plotting - Changing the Ticks in LogLinearPlot for representation pH values


I need to change the ticks in the xaxis for representation pH values, but the ticks are not dispersed along the range of xaxis. Another question: why the vertical line defined with Epilog is not visible?


Kb1 := Kw/Ka1
Kb2 := Kw/Ka2
oh := Kw/x
f[x_] := Cs Kb2 oh/(Kb2 oh + oh^2 + Kb1 Kb2)
ff[x_] = Simplify[f[x]]

Ka1 = 6.2 10^-8
Ka2 = 4.8 10^-13
Cs = 0.1
myTicks[xmin_, xmax_] := {#, -N[Log[10, #]]} & /@FindDivisions[{xmin, xmax}, 5]
LogLinearPlot[ff[x], {x, 1. 10^-15, 15 10^-10},  AxesLabel -> {"pH", "[HA]"}, Ticks -> {myTicks, Automatic},  PlotRange -> All, Epilog -> 
 Line[{{Log[10, 1.725 10^-10], 0}, {Log[10, 1.725 10^-10], 0.1}}]]

Answer



Version 9



I made findD for that.


findD[{x1_, x2_}, n_] := FindDivisions[-Log[10, #] & /@ {x1, x2}, n]
myTicks[xmin_, xmax_] := {10^-#, #} & /@ findD[{xmin, xmax}, 10]

Have try this code.


Kb1 := Kw/Ka1; Kb2 := Kw/Ka2; oh := Kw/x; f[x_] := Cs Kb2 oh/(Kb2 oh + oh^2 + Kb1 Kb2); ff[x_] = Simplify[f[x]]; Ka1 = 6.2 10^-8; Ka2 = 4.8 10^-13; Cs = 0.1;

LogLinearPlot[ff[x], {x, 1. 10^-15, 15 10^-10},
    AxesLabel -> {"pH", "[HA]"},
    Ticks -> {myTicks, Automatic},

    PlotRange -> All
]


Blockquote



and AbsoluteOptions[%, PlotRange] show that your code Epilog-> Line[{{Log[10, 1.725 10^-10], 0}, {Log[10, 1.725 10^-10], 0.1}} is out of range, so this is my trick for your Epilog line.


LogLinearPlot[{ff[x], 1/(x - 1.725 10^-10)}, {x, 1. 10^-15, 15 10^-10},
 AxesLabel -> {"pH", "[HA]"},
    Ticks -> {myTicks, Automatic},

     PlotRange -> {0, 0.1}
]

version 10


LogLinearPlot does not work as function of Ticks in the version 10, and I think that this might be a bug. ( here is related ) So use Ticks -> {myTicks[1. 10^-15, 15 10^-10], Automatic}


LogLinearPlot[{ff[x], 1/(x - 1.725 10^-10)}, {x, 1. 10^-15, 15 10^-10}, 
    AxesLabel -> {"pH", "[HA]"}, 

    Ticks -> {myTicks[1. 10^-15, 15 10^-10], Automatic}, 
    PlotRange -> {0, 0.1}
]

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...
