latex - Override Equation structure change in mathematica - CopyToLaTeX


I am writing my thesis, and when I do copy to LaTeX from Mathematica, it changes the equation variables and also it rearranges the structure of the original equation.


How can I override that ??



New information and further reading : http://pages.uoregon.edu/noeckel/computernotes/Mathematica/EquationEditing.html




Its really annoying especially when I have to get the exact same form.


EXAMPLE:



TeXForm[HoldForm[E^(-I k( (\[Xi]/Subscript[z, 1]+u/Subscript[z, 2]) x+ (\[Eta]/Subscript[z, 1]+v/Subscript[z, 2]) y))]]


1



\exp \left(-i

k\left(\left(\frac{\xi
}{z_1}+\frac{u}{z_2}\right)
x+\left(\frac{\eta
}{z_1}+\frac{v}{z_2}\right)
y\right)\right)


output on PDF Thanks



Answer



Perhaps something like this could help?



SetAttributes[copyAsLatex, HoldFirst];
copyAsLatex[sth_] := CopyToClipboard[ToString[HoldForm[sth] /.
x_ /y_ :> Divide[x, y], TeXForm]]

So


copyAsLatex[
U[x, y] =
Subscript[E, 0]/(4 \[Pi]) E^(I k Subscript[z, 1])/
Subscript[z,
1] E^(I k/(2 Subscript[z, 1]) ((\[Xi] - x)^2 + (\[Eta] - y)^2))]


copies the following to the clipboard


(* U(x,y)=\frac{e_0}{4 \pi } \frac{e^{i k z_1}}{z_1} e^{i \frac{k}{2 z_1} \left((\xi -x)^2+(\eta -y)^2\right)} *)

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...
