matrix - How to input and output partitioned matrices that show partitions and compute as normal?


I want to demonstrate multiplication of partitioned matrices as in the example here. Using the Insert Menu, you can build a matrix and draw lines between rows and columns. However, I want to be able to select a subset of the column and row lines to add. Then I would like to be able to compute the product of two compatible matrices (so the column partition on the left matrix matches the row partition on the right matrix) and have the output show as a partitioned matrix where the row dividers come from the row dividers on the left matrix and the column dividers come from the column dividers on the right matrix. In the example, this matrix multiplication is defined since the column partition on A is, say, {2} and the same for the row partition on B. The resulting matrix C has a row divider after the 2nd row since A had a row divider after the second row (while B had no column dividers).



Answer



a = {{3, 0, -1}, {-5, 2, 4}, {-2, -6, 3}};

b = {{1, 2}, {-3, 4}, {2, 1}};

grdF = Grid[#1, Dividers -> {#2, #3}] &;

ga = grdF[a, {3 -> Red}, {3 -> Red}];
gb = grdF[b, False, {3 -> Red}];
gab = grdF[ga[[1]].gb[[1]],First[Dividers /. Options[gb]], Last[ Dividers /. Options[ga]]];

Row[{ga, "\[Times]", gb, " = ", gab}, Spacer[3]]

Update: Wrapping matrices with square brackets:


 bracketF = (ToBoxes[#] /. 
  TagBox[x : GridBox[__], y__] :> 
   TagBox[RowBox[{StyleBox["[", SpanMaxSize -> \[Infinity]], x, 
      StyleBox["]", SpanMaxSize -> \[Infinity]]}], y] // DisplayForm) &;

 Row[{bracketF@ga, "\[Times]", bracketF@gb, " = ", bracketF@ gab}, Spacer[3]]

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-...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

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...
