mathematical optimization - What is wrong with my ArgMin expression?


I need to find the minimum of a function mj21+mj22 where my mj are constrained.


I wrote this expression:



ArgMin[
{mj1^2 + mj2^2, mj1 == (M1 + 1)*p1, p1 ∈ Integers,
mj2 == (M2 + 1)*p2, p2 ∈ Integers,
MemberQ[{mj1, mj2} , couplesm]}, {mj1, mj2}]

Indeed, my mj's must be multiples of Mj + 1, and they musn't be part of a list given by couplesm.


When I evaluate it, I get the following message;



ArgMin::infeas: There are no values of {mj1, mj2} for which the constraints False are satisfied and the objective function mj1^2 + mj2^2 is real valued.




I even added p1 and p2 to the variables of minimization, but it still didn't work.


How can I find the minimum of: mj21+mj22, where mji is a multiple of Mi+1 and where the pairs (mj1,mj2) can't be inside of the list couplesm?


Edit


I wrote the following and the code still doesn't work.


couplesm = {{0, 0}}


{{0, 0}}



ArgMin[

{mj1^2 + mj2^2,
IntegerQ[mj1/(M1 + 1)], IntegerQ[mj2/(M1 + 1)],
mj1 ∈ Integers, mj2 ∈ Integers,
Sequence @@ Table[{mj1, mj2} != couplesm[[i]], {i, 1, Length[couplesm]}]},
{mj1, mj2}]


ArgMin::infeas: There are no values of {mj1,mj2} for which the constraints False are satisfied and the objective function mj1^2+mj2^2 is real valued.


{Indeterminate, Indeterminate}

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...

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...

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...
