Delete rows and columns in a matrix based on the element index


This is a follow-up question from here: Define a 4d matrix without for loop


I have a 400x400 2d matrix reshaped from a 4d matrix H(i,j,k,l),


H(0,0,0,0)  H (0,0,0,1) ... H(0,0,0,N)... H(0,0,1,0) ... H(0,0,N,N)
H(0,1,0,0) H (0,1,0,1) ... H(0,1,0,N)... H(0,1,1,0) ... H(0,1,N,N)
...
H(1,0,0,0) H (1,0,0,1) ... H(1,0,0,N)... H(1,0,1,0) ... H(1,0,N,N)

...
H(N,N,0,0) H (N,N,0,1) ... H(N,N,0,N)... H(N,N,1,0) ... H(N,N,N,N)

now I would like to modify/delete some rows and columns like this:



  1. If i==j, then half this element

  2. If i>j OR k>l, then delete this element


I have checked the manual for DeleteCase and some other resources but have no luck yet. Does anyone has a idea how to implement it? Thanks.


UPDATED: Kglr has given the pre and post matrix forms in the answer. Thanks.




Answer



f1 = Partition[# @@@ Tuples[Range[0, #2], #2 + 1], (#2 + 1)^2] &;
m1 = f1[H, 3];

Use ReplaceAll


m2 = m1 /.  H[i_, j_, k_, l_] /; (i > j || k > l) :> Sequence[] /. 
H[i_, i_, k_, l_] :> H[i, i, k, l]/2 /. {} -> Style[0, Red];

Or DeleteCases


m2b = DeleteCases[m1, H[i_, j_, k_, l_] /; (i > j || k > l), 2] /. 

a : H[i_, i_, _, _] :> a/2 /. {} -> Style[0, Red]

m2b == m2


True



Or, construct the original matrix using your conditions


m2c = ArrayReshape[ Array[Which[# > #2 || #3 > #4, foo, # == #2, H[##]/2, True, H[##]] &,
{4, 4, 4, 4}, {0, 0, 0, 0}], {16, 16}] /. foo -> Sequence[] /. {} -> Style[0, Red]


m2c == m2


True



Style[0,Red] is for the purpose of checking if the right rows and columns are deleted. Replace Style[0,Red] with Sequence[] after verifying that f1 works as intended.


(In the following, H[a, b, c, d] is replaced with H[abcd] to see the entire matrix in the notebook window).


MatrixForm@(m1 /. H[a___] :> H[StringJoin[ToString /@ {a}]])

MatrixForm@(m2 /. H[a___] :> H[StringJoin[ToString /@ {a}]])

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-...

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...
