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}]])


Mathematica graphics


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

Mathematica graphics

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...
