equation solving - Problem with NSolve Speed



I have a very complicated function but only of 1 variable. I want to find the first value for which that function is zero. Mathematica can easily plot it:


func = Det[coeffMatrix];
Plot[func, {\[Beta]1, 0, 3}]

enter image description here



From that plot, one can easily see that the first value would be ~2.556.


To show that $\beta_1$ = 2.556 is actually the approximate solution:


func /. \[Beta]1 -> 2.556


-0.00139597



However, when I try to find it numerically:


NSolve[func == 0 && 0 < \[Beta]1 < 10, \[Beta]1]


...it just runs and runs and runs and never gives an answer. Why ? and how can I fix it ?

Answer



From: About multi-root search in Mathematica for transcendental equations


f[\[Beta]1_] = Det[coeffMatrix];

zeros = Reap[
   NDSolve[{y'[x] == D[f[x], x], WhenEvent[y[x] == 0, Sow[{x, y[x]}]],
      y[1] == f[1]}, {}, {x, 3, 0.01}]][[-1, 1]]
Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 3}, 
 Epilog -> {PointSize[Medium], Red, Point[zeros]}]

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...
