the dimension where I would like to catenate, that do the same job as "Join". This is the intuition behind the Mathematica code above. In pure Mathematica for a Tensor with Rank 4 above the special case code can look like:


Join[U[[1]][[2 ;; ,   ;; ,   ;; ,   ;;]] + U[[1]][[;; -2, ;;   , ;;   , ;;   ]],
     U[[2]][[  ;; , 2 ;; ,   ;; ,   ;;]] + U[[2]][[;;   , ;; -2, ;;   , ;;   ]],
     U[[3]][[  ;; ,   ;; , 2 ;; ,   ;;]] + U[[3]][[;;   , ;;   , ;; -2, ;;   ]],

     U[[4]][[  ;; ,   ;; ,   ;; , 2 ;;]] + U[[4]][[;;   , ;;   , ;;   , ;; -2]], 5]

[Edit] The solution based on the answer of @Henrik-Schumacher:


With[{all = ConstantArray[All, rank]},
    Table[U[[k]][[Sequence @@ ReplacePart[all, k -> 2 ;;]]] + U[[k]][[Sequence @@ ReplacePart[all, k -> ;; -2]]], {k, 1, rank}]
]

Answer



Up to the final Join which I don't understand, the following might help:


r = 4;
tmp = Array[Subscript[m, ##] &, ConstantArray[3, r]];


With[{idx = ConstantArray[All, r]},
  Table[
   tmp[[Sequence @@ ReplacePart[idx, i -> 2 ;;]]] + 
    tmp[[Sequence @@ ReplacePart[idx, i -> ;; -2]]],
   {i, 1, r}]
  ]

or


Table[Map[2 MovingAverage[#, {1, 1}] &, tmp, {i - 1}], {i, 1, r}]

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...

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...

What is and isn't a valid variable specification for Manipulate?

I have an expression whose terms have arguments (representing subscripts), like this: myExpr = A[0] + V[1,T] I would like to put it inside a Manipulate to see its value as I move around the parameters. (The goal is eventually to plot it wrt one of the variables inside.) However, Mathematica complains when I set V[1,T] as a manipulated variable: Manipulate[Evaluate[myExpr], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, T], 0, 1}] (*Manipulate::vsform: Manipulate argument {V[1,T],0,1} does not have the correct form for a variable specification. >> *) As a workaround, if I get rid of the symbol T inside the argument, it works fine: Manipulate[ Evaluate[myExpr /. T -> 15], {A[0], 0, 1}, {V[1, 15], 0, 1}] Why this behavior? Can anyone point me to the documentation that says what counts as a valid variable? And is there a way to get Manpiulate to accept an expression with a symbolic argument as a variable? Investigations I've done so far: I tried using variableQ from this answer , but it says V[1...
