simplifying expressions - Separating exponential terms


Suppose I have a lot of expressions multiplied by factors such as:


$$e^{-i\theta[1]-i\theta[2] - i\theta[3]-i\theta[4]-i\theta[5]}$$


I would like to separate this into a product of exponentials of the form


$$e^{-i\theta[1]}e^{-i\theta[2]}...$$


before employing the function ExpToTrig and making substitutions to the result trigonometric functions.



However, since I plan to apply the tangent half angle substitution (cf. my previous question Simplifying Expressions for FindMinimum), I would like the arguments to involve only one variable at a time. In particular, I tried using ComplexExpand on the function to express the trigonometric functions as functions of a single variable, but it expands the entire function out.


In short, I would like to keep the simplified form, but want to expand the exponential as per the above without having to expand the entire expression.


For reference, here is my function


(E^(-I θ[1] - I θ[2] - I θ[3] - I θ[4] - I (θ[5] - θ[6]))
Abs[Sin[ϕ[6]]]^2 (1 - E^(I (θ[1] - θ[6]))
   Cot[ϕ[6]/2] Tan[ϕ[1]/2]) (Cos[θ[1]] + I Sin[θ[1]] + E^(I θ[2])
   Tan[ϕ[1]/2] Tan[ϕ[2]/2]) (Cos[θ[2]] + I Sin[θ[2]] + E^(I θ[3])
   Tan[ϕ[2]/2] Tan[ϕ[3]/2]) (Cos[θ[3]] + I Sin[θ[3]] + E^(I θ[4])
   Tan[ϕ[3]/2] Tan[ϕ[4]/2]) (Cos[θ[5] - θ[6]] + I Sin[θ[5] - θ[6]] - Cot[ϕ[6]/2] 
   Tan[ϕ[5]/2]) (Cos[θ[4]] + I Sin[θ[4]] + E^(I θ[5])

   Tan[Ï•[4]/2] Tan[Ï•[5]/2]))/
(2 Sqrt[(1 + Abs[Tan[Ï•[1]/2]]^2) (1 + Abs[Tan[Ï•[2]/2]]^2)]
   Sqrt[(1 + Abs[Tan[Ï•[2]/2]]^2) (1 + Abs[Tan[Ï•[3]/2]]^2)]
   Sqrt[(1 + Abs[Tan[Ï•[3]/2]]^2) (1 + Abs[Tan[Ï•[4]/2]]^2)]
   Sqrt[(1 + Abs[Tan[Ï•[4]/2]]^2) (1 + Abs[Tan[Ï•[5]/2]]^2)]
   Sqrt[(1 + Abs[Tan[Ï•[1]/2]]^2) (1 + Cos[Ï•[6]])]
   Sqrt[(1 + Abs[Tan[Ï•[5]/2]]^2) (1 + Cos[Ï•[6]])])

Answer



Update


In the interest of simplifying the code somewhat, I've modified one of the replacements. For instance, we can do



expr2 = Thread[expr1, Plus] /. Plus -> Times

or


epxr2 = expr1 /. expT[Plus[a__]] :> Times @@ expT /@ a

rather than


expr2 = expr1 //. {expT[a_ + b_] :> expT[a] expT[b]}

So:


f[expr_] := Thread[expr /. Power[E, a_] :> expT@Expand@a, Plus] /. Plus -> Times /. expT[a_] :> ExpToTrig@Exp@a


or


f[expr_] := expr /. Power[E, a_] :> expT@Expand@a /. expT[Plus[a__]] :> Times @@ expT /@ a /. expT[a_] :> ExpToTrig@Exp@a

Original Post


As Bill commented, Mathematica likes to keep Exp[]'s together. Here's a workaround that I've used in the past. We replace Exp with a dummy head expT, do the re-write using replacement rules, and in the process apply ExpToTrig.


For instance, if


expr = Exp[-I (4 + a) + c];

we first do



expr1 = expr /. Power[E, a_] :> expT@Expand@a
(* expT[-4 I - I a + c] *)

Then, we separate the terms inside expT using ReplaceRepeated:


expr2 = expr1 //. {expT[a_ + b_] :> expT[a] expT[b]}
(* expT[-4 I] expT[-I a] expT[c] *)

Finally, we convert back to Exp and apply ExpToTrig:


expr2 /. expT[a_] :> ExpToTrig@Exp@a
(* (Cos[4] - I Sin[4]) (Cos[a] - I Sin[a]) (Cosh[c] + Sinh[c]) *)


We can do all at once, of course. Define


f[expr_] := expr /. Power[E, a_] :> expT@a //. {expT[a_ + b_] :> expT[a] expT[b]} /. expT[a_] :> ExpToTrig@Exp@a

in which case


f[expr]
(* (Cos[4] - I Sin[4]) (Cos[a] - I Sin[a]) (Cosh[c] + Sinh[c]) *)

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...
