plotting - automatic processing of numerical results in `Plot`


First I want to solve an equation $F(x,y)=0$ for $y$ by supplying a value of $x$. (suppose obtaining the analytic form of $y(x)$ is too difficult) Then I want to plot root $y$ (numerically calculated) as a function of $x$ by using the following:


Plot[y /. FindRoot[.../.{x->x0},{y, 0.2}],{x0, 0, 1}]

and I got something like the following


enter image description here


I omit ... here since it is terribly complicated. Update: F(x,y) is of the form


$\sum_{n,m}a_{m,n}x^ny^m$



and $m$ and $n$ can be as high as 19, which basically makes Solve impractical.


The result is satisfying except a small number of points near 1.0. Setting another initial starting value of $y$ in FindRoot might be an option but it is very tedious and often I cannot find a value of $y$ that fits the whole range of $x$.


My question is: suppose I stick with the initial value of $y$, is there a way to just eliminate that anomaly point after I Plot the numerical results? Or is there a better way to deal with this kind of numerical problem in general?



Answer



Using NDSolve to create an interpolation often works well. Hard to tell if it will work with your function.


With[{f = x^2 y + y^3 - 1/3},
sol = NDSolveValue[{Dt[f == 0, x] /. y -> y[x],
y[0] == (y /. FindRoot[f /. x -> 0, {y, 0.6}])}, y, {x, 0, 1}]]
(* InterpolatingFunction[{{0., 1.}}, <>] *)


Plot[sol[x], {x, 0, 1}]

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-...

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...
