bugs - Eigenvalues broken in Version 12.0


Bug introduced in 12.0.




The following code calculates the eigenvalues of a certain complex matrix, which come in pairs of opposite complex numbers. Therefore one can check whether the sum of all eigenvalues is equal to the trace of the matrix, which is zero.



This is indeed the case in Version 10.1 & 11.3 as far as I tested. However, Version 12.0 (Windows, Mac, Linux) gives something seriously wrong.


NN = 374; R = 0.05;
t1 = -1 + Cos[x] - I Sin[x] + I R; t1p = -1 + Cos[x] + I Sin[x] +
I R;
mat[x_] =
DiagonalMatrix[Table[If[EvenQ[n], t1, -1], {n, 0, 2 NN - 1 - 1}],
1] + DiagonalMatrix[
Table[If[EvenQ[n], t1p, -1], {n, 0, 2 NN - 1 - 1}], -1] +
DiagonalMatrix[Table[If[EvenQ[n], -1, 0], {n, 0, 2 NN - 1 - 3}],
3] + DiagonalMatrix[

Table[If[EvenQ[n], -1, 0], {n, 0, 2 NN - 1 - 3}], -3];
mat0 = mat[-0.2 \[Pi]];
Tr@mat0 (* 0. *)
Total@Eigenvalues@mat0 (* 0.394003 - 0.566499 I *)

I would rather switch back to 11.3 for a while. This looks really dangerous...




Original post of a more complex matrix with the same issue:


The code plots the real part of adding each pair. So the correct plot should be just zeros everywhere. This is the case in Version 10.1 & 11.3 as far as I tested (scattered numbers around $10^{-14}$ or so). However, Version 12.0 (Windows, Mac, Linux) gives something different as shown below.


NN = 200; R = 0.05;

xlist = Table[x, {x, -0.2 \[Pi], 0.2 \[Pi], 0.01}];
modl[n_] := 2*^-3 (Quotient[n, 2] - NN/2);
t1 = -1 + Cos[x] - I Sin[x] + I R; t1p = -1 + Cos[x] + I Sin[x] + I R;
t2a[n_] := -1 - modl[n]; t2b[n_] := -1 + modl[n];
mat[x_] =
DiagonalMatrix[
Table[If[EvenQ[n], t1, t2a[n]], {n, 0, 2 NN - 1 - 1}], 1] +
DiagonalMatrix[
Table[If[EvenQ[n], t1p, t2a[n]], {n, 0, 2 NN - 1 - 1}], -1] +
DiagonalMatrix[

Table[If[EvenQ[n], t2b[n], 0], {n, 0, 2 NN - 1 - 3}], 3] +
DiagonalMatrix[
Table[If[EvenQ[n], t2b[n], 0], {n, 0, 2 NN - 1 - 3}], -3];
list0 = Sort@Re@Eigenvalues[mat[xlist[[3]]]];
list0p = Table[list0[[i]] + list0[[2 NN - i + 1]], {i, NN}];
ListPlot[Tooltip@list0p, PlotRange -> All]

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...

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-...
