numerics - Any way of solving this system of nonlinear equations with non integer powers?


I have a system of four nonlinear equations. Some of the exponents are fractions. I was wondering if this is what is causing NSolve to run for hours without giving any results.


I first create a list of parameters that I eventually want to play around with to see how results change. This parameter list is "dat". I then specify the equations as follows:


dat = {alpha -> 1/3, beta -> 1/3, sigma -> 1/3, gam -> 0.5, 
psy -> 0.5, delta -> 0.5, vu -> 0.5, a -> 1, A -> 1/3, B -> 1/3,

C -> 1/3, Ls -> 10, T -> 10, mc -> 1.5}

{p2 - w^psy pw^gam ((psy/gam)^gam + (gam/psy)^psy) == 0,
Ls - (beta/w)^(alpha + sigma) (pw/(alpha (1 + a C r T)))^
alpha (r/sigma)^sigma (w Ls delta + r T A) - (pw psy/w gam)^
gam ((w Ls vu + r T B)/p2) == 0,
T - (sigma/r)^(alpha + beta) (w/beta)^
beta (pw/(alpha (1 + a C r T)))^alpha (w Ls delta + r T A) == 0,
pw - (((((1 + a C r T) alpha)/pw)^(beta + sigma) (w/beta)^
beta (r/sigma)^

sigma (w Ls delta + r T A) + ((w gam)/(psy pw))^
psy ((w Ls vu + r T B)/p2)) mc (1 +
a C r T))/((((1 + a C r T) alpha)/pw)^(beta + sigma) (w/
beta)^beta (r/sigma)^
sigma (w Ls delta + r T A) + ((w gam)/(psy pw))^
psy ((w Ls vu + r T B)/p2) (1 + a C r T)) == 0} /. dat

And then proceed with NSolve:


NSolve[%, {w, r, p2, pw}, Reals]


But Nothing happens. I tried using Rationalize but it does not seem to help. I am new to Mathematica so I hope that I am doing something wrong and that I missed something and can solve the system. Any suggestions?


Finally, how can I loop and redo this calculation with different parameters in the "dat" list?

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-...

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...
