plotting - how to restrict the tick options to finite number of major and minor ticks



When you plot a data using Listplot, use the following


data=Uncompress[FromCharacterCode@ Flatten[ImageData[Import["https://i.stack.imgur.com/OiZrp.png"],"Byte"]]] ListPlot[data,Plotrange->Full,Framellabel->{"Length",""},LabelStyle->{FontSize->19},PlotTheme->"Classic",Frame->True,Joined->True,ImageSize->Large,PlotStyle->{Black}]


enter image description here


Then we get a neat graph like this, however, this is not a neat image for any scientific publications, For that, we need to fix Major ticks and minor ticks to a minimum, otherwise, all those minor ticks would distract the attention.


One solution is to write manually, but that is a herculean process. but if you use some other graph plotting softwares, They have the options to control minor ticks and Major ticks.


I am certain that Mathematica also has.Could anyone give me a nice way to control the minor ticks and Major ticks?


For example, in the x-axis, I just need one minor tick in between two major ticks.and y-axis I also need three Major ticks such as 0.35,0.45,0.55 and 0.4 and 0.5 as minor ticks


Comments and previous questions


1) I also have refereed some of the Mathematica questions.


here, where they use Finddivison method, but that would not work here in my y axis, all other minor option does not look very neat.



2) I always need inward ticks.


3) please let me also know, if someone uses Mathematica for publishing scientific papers, how do you make a neat image. Any suggestions for fonts or size of the image etc are welcome.



Answer



Fine-tune to your needs:


bigTicks = Table[{x, x, {.05, 0}}, {x, 50., 50.5, .1}];
littleTicks = Table[{x, x, {.02, 0}}, {x, 50.05, 50.55, .1}];
Plot[1, {x, 50, 50.5},
Ticks -> {Union[bigTicks, littleTicks], Automatic}]

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...

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...

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...
