How to add point labels to my plot? - wolfram-mathematica

Below I am trying to plot a stick knot in 3 dimensions. I would like to label each of the points in order p1, p2, p3... p6 or even just 1, 2, 3, ... 6 would suffice. How do I do that?
`
P1 = {0.300775, 1.301248, -0.702434}
P2 = {-0.976281, -0.910795 , 0.701983}
P3 = {0.976171, -0.910795, -0.702076}
P4 = {-0.300495 , 1.300967, 0.702620}
P5 = {-1.276451, -0.390204, -0.702474}
P6 = {1.276282, -0.390420 , 0.702381}
Knot = {P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P1}
Show[
Graphics3D[Line[Knot]],
Graphics3D[Point[Knot]],
Axes -> True,
AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}]
`
Here is the picture of the output:

Show[Graphics3D[Line[Knot]],
Graphics3D[
MapIndexed[Text[Style["P" <> ToString[#2[[1]]], Medium, Red], #,{-1,-1}] &,
Knot[[;;-2]]]], Graphics3D[Point[Knot]], Axes -> True,
AxesLabel -> {x, y, z}]
Unfortunately its tough to get text in 3d to actually look good.
Here`s that map without the style to make it a bit easier to understand.
MapIndexed[Text["P" <> ToString[ #2[[1]] ], #] &

Mathematica code to draw a graph of this differential equation?

Does anyone know the Mathematica code that will trace the graph below?
Here is the equation for the graph, a second order linear differential equation with constant coefficients:
Here is the graph traced by this equation:
Quote from the book "Times Series Analysis and Forecasting By Example":
... where δ(t ) is an impulse (delta) function that, like a pea shot, at
time t = 0 forces the pendulum away from its equilibrium and a is the
size of the impact by the pea. It is easy to imagine that the curve
traced by this second order differential equation is a damped
sinusoidal function of time although, if the friction or viscosity is
sufficiently large, the (overdamped) pendulum may gradually come to
rest following an exponential curve without ever crossing the
centerline.
eq = m z''[t] + c z'[t] + k z[t] == a DiracDelta[t];
parms = {m -> 1, c -> .1, k -> 1, a -> 1};
sol = First#DSolve[{eq /. parms, z[0] == 1, z'[0] == 0}, z[t], t];
Plot[z[t] /. sol, {t, 0, 70}, PlotRange -> All, Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> {{z[t], None}, {Row[{t, " (sec)"}], eq}},
GridLines -> Automatic]
Notice that, for zero initial conditions, another option is to use the Control system functions in Mathematica as follows
parms = {m -> 10, c -> 1.2, k -> 4.3, a -> 1};
tf = TransferFunctionModel[a/(m s^2 + c s + k) /. parms, s]
sol = OutputResponse[tf, DiracDelta[t], t];
Plot[sol, {t, 0, 60}, PlotRange -> All, Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> {{z[t], None}, {Row[{t, " (sec)"}], eq}},
GridLines -> Automatic]
Update
Strictly speaking, the result of DSolve above is not what can be found by hand derivation of this problem. The correct solution should come out as follows
(see this also for reference)
The correct analytical solution is given by
which I derived for this problem and similar cases in here (first chapter).
Using the above solution, the correct response will look like this:
parms = {m -> 1, c -> .1, k -> 1, a -> 1};
w = Sqrt[k/m];
z = c/(2 m w);
wd = w Sqrt[1 - z^2];
analytical =
Exp[-z w t] (u0 Cos[wd t] + (v0 + (u0 z w))/wd Sin[wd t] +
a/(m wd) Sin[wd t]);
analytical /. parms /. {u0 -> 1, v0 -> 0}
(* E^(-0.05 t) (Cos[0.998749 t] + 1.05131 Sin[0.998749 t]) *)
Plotting it:
Plot[analytical /. parms /. {u0 -> 1, v0 -> 0}, {t, 0, 70},
PlotRange -> All, Frame -> True,
FrameLabel -> {{y[t], None}, {Row[{t, " (sec)"}],
"analytical solution"}}, GridLines -> Automatic, ImageSize -> 300]
If you compare the above plot with the first one shown above using DSolve you can see the difference near t=0.

Non-uniform axis ticks using Show [p1, p2, PlotRange -> All] in Mathematica 8

I am trying show a series of plots in the same figure using Mathematica 8 with Show[p1, p2, PlotRange -> All], but the y axis label (ranging from log 0.5 to log 1.5) appears non-uniform. How can I correct the axis label to be uniform?
I've included an example with two plots (dataPlot3 and dataPlot4), but I am trying to show more in the same figure.
Show uses the options from the first graphic specified, including PlotRange and Ticks. You can specify an explicit PlotRange in the creation of the first plot that encompasses the range of both data sets and appropriate ticks will be generated to cover it:
d1 = Table[x^2, {x, 50}];
d2 = Table[50 + x^3, {x, 50}];
p1 = ListLogLogPlot[d1, PlotStyle -> Red, PlotRange -> {1, 200000}]
p2 = ListLogLogPlot[d2, PlotStyle -> Black]
Show[p1, p2]

Mathematica: FindRoot for common tangent

I asked this question a little while back that did help in reaching a solution. I've arrived at a somewhat acceptable approach but still not fully where I want it. Suppose there are two functions f1[x] and g1[y] that I want to determine the value of x and y for the common tangent(s). I can at least determine x and y for one of the tangents for example with the following:
f1[x_]:=(5513.12-39931.8x+23307.5x^2+(-32426.6+75662.x-43235.4x^2)Log[(1.-1.33333x)/(1.-1.x)]+x(-10808.9+10808.9x)Log[x/(1.-1.x)])/(-1.+x)
g1[y_]:=(3632.71+3806.87y-51143.6y^2+y(-10808.9+10808.9y)Log[y/(1.-1.y)]+(-10808.9+32426.6y-21617.7y^2)Log[1.-(1.y)/(1.-1.y)])/(-1.+y)
Show[
Plot[f1[x],{x,0,.75},PlotRange->All],
Plot[g1[y],{y,0,.75},PlotRange->All]
]
Chop[FindRoot[
{
(f1[x]-g1[y])/(x-y)==D[f1[x],x]==D[g1[y],y]
},
{x,0.0000001},{y,.00000001}
]
[[All,2]]
]
However, you'll notice from the plot that there exists another common tangent at slightly larger values of x and y (say x ~ 4 and y ~ 5). Now, interestingly if I slightly change the above expressions for f1[x] and g1[y] to something like the following:
f2[x_]:=(7968.08-59377.8x+40298.7x^2+(-39909.6+93122.4x-53212.8x^2)Log[(1.-1.33333x)/(1.-1.x)]+x(-13303.2+13303.2x)Log[x/(1.-1.x)])/(-1.+x)
g2[y_]:=(5805.16-27866.2y-21643.y^2+y(-13303.2+13303.2y)Log[y/(1.-1.y)]+(-13303.2+39909.6y-26606.4y^2)Log[1.-(1.y)/(1.-1.y)])/(-1.+y)
Show[
Plot[f2[x],{x,0,.75},PlotRange->All],
Plot[g2[y],{y,0,.75},PlotRange->All]
]
Chop[FindRoot[
{
(f2[x]-g2[y])/(x-y)==D[f2[x],x]==D[g2[y],y]
},
{x,0.0000001},{y,.00000001}
]
[[All,2]]
]
And use the same method to determine the common tangent, Mathematica chooses to find the larger values of x and y for the positive sloping tangent.
Finally, my question: is it possible to have Mathematica find both the high and low x and y values for the common tangent and store these values in a similar way that allows me to make a list plot? The functions f and g above are all complex functions of another variable, z, and I am currently using something like the following to plot the tangent points (should be two x and two y) as a function of z.
ex[z_]:=Chop[FindRoot[
{
(f[x,z]-g[y,z])/(x-y)==D[f[x],x]==D[g[y],y]
},
{x,0.0000001},{y,.00000001}
]
[[All,2]]
]
ListLinePlot[
Table[{ex[z][[i]],z},{i,1,2},{z,1300,1800,10}]
]
To find estimates for {x, y} that would solve your equations, you could plot them in ContourPlot and look for intersection points. For example
f1[x_]:=(5513.12-39931.8 x+23307.5 x^2+(-32426.6+75662. x-
43235.4 x^2)Log[(1.-1.33333 x)/(1.-1.x)]+
x(-10808.9+10808.9 x) Log[x/(1.-1.x)])/(-1.+x)
g1[y_]:=(3632.71+3806.87 y-51143.6 y^2+y (-10808.9+10808.9y) Log[y/(1.-1.y)]+
(-10808.9+32426.6 y-21617.7 y^2) Log[1.-(1.y)/(1.-1.y)])/(-1.+y)
plot = ContourPlot[{f1'[x] == g1'[y], f1[x] + f1'[x] (y - x) == g1[y]},
{x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}, PlotPoints -> 40]
As you can see there are 2 intersection points in the interval (0,1). You could then read off the points from the graph and use these as starting values for FindRoot:
seeds = {{.6,.4}, {.05, .1}};
sol = FindRoot[{f1'[x] == g1'[y], f1[x] + f1'[x] (y - x) == g1[y]},
{x, #1}, {y, #2}] & ### seeds
To get the pairs of points from sol you can use ReplaceAll:
points = {{x, f1[x]}, {y, g1[y]}} /. sol
(*
==> {{{0.572412, 19969.9}, {0.432651, 4206.74}},
{{0.00840489, -5747.15}, {0.105801, -7386.68}}}
*)
To show that these are the correct points:
Show[Plot[{f1[x], g1[x]}, {x, 0, 1}],
{ParametricPlot[#1 t + (1 - t) #2, {t, -5, 5}, PlotStyle -> {Gray, Dashed}],
Graphics[{PointSize[Medium], Point[{##}]}]} & ### points]
OK, so let's quickly rewrite what you've done so far:
Using your f1 and g1, we have the plot
plot = Plot[{f1[x], g1[x]}, {x, 0, .75}]
and the first shared tangent at
sol1 = Chop[FindRoot[{(f1[x] - g1[y])/(x - y) == D[f1[x], x] == D[g1[y], y]},
{x, 0.0000001}, {y, .00000001}]]
(* {x -> 0.00840489, y -> 0.105801} *)
Define the function
l1[t_] = (1 - t) {x, f1[x]} + t {y, g1[y]} /. sol1
then, you can plot the tangents using
Show[plot, Graphics[Point[{l1[0], l1[1]}]],
ParametricPlot[l1[t], {t, -1, 2}],
PlotRange -> {{-.2, .4}, {-10000, 10000}}]
I briefly note (for my own sake) that the equations you used
(e.g., to generate sol1 above)
come from requiring that the tangent line for f1 at x
tangentially hits g1 at some point y, i.e.,
LogicalExpand[{x, f[x]} + t {1, f'[x]} == {y, g[y]} && f'[x] == g'[y]]
To investigate where the shared tangents lie, you can use a Manipulate:
Manipulate[Show[plot, ParametricPlot[{x, f1[x]} + t {1, f1'[x]}, {t, -1, 1}]],
{x, 0, .75, Appearance -> "Labeled"}]
which produces something like
Using the eyeballed values for x and y, you can get the actual solutions using
sol = Chop[Table[
FindRoot[{(f1[x] - g1[y])/(x - y) == D[f1[x], x] == D[g1[y], y]},
{x, xy[[1]]}, {y, xy[[2]]}], {xy, {{0.001, 0.01}, {0.577, 0.4}}}]]
define the two tangent lines using
l[t_] = (1 - t) {x, f1[x]} + t {y, g1[y]} /. sol
then
Show[plot, Graphics[Point[Flatten[{l[0], l[1]}, 1]]],
ParametricPlot[l[t], {t, -1, 2}, PlotStyle -> Dotted]]
This process could be automated, but I'm not sure how to do it efficiently.

How can I plot a function defined on the unit simplex in Mathematica?

I am trying to plot a function in Mathematica that is defined over the unit simplex. To take a random example, suppose I want to plot sin(x1*x2*x3) over all x1, x2, x3 such that x1, x2, x3 >= 0 and x1 + x2 + x3 = 1.
Is there a neat way of doing so, other than the obvious way of writing something like
Plot3D[If[x+y<=1,Sin[x y(1-x-y)]],{x,0,1},{y,0,1}]
?
What I want, ideally, is a way of plotting only over the simplex. I found the website http://octavia.zoology.washington.edu/Mathematica/ which has an old package, but it doesn't work on my up-to-date version of Mathematica.
If you want to get symmetric looking plots like in that package you linked, you need to figure out rotation matrix that puts the simplex into x/y plane. You can use this function below. It's kind of long because I left in the calculations to figure out simplex centering. Ironically, transformation for 4d simplex plot is much simpler. Modify e variable to get different margin
simplexPlot[func_, plotFunc_] :=
Module[{A, B, p2r, r2p, p1, p2, p3, e, x1, x2, w, h, marg, y1, y2,
valid},
A = Sqrt[2/3] {Cos[#], Sin[#], Sqrt[1/2]} & /#
Table[Pi/2 + 2 Pi/3 + 2 k Pi/3, {k, 0, 2}] // Transpose;
B = Inverse[A];
(* map 3d probability vector into 2d vector *)
p2r[{x_, y_, z_}] := Most[A.{x, y, z}];
(* map 2d vector in 3d probability vector *)
r2p[{u_, v_}] := B.{u, v, Sqrt[1/3]};
(* Bounds to center the simplex *)
{p1, p2, p3} = Transpose[A];
(* extra padding to use *)
e = 1/20;
x1 = First[p1] - e/2;
x2 = First[p2] + e/2;
w = x2 - x1;
h = p3[[2]] - p2[[2]];
marg = (w - h + e)/2;
y1 = p2[[2]] - marg;
y2 = p3[[2]] + marg;
valid =
Function[{x, y}, Min[r2p[{x, y}]] >= 0 && Max[r2p[{x, y}]] <= 1];
plotFunc[func ## r2p[{x, y}], {x, x1, x2}, {y, y1, y2},
RegionFunction -> valid]
]
Here's how to use it
simplexPlot[Sin[#1 #2 #3] &, Plot3D]
(source: yaroslavvb.com)
simplexPlot[Sin[#1 #2 #3] &, DensityPlot]
(source: yaroslavvb.com)
If you want to see domain in the original coordinate system, you could rotate the plot back to the simplex
t = AffineTransform[{{{-(1/Sqrt[2]), -(1/Sqrt[6]), 1/Sqrt[3]}, {1/
Sqrt[2], -(1/Sqrt[6]), 1/Sqrt[3]}, {0, Sqrt[2/3], 1/Sqrt[
3]}}, {1/3, 1/3, 1/3}}];
graphics = simplexPlot[5 Sin[#1 #2 #3] &, Plot3D];
shape = Cases[graphics, _GraphicsComplex];
Graphics3D[{Opacity[.5], GeometricTransformation[shape, t]},
Axes -> True]
(source: yaroslavvb.com)
Here's another simplex plot, using traditional 3d axes from here and MeshFunctions->{#3&}, complete code here
(source: yaroslavvb.com)
Try:
Plot3D[Sin[x y (1 - x - y)], {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1 - x}]
But you can also use Piecewise and RegionFunction:
Plot3D[Piecewise[{{Sin[x y (1 - x - y)],
x >= 0 && y >= 0 && x + y <= 1}}], {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1},
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y}, x + y <= 1]]

Mathematica: branch points for real roots of polynomial

I am doing a brute force search for "gradient extremals" on the following example function
fv[{x_, y_}] = ((y - (x/4)^2)^2 + 1/(4 (1 + (x - 1)^2)))/2;
This involves finding the following zeros
gecond = With[{g = D[fv[{x, y}], {{x, y}}], h = D[fv[{x, y}], {{x, y}, 2}]},
g.RotationMatrix[Pi/2].h.g == 0]
Which Reduce happily does for me:
geyvals = y /. Cases[List#ToRules#Reduce[gecond, {x, y}], {y -> _}];
geyvals is the three roots of a cubic polynomial, but the expression is a bit large to put here.
Now to my question: For different values of x, different numbers of these roots are real, and I would like to pick out the values of x where the solutions branch in order to piece together the gradient extremals along the valley floor (of fv). In the present case, since the polynomial is only cubic, I could probably do it by hand -- but I am looking for a simple way of having Mathematica do it for me?
Edit: To clarify: The gradient extremals stuff is just background -- and a simple way to set up a hard problem. I am not so interested in the specific solution to this problem as in a general hand-off way of spotting the branch points for polynomial roots. Have added an answer below with a working approach.
Edit 2: Since it seems that the actual problem is much more fun than root branching: rcollyer suggests using ContourPlot directly on gecond to get the gradient extremals. To make this complete we need to separate valleys and ridges, which is done by looking at the eigenvalue of the Hessian perpendicular to the gradient. Putting a check for "valleynes" in as a RegionFunction we are left with only the valley line:
valleycond = With[{
g = D[fv[{x, y}], {{x, y}}],
h = D[fv[{x, y}], {{x, y}, 2}]},
g.RotationMatrix[Pi/2].h.RotationMatrix[-Pi/2].g >= 0];
gbuf["gevalley"]=ContourPlot[gecond // Evaluate, {x, -2, 4}, {y, -.5, 1.2},
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y}, Evaluate#valleycond],
PlotPoints -> 41];
Which gives just the valley floor line. Including some contours and the saddle point:
fvSaddlept = {x, y} /. First#Solve[Thread[D[fv[{x, y}], {{x, y}}] == {0, 0}]]
gbuf["contours"] = ContourPlot[fv[{x, y}],
{x, -2, 4}, {y, -.7, 1.5}, PlotRange -> {0, 1/2},
Contours -> fv#fvSaddlept (Range[6]/3 - .01),
PlotPoints -> 41, AspectRatio -> Automatic, ContourShading -> None];
gbuf["saddle"] = Graphics[{Red, Point[fvSaddlept]}];
Show[gbuf /# {"contours", "saddle", "gevalley"}]
We end up with a plot like this:
Not sure if this (belatedly) helps, but it seems you are interested in discriminant points, that is, where both polynomial and derivative (wrt y) vanish. You can solve this system for {x,y} and throw away complex solutions as below.
fv[{x_, y_}] = ((y - (x/4)^2)^2 + 1/(4 (1 + (x - 1)^2)))/2;
gecond = With[{g = D[fv[{x, y}], {{x, y}}],
h = D[fv[{x, y}], {{x, y}, 2}]}, g.RotationMatrix[Pi/2].h.g]
In[14]:= Cases[{x, y} /.
NSolve[{gecond, D[gecond, y]} == 0, {x, y}], {_Real, _Real}]
Out[14]= {{-0.0158768, -15.2464}, {1.05635, -0.963629}, {1.,
0.0625}, {1., 0.0625}}
If you only want to plot the result then use StreamPlot[] on the gradients:
grad = D[fv[{x, y}], {{x, y}}];
StreamPlot[grad, {x, -5, 5}, {y, -5, 5},
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y}, fv[{x, y}] < 1],
StreamScale -> 1]
You may have to fiddle around with the plot's precision, StreamStyle, and the RegionFunction to get it perfect. Especially useful would be using the solution for the valley floor to seed StreamPoints programmatically.
Updated: see below.
I'd approach this first by visualizing the imaginary parts of the roots:
This tells you three things immediately: 1) the first root is always real, 2) the second two are the conjugate pairs, and 3) there is a small region near zero in which all three are real. Additionally, note that the exclusions only got rid of the singular point at x=0, and we can see why when we zoom in:
We can then use the EvalutionMonitor to generate the list of roots directly:
Map[Module[{f, fcn = #1},
f[x_] := Im[fcn];
Reap[Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 1.5},
Exclusions -> {True, f[x] == 1, f[x] == -1},
EvaluationMonitor :> Sow[{x, f[x]}][[2, 1]] //
SortBy[#, First] &];]
]&, geyvals]
(Note, the Part specification is a little odd, Reap returns a List of what is sown as the second item in a List, so this results in a nested list. Also, Plot doesn't sample the points in a straightforward manner, so SortBy is needed.) There may be a more elegant route to determine where the last two roots become complex, but since their imaginary parts are piecewise continuous, it just seemed easier to brute force it.
Edit: Since you've mentioned that you want an automatic method for generating where some of the roots become complex, I've been exploring what happens when you substitute in y -> p + I q. Now this assumes that x is real, but you've already done that in your solution. Specifically, I do the following
In[1] := poly = g.RotationMatrix[Pi/2].h.g /. {y -> p + I q} // ComplexExpand;
In[2] := {pr,pi} = poly /. Complex[a_, b_] :> a + z b & // CoefficientList[#, z] & //
Simplify[#, {x, p, q} \[Element] Reals]&;
where the second step allows me to isolate the real and imaginary parts of the equation and simplify them independent of each other. Doing this same thing with the generic 2D polynomial, f + d x + a x^2 + e y + 2 c x y + b y^2, but making both x and y complex; I noted that Im[poly] = Im[x] D[poly, Im[x]] + Im[y] D[poly,[y]], and this may hold for your equation, also. By making x real, the imaginary part of poly becomes q times some function of x, p, and q. So, setting q=0 always gives Im[poly] == 0. But, that does not tell us anything new. However, if we
In[3] := qvals = Cases[List#ToRules#RReduce[ pi == 0 && q != 0, {x,p,q}],
{q -> a_}:> a];
we get several formulas for q involving x and p. For some values of x and p, those formulas may be imaginary, and we can use Reduce to determine where Re[qvals] == 0. In other words, we want the "imaginary" part of y to be real and this can be accomplished by allowing q to be zero or purely imaginary. Plotting the region where Re[q]==0 and overlaying the gradient extremal lines via
With[{rngs = Sequence[{x,-2,2},{y,-10,10}]},
Show#{
RegionPlot[Evaluate[Thread[Re[qvals]==0]/.p-> y], rngs],
ContourPlot[g.RotationMatrix[Pi/2].h.g==0,rngs
ContourStyle -> {Darker#Red,Dashed}]}]
gives
which confirms the regions in the first two plots showing the 3 real roots.
Ended up trying myself since the goal really was to do it 'hands off'. I'll leave the question open for a good while to see if anybody finds a better way.
The code below uses bisection to bracket the points where CountRoots changes value. This works for my case (spotting the singularity at x=0 is pure luck):
In[214]:= findRootBranches[Function[x, Evaluate#geyvals[[1, 1]]], {-5, 5}]
Out[214]= {{{-5., -0.0158768}, 1}, {{-0.0158768, -5.96046*10^-9}, 3}, {{0., 0.}, 2}, {{5.96046*10^-9, 1.05635}, 3}, {{1.05635, 5.}, 1}}
