dynamic - Assign values to parameters from a list/Matrix using GUI


Assume there is a list like:



ma={{L1,r1},{L2,r2}};

I want to convert the ma to a GUI which asks me about the values of L1,r1,L2 and r2 and then allows me to assign values to L1,r1,L2 and r2 as follows:


L1=2    r1=0.5
L2=4    r2=0.1

Then new matrix ma will be:


ma={{2,0.5},{4,0.1}}

I have no idea how to do that in Mathematica software! Could you please help me with it ?!




** EDITED **



This is my code for the problem:


AskUser =
DialogInput[{L1 = "", r1 = "", L2 = "", r2 = ""}, 
Column[{"L1", InputField[Dynamic[L1], Number], "r1", 
 InputField[Dynamic[r1], Number], "L2", 
 InputField[Dynamic[L2], Number], "r2", 
 InputField[Dynamic[r2], Number], 

 Button["Proceed", DialogReturn[{{L1, r1}, {L2, r2}}], 
  ImageSize -> Automatic]}]];

Suggested code works properly. However, the ma matrix is not a fixed array matrix. For example it can be like:


`ma={{L1,r1},{L2,r2},{L3,r3}};`

In other words, the ma matrix is a variable matrix whose general form is like :


`ma={{L1,r1},{L2,r2},{L3,r3},...,{Ln,rn}};`

(Thanks SquareOne for the help) **EDITED**



Now my question is how I can program a UI which can adapt itself with the ma changes in arrays and can accept both Numbers and Symbols for the input fields and having label names beside the input fields?



Answer



Implementation 1


This should produce the desired GUI.


askUser[matrix_] := DialogInput[
  Column[{
    Grid[{ToString@#1, InputField[Dynamic[#1], FieldSize -> Tiny], 
        ToString@#2, InputField[Dynamic[#2], FieldSize -> Tiny]} & @@@
       matrix, Alignment -> Left], 
    Row[{CancelButton[], DefaultButton[DialogReturn[matrix]]}]

    }]]

ma = {{L1, r1}, {L2, r2}};
askUser[ma]

enter image description here


ma


{{1, r1}, {L2, 2}}




ma = {{L11, r11}, {L22, r22}, {L33, r33}};
askUser[ma]

enter image description here



{{1, r11}, {L22, 0}, {1, r33}}



It is important to note, that with this implementation the values put into the GUI are assigned to the corresponding parameters of the matrix.




Implementation 2


The GUI of this implementation looks the same as the first one, however no values will be Set to the symbols used in the input matrix.


askUser2[matrix_] := 
 DialogInput[
  DynamicModule[{localMatrix = ConstantArray[0, Dimensions@matrix]},
   Column[{
     Grid[
      Array[Sequence @@ {ToString@matrix[[#, #2]], 
          InputField[Dynamic@localMatrix[[#, #2]], 
           FieldSize -> Tiny]} &, Dimensions@matrix], 

      Alignment -> Left], 
     Row[{CancelButton[], DefaultButton[DialogReturn[localMatrix]]}]
     }]]]

Additionally the possible shapes of the input matrix is less restricted.

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...
