bugs - Sometimes Region can't build right region


During my work with NDSolveFEM I found strange behavior of function Region.


a = 600;

reg1 = Rectangle[{0, 0}, {6 a, a}];
hole1 = Disk[{3 a, 0.75 a}, a/8];
hole2 = Disk[{3 a, 0.25 a}, a/8];
hole3 = Disk[{2.5 a, 0.5 a}, a/8];
resreg = RegionDifference[reg1, RegionUnion[hole1, hole2, hole3]]

So, it is really simple region with 3 holes near the centre of rectangle 6a * a.


resreg is:


BooleanRegion[#1 && ! (#2 || #3 || #4) &, {Rectangle[{0, 0}, 
{3600, 600}], Disk[{1800, 450.}, 75], Disk[{1800, 150.}, 75], Disk[{1500., 300.}, 75]}]


If I try to plot it by Region on my first computer, I will receive the simple Quad region 1 * 1: enter image description here


So, this region is unmeshable and I can't understand the reason of this behavior.


If I try it on my notebook. I will receive the right plot and meshable region. enter image description here

Both computers have Windows 10 with Mathematica v 11.3. How I can make Region plot right image?



Answer



This is a bug and you should report it to support@wolfram.com. Here is why - simply because DiscretizeRegion has the same problem and does not give a message about it:


a = 600;
reg1 = Rectangle[{0, 0}, {6 a, a}];

hole1 = Disk[{3 a, 0.75 a}, a/8];
hole2 = Disk[{3 a, 0.25 a}, a/8];
hole3 = Disk[{2.5 a, 0.5 a}, a/8];
resreg = RegionDifference[reg1, RegionUnion[hole1, hole2, hole3]];

enter image description here


The finite element functions have the same problem, but they give a message about what is going on. Start with a fresh kernel:


Quit

And then:



a = 600;
reg1 = Rectangle[{0, 0}, {6 a, a}];
hole1 = Disk[{3 a, 0.75 a}, a/8];
hole2 = Disk[{3 a, 0.25 a}, a/8];
hole3 = Disk[{2.5 a, 0.5 a}, a/8];
resreg = RegionDifference[reg1, RegionUnion[hole1, hole2, hole3]];
NDSolve`FEM`ToElementMesh[resreg]

This gives a message:


enter image description here



So now we know that the RegionBounds computation either timed out or was not able to compute the bounds. However, when you call


RegionBounds[resreg]

You will get the bounds. Once the bounds are computed they are cached. That's why we needed the Quit above to make sure that we start from the same state.


As a workaround you can compute the RegionBounds before calling Region, or, if you happen to already have a FEM mesh just use:


 Region[MeshRegion[myFEMMesh]]

or


MeshRegion[myFEMMesh]

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
