list manipulation - How to create overlapped block matrices and simplify the result


This is sort of a duplicate of Creating overlapped block matrices, but the question wasn't fully answered since the OP never returned to clarify.


I am using Kuba's answer for FEM, but I have been unable to get it to work properly. The problem is that the block matrix isn't being simplified even when the arrays we are working with are known (not arbitrary). Below is sample code. I have used examples for a, b and c, but in my actual code the matrices are larger and much more complicated.


a = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}};
b = {{3, 2, 7}, {2, 0, 3}, {4, 1, 2}};
c = {{5, 1, 4}, {4, 5, 8}, {9, 1, 6}};

n = {3, 3};

arrays = Array[#, n] & /@ {a, b, c}; (*arrays to work with*)

app[a1_, a2_, overlap_: 1] := With[{dim = Dimensions@a1},
                                   ArrayPad[a1, {0, n[[1]] - overlap}] + 
                                   ArrayPad[a2, Transpose@{dim - overlap, {0, 0}}]];

Fold[app, First@arrays, Rest@arrays] // MatrixForm

Result


Notice how Mathematica returns Matrix[index] rather than simplifying it. How can I adjust the code and simplify this, and replace e.g. {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}[1,1] with 1 since that is row 1, column 1 of the matrix?




Answer



Here is a somewhat general routine for building block diagonal matrices with overlaps:


blockOverlap[matList_?ArrayQ, r : (_Integer | {__Integer}) : 1] := 
     With[{spopt = SystemOptions["SparseArrayOptions"]},
          Internal`WithLocalSettings[SetSystemOptions["SparseArrayOptions" ->
                                     {"TreatRepeatedEntries" -> 1}],
          SparseArray[Sort[Flatten[MapThread[
                      ArrayRules[SparseArray[Band[{#1, #1}] -> {#2}]] &,
                      {Accumulate[Prepend[(Length /@ Most[matList]) - r, 1]], 
                       matList}]]]],

          SetSystemOptions[spopt]]]

OP's example:


blockOverlap[{a, b, c}] // MatrixForm

(12300004560000781227000020300004171400004580000916)


A slightly more general example:


blockOverlap[{a, b, c}, {1, 2}] // MatrixForm

(1230004560007812270002544004578000916)

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...

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...

How to remap graph properties?

Graph objects support both custom properties, which do not have special meanings, and standard properties, which may be used by some functions. When importing from formats such as GraphML, we usually get a result with custom properties. What is the simplest way to remap one property to another, e.g. to remap a custom property to a standard one so it can be used with various functions? Example: Let's get Zachary's karate club network with edge weights and vertex names from here: http://nexus.igraph.org/api/dataset_info?id=1&format=html g = Import[ "http://nexus.igraph.org/api/dataset?id=1&format=GraphML", {"ZIP", "karate.GraphML"}] I can remap "name" to VertexLabels and "weights" to EdgeWeight like this: sp[prop_][g_] := SetProperty[g, prop] g2 = g // sp[EdgeWeight -> (PropertyValue[{g, #}, "weight"] & /@ EdgeList[g])] // sp[VertexLabels -> (# -> PropertyValue[{g, #}, "name"]...
