front end - Listing all celltags in a notebook


Is there a command to obtain all the CellTags and the style of the cell they are in? This question is derived from this question which was answered by jVincent. Based on his answer I want to be able to create a function which takes in a string. Looks for the text "\ ref{String_}" (There should be no space between \ and ref, I'm not sure how to avoid mathjax here, if you know how to please make the proper edits) and uses that information to insert a CounterBox. The problem is that the type of counterboxes I want to insert require two arguments, the first is the style of a cell and the second is the CellTag. So really, this is a two part question:


1) How do you find out all the CellTags available? The obvious answer is by going to Cell > Add/Remove Cell Tags. This only works if you have a cell selected. If you give a cell a cellTag it will appear under "All cellTags in the notebook". So obviously Mathematica keeps a list of all the CellTags available in the notebook. The question is, how do we get this list?


2) Once we found out if this celltag is available, is there a way to obtain the style of the cell in which it is in? For instace, I might create a "DisplayFormulaNumbered" cell, and tag it as "eq1".


So why all of this? The idea is to have some cell with text like this:



From equation ref{eq1} we then ...




Note that I did not include the backlash before ref because I don't know how to avoid mathjax from transforming it at this point. Back to the idea, now using jVincent's code we could create a button that when the cell is selected, it looks for all instances of ref, grabs the input (in this case eq1), looks to see if it is a valid tag, if it isn't then it just issues a warning telling you that there's no valid tag, otherwise it replaces the ref section for the counterbox which as inputs the Cell style in which the tag is contained and the tag.



Answer



First question, try


nb=InputNotebook[];
NotebookTools`NotebookCellTags[nb]

Second question, a start could be


NotebookFind[nb, "lakj", All, CellTags, AutoScroll -> False]; 
Flatten[{NotebookRead[nb]}][[All, 2]]


EDIT, thanks John Fultz


That last line is inefficient and can fail at times. A better alternative is


"Style" /. Developer`CellInformation[nb]

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...
