calculus and analysis - Integration over a (non-parametric) curve defined by indicator function


I want to integrate the real function myFun defined on a 2D plane over the line locus, defined as the solution of a set of equality and inequalities. For instance, let's define



myFun[x_,y_]:= Exp[-(x^2+y^2)]/\[Pi]
locus[x_,y_]:= x>0 && y==0

This is just a simplified version of the general problem, in general we may not be able to esplicitate the line locus in a parametric form (and solve the integral, as in this case, with an appropriate substitution). Consider we can find it implicitly as the intersection of a region (defined by inequalities) with an equality (as given above).


How do I integrate myFun over the set locus? It should be something like


Integrate[
Exp[-(x^2 +
y^2)]/\[Pi] Ind[x,y], {x, -\[Infinity], +\[Infinity]}, {y, \
-\[Infinity], +\[Infinity]}]


with Ind[x,y] an indicator function which restrict the integration on the correct set. This function probably involves Boole and DiracDelta function. For example, in this case it works


Integrate[
Integrate[
Exp[-(x^2 + y^2)] Boole[
x > 0] DiracDelta[
y]/\[Pi], {y, -\[Infinity], +\[Infinity]}], {x, -\[Infinity], +\
\[Infinity]}]

but it is just because we could "solve" the line locus. (NOTE the order of the variable - if swapped it does not work.)


But what about the general case? For example, what if the 2D plane is the complex plane and I have the (not necessarily straight) line



locus[x_,y_]:= Re[(x + I y)^2+(3 + I 5)]>0 && Im[(x + I y)^2+(3 + I 5)]==0

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
