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 - 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 - 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 - Adding a thick curve to a regionplot

Suppose we have the following simple RegionPlot: f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}] Now I'm trying to change the curve defined by $y=g[x]$ into a thick black curve, while leaving all other boundaries in the plot unchanged. I've tried adding the region $y=g[x]$ and playing with the plotstyle, which didn't work, and I've tried BoundaryStyle, which changed all the boundaries in the plot. Now I'm kinda out of ideas... Any help would be appreciated! Answer With f[x_] := 1 - x^2 g[x_] := 1 - 0.5 x^2 You can use Epilog to add the thick line: RegionPlot[{y < f[x], f[x] < y < g[x], y > g[x]}, {x, 0, 2}, {y, 0, 2}, PlotPoints -> 50, Epilog -> (Plot[g[x], {x, 0, 2}, PlotStyle -> {Black, Thick}][[1]]), PlotStyle -> {Directive[Yellow, Opacity[0.4]], Directive[Pink, Opacity[0.4]],
