factorization - Lists of coefficients of derivatives


I want to extract two separate lists of coefficients of derivatives. If I have, for example,


cl= A1*D[P[x, y], {x, 1}] + A2*D[P[x, y], {x, 2}] + 
A3*D[Q[x, y], {y, 3}] + A4*D[Q[x, y], {y, 1}];


I want to extract the lists {A1, A2} and {A3, A4} but do not want to type all the derivative expressions into command CoefficientList. I want to extract these lists programmatically because of I have a very long list of derivatives in my actual problem, which I thought was too long to post here.


The following seems to work, but how can I do it without typing in the list of derivatives?


Coefficient[cl, {D[P[x, y], {x, 1}], D[P[x, y], {x, 2}]}]
Coefficient[cl, {D[Q[x, y], {y, 3}], D[Q[x, y], {y, 1}]}]

Longer example


 cl2=B1*Derivative[0, 1, 0][R][x, y, z] + 
B2*Derivative[2, 0, 0][R][x, y, z] +
B4*Derivative[2, 1, 3][V][x, y, z] +
B3*Derivative[3, 2, 1][R][x, y, z] + B5*Derivative[4, 1, 5][V][x, y, z] + B0*V[x, y, z] + B00*R[x, y, z];


I need list of coefficients and list of derivatives parallel to know for which derivative is appropriate coefficient. But if I have zero derivatives, they don't appear in the list?



Answer



Also borrowing from Daniel's comment, perhaps you would like:


cl = A1*D[P[x, y], {x, 1}] + A2*D[P[x, y], {x, 2}] + 
A3*D[Q[x, y], {y, 3}] + A4*D[Q[x, y], {y, 1}];

Cases[cl, coef_ * Derivative[__][x_][__] :> {x, coef}, 1];

{#[[1, 1]], #[[All, 2]]} & /@ GatherBy[%, First]



{{Q, {A4, A3}}, {P, {A1, A2}}}

Or somewhat less transparently as a one-liner:


Reap[Cases[cl, coef_*Derivative[__][x_][__] :> Sow[coef, x], 1], _, List][[2]]


{{Q, {A4, A3}}, {P, {A1, A2}}}




Based on the comments below I believe you may use:


Reap[Cases[cl2, coef_ * d : Derivative[__][_][__] :> Sow[coef, d], 1], _, List][[2]]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
