Using multiple solutions from equations in further calculations


First: This question is a follow-up question to my question here.


Consider the following code with output:


ClearAll[a1, b1, a2, b2, xC1, yC1, xC2, yC2, c, m]
a1 := 2
b1 := 1
a2 := 1
b2 := 1/2
xC1 := 0
yC1 := 1

xC2 := 0
yC2 := 4

eqn1 = a1 (a1^2 b2^2 m^2 + b1^2 (b2^2 - (c + m xC1 - yC1)^2)) ==
b2 (a1^2 (a2^2 m^2 + b2^2) - a2^2 (c + m xC2 - yC2)^2);
eqn2 = (a1^2 m (c - yC1) - b1^2 xC1)^2 ==
(a1^2 m^2 + b1^2) (b1^2 xC1^2 + a1^2 (c - yC1)^2 - a1^2 b2^2);
Solve[eqn1 && eqn2, {c, m}]

\begin{equation} \small \left\{ \left\{c \to -2, m \to -\frac{\sqrt{35}}{2}\right\}, \left\{c \to -2, m \to \frac{\sqrt{35}}{2}\right\}, \left\{c \to 2, m \to -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right\}, \left\{c \to 2, m \to \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right\} \right\} \end{equation}



I need to calculate the values of the two expressions


(a1^2 m (c - yC1) - b1^2 xC1)/(a1^2 m^2 + b1^2)
(a2^2 m (c - yC2) - b2^2 xC2)/(a2^2 m^2 + b2^2)

for all four combinations of $c$ and $m$. (This gives eight output values.)


Furthermore, I would like the eight output values to be named x1 to x8.


How do I do that?



Answer



ClearAll[a1, b1, a2, b2, xC1, yC1, xC2, yC2, c, m]
a1 = 2;

b1 = 1;
a2 = 1;
b2 = 1/2;
xC1 = 0;
yC1 = 1;
xC2 = 0;
yC2 = 4;

eqn1 = a1 (a1^2 b2^2 m^2 + b1^2 (b2^2 - (c + m xC1 - yC1)^2)) ==
b2 (a1^2 (a2^2 m^2 + b2^2) - a2^2 (c + m xC2 - yC2)^2);

eqn2 = (a1^2 m (c - yC1) - b1^2 xC1)^2 == (a1^2 m^2 + b1^2) (b1^2 xC1^2 +
a1^2 (c - yC1)^2 - a1^2 b2^2);

sol = Solve[eqn1 && eqn2, {c, m}];

Clear[x]

Using an indexed variable and depending on the order of the sequencing desired, use either


Evaluate[Array[x, 8]] = {(a1^2 m (c - yC1) - b1^2 xC1)/(a1^2 m^2 + b1^2),
(a2^2 m (c - yC2) - b2^2 xC2)/(a2^2 m^2 + b2^2)} /. sol // Flatten;


x /@ Range[8]

(* {Sqrt[35]/6, Sqrt[35]/3, -(Sqrt[35]/6), -(Sqrt[35]/3), -(Sqrt[3]/
2), Sqrt[3], Sqrt[3]/2, -Sqrt[3]} *)

or


Clear[x]

Evaluate[Array[x, 8]] = {(a1^2 m (c - yC1) - b1^2 xC1)/(a1^2 m^2 + b1^2),

(a2^2 m (c - yC2) - b2^2 xC2)/(a2^2 m^2 + b2^2)} /. sol // Transpose //
Flatten;

x /@ Range[8]

(* {Sqrt[35]/6, -(Sqrt[35]/6), -(Sqrt[3]/2), Sqrt[3]/2, Sqrt[35]/3, -(Sqrt[35]/
3), Sqrt[3], -Sqrt[3]} *)

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...
