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]]

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...

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...
