How to use With inside a ContourPlot in mathematica? - wolfram-mathematica

I want to use something like:
ContourPlot [Abs[z-1] == 2]
and to define z as being = x + iy
I saw somewhere an example like that with the With function, but I can't find it anymore and all my tries are not being successful.

Yes, you can. You just need to be sure to either put the With outside of the ContourPlot:
With[{z = x + I y},
ContourPlot[Abs[z - 1] == 2, {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}]]
You can also use Evaluate:
ContourPlot[
With[{z = x + I y}, Abs[z - 1] == 2] // Evaluate, {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}]
This is generally the case with plotting functions, which almost always evaluate their arguments in a non-standard way.

Constructing a triadiagonal matrix in Mathematica where nonzero elements contain functions and variables

Suppose I want to construct a matrix A such that A[[i,i]]=f[x_,y_]+d[i], A[[i,i+1]]=u[i], A[[i+1,i]]=l[i], i=1,N . Say, f[x_,y_]=x^2+y^2.
How can I code this in Mathematica?
Additionally, if I want to integrate the first diagonal element of A, i.e. A[[1,1]] over x and y, both running from 0 to 1, how can I do that?
In[1]:= n = 4;
f[x_, y_] := x^2 + y^2;
A = Normal[SparseArray[{
{i_,i_}/;i>1 -> f[x,y]+ d[i],
{i_,j_}/;j-i==1 -> u[i],
{i_,j_}/;i-j==1 -> l[i-1],
{1, 1} -> Integrate[f[x,y]+d[1], {x,0,1}, {y,0,1}]},
{n, n}]]
Out[3]= {{2/3+d[1], l[1], 0, 0},
{u[1], x^2+y^2+ d[2], l[2], 0},
{0, u[2], x^2+y^2+d[3], l[3]},
{0, 0, u[3], x^2+y^2+d[4]}}
Band is tailored specifically for this:
myTridiagonalMatrix#n_Integer?Positive :=
SparseArray[
{ Band#{1, 1} -> f[x, y] + Array[d, n]
, Band#{1, 2} -> Array[u, n - 1]
, Band#{2, 1} -> Array[l, n - 1]}
, {n, n}]
Check it out (no need to define f, d, u, l):
myTridiagonalMatrix#5 // MatrixForm
Note that MatrixForm should not be part of a definition. For example, it's a bad idea to set A = (something) // MatrixForm. You will get a MatrixForm object instead of a table (= array of arrays) or a sparse array, and its only purpose is to be pretty-printed in FrontEnd. Trying to use MatrixForm in calculations will yield errors and will lead to unnecessary confusion.
Integrating the element at {1, 1}:
myTridiagonalMatrixWithFirstDiagonalElementIntegrated#n_Integer?Positive :=
MapAt[
Integrate[#, {x, 0, 1}, {y, 0, 1}]&
, myTridiagonalMatrix#n
, {1, 1}]
You may check it out without defining f or d, as well:
myTridiagonalMatrixWithFirstDiagonalElementIntegrated#5
The latter operation, however, looks suspicious. For example, it does not leave your matrix (or its corresponding linear system) invariant w.r.t. reasonable transformations. (This operation does not even preserve linearity of matrices.) You probably don't want to do it.
Comment on comment above: there's no need to define A[x_, y_] := … to Integrate[A[[1,1]], {x,0,1}, {y,0,1}]. Note that A[[1,1]] is totally different from A[1, 1]: the former is Part[A, 1, 1] which is a certain element of table A. A[1, 1] is a different expression: if A is some table then A[1, 1] is (that table)[1, 1], which is a valid expression but is normally considered meaningless.

ContourPlot: Styling contour lines

I can plot the curve corresponding to an implicit equation:
ContourPlot[x^2 + (2 y)^2 == 1, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}]
But I cannot find a way to color the contour line depending on the location of the point. More precisely, I want to color the curve in 2 colors, depending on whether x² + y² < k or not.
I looked into ColorFunction but this is only for coloring the region between the contour lines.
And I was not able to get ContourStyle to accept a location-dependent expression.
you could use RegionFunction to split the plot in two:
Show[{
ContourPlot[x^2 + (2 y)^2 == 1, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1},
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, x^2 + y^2 < .5],
ContourStyle -> Red],
ContourPlot[x^2 + (2 y)^2 == 1, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1},
RegionFunction -> Function[{x, y, z}, x^2 + y^2 >= .5],
ContourStyle -> Green]
}]
Maybe something like this
pl = ContourPlot[x^2 + (2 y)^2 == 1, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1}]
points = pl[[1, 1]];
colorf[{x_, y_}] := ColorData["Rainbow"][Rescale[x, {-1, 1}]]
pl /. {Line[a_] :> {Line[a, VertexColors -> colorf /# points[[a]]]}}
which produces
This does not provide a direct solution to your question but I believe it is of interest.
It is possible to color a line progressively from within ContourPlot using what I think is an undocumented format, namely a Function that surrounds the Line object. Internally this is similar to what Heike did, but her solution uses the vertex numbers to then find the matching coordinates allowing styling by spacial position, rather than position along the line.
ContourPlot[
x^2 + (2 y)^2 == 1, {x, -1, 1}, {y, -1, 1},
BaseStyle -> {12, Thickness[0.01]},
ContourStyle ->
(Line[#, VertexColors -> ColorData["DeepSeaColors"] /# Rescale##] & ## # &)
]
For some of the less adept, less information is more. Time was wasted browsing for a way to set the color of contour lines until I chanced onto Roelig's edited answer. I just needed ContourStyle[].
Show[{ContourPlot[
x^2 + 2 x y Tan[2 # ] - y^2 == 1, {x, -3, 3}, {y, -3.2, 3.2},
ContourStyle -> Green] & /# Range[-Pi/4, Pi/4, .1]},
Background -> Black]

Working with implicit functions in Mathematica

Can I plot and deal with implicit functions in Mathematica?
for example :-
x^3 + y^3 = 6xy
Can I plot a function like this?
ContourPlot[x^3 + y^3 == 6*x*y, {x, -2.7, 5.7}, {y, -7.5, 5}]
Two comments:
Note the double equals sign and the multiplication symbols.
You can find this exact input via the WolframAlpha interface. This interface is more forgiving and accepts your input almost exactly - although, I did need to specify that I wanted some type of plot.
Yes, using ContourPlot.
And it's even possible to plot the text x^3 + y^3 = 6xy along its own curve, by replacing the Line primitive with several Text primitives:
ContourPlot[x^3 + y^3 == 6 x y, {x, -4, 4}, {y, -4, 4},
Background -> Black, PlotPoints -> 7, MaxRecursion -> 1, ImageSize -> 500] /.
{
Line[s_] :>
Map[
Text[Style["x^3+y^3 = 6xy", 16, Hue[RandomReal[]]], #, {0, 0}, {1, 1}] &,
s]
}
Or you can animate the equation along the curve, like so:
res = Table[ Normal[
ContourPlot[x^3 + y^3 == 6 x y, {x, -4, 4}, {y, -4, 4},
Background -> Black,
ImageSize -> 600]] /.
{Line[s_] :> {Line[s],
Text[Style["x^3+y^3 = 6xy", 16, Red], s[[k]], {0, 0},
s[[k + 1]] - s[[k]]]}},
{k, 1, 448, 3}];
ListAnimate[res]
I'm guessing this is what you need:

ContourPlot[x^3 + y^3 == 6 x*y, {x, -10, 10}, {y, -10, 10}]

plot a multiple rule function in mathematica

How can I write the code for a function (complex contour) similar to this in Mathematica:
I am not exactly sure what c is, but I assumed it was a number between 0 and 1 meaning the height of the incoming straight line. So maybe somehting like this would suit your needs?
c = 0.7;
t0 = ArcSin[c];
PolarPlot[If[Abs[t] < t0, Abs[Sin[t0]/Sin[t]], 1], {t, -\[Pi], \[Pi]}]
The most direct way is to use graphics primatives
(although I think I prefer Felix's PolarPlot solution)
With[{q = Pi/6},
Graphics[{Circle[{0, 0}, 1, {q, 2 Pi - q}],
Arrowheads[{{.05, .8}}],
Arrow[{{Cos[q] + 2, Sin[q]}, {Cos[q], Sin[q]}}],
Arrow[{{Cos[q], Sin[-q]}, {Cos[q] + 2, Sin[-q]}}],
FontSize -> Medium, Text["\[ScriptCapitalC]", {2, Sin[q]}, {0, -2}]},
Axes -> True, PlotRange -> {{-4, 6}, {-4, 4}}]]
I guess if you want the actual function for contour, then maybe something like
contour[t_, t0_: (5 Pi/6)] := Piecewise[{
{Exp[I (t + Pi)], -t0 < t < t0},
{t - t0 + Exp[I (t0 + Pi)], t >= t0},
{-t - t0 + Exp[-I (t0 + Pi)], t <= -t0}}]
ParametricPlot[Through[{Re, Im}[contour[t]]], {t, -8, 8}, PlotPoints -> 30]
And to add arrows to this plot, I guess you'd have to add them in manually (using Epilog or the drawing tools) or use one of the packages that modifies the built-in plots.

in mathematica, how to make initial condition as a variable in ndsolve?

i'd like to have something like this
w[w1_] :=
NDSolve[{y''[x] + y[x] == 2, y[0] == w1, y'[0] == 0}, y, {x, 0, 30}]
this seems like it works better but i think i'm missing smtn
w := NDSolve[{y''[x] + y[x] == 2, y[0] == w1, y'[0] == 0},
y, {x, 0, 30}]
w2 = Table[y[x] /. w, {w1, 0.0, 1.0, 0.5}]
because when i try to make a table, it doesn't work:
Table[Evaluate[y[x] /. w2], {x, 10, 30, 10}]
i get an error:
ReplaceAll::reps: {<<1>>[x]} is neither a list of replacement rules nor a valid dispatch table, and so cannot be used for replacing. >>
ps: is there a better place to ask questions like that? mathematica doesn't have supported forums and only has mathGroup e-mail list. it would be nice if stackoverflow would have more specific mathematica tags like simplify, ndsolve, plot manipulation
There are a lot of ways to do that. One is:
w[w1_] := NDSolve[{y''[x] + y[x] == 2,
y'[0] == 0}, y[0] == w1,
y[x], {x, 0, 30}];
Table[Table[{w1,x,y[x] /. w[w1]}, {w1, 0., 1.0, 0.5}]/. x -> u, {u, 10, 30, 10}]
Output:
{{{0., 10, {3.67814}}, {0.5, 10, {3.25861}}, {1.,10, {2.83907}}},
{{0., 20, {1.18384}}, {0.5, 20, {1.38788}}, {1.,20, {1.59192}}},
{{0., 30, {1.6915}}, {0.5, 30, {1.76862}}, {1.,30, {1.84575}}}}
I see you already chose an answer, but I want to toss this solution for families of linear equations up. Specifically, this is to model a slight variation on Lotka-Volterra.
(*Put everything in a module to scope x and y correctly.*)
Module[{x, y},
(*Build a function to wrap NDSolve, and pass it
the initial conditions and range.*)
soln[iCond_, tRange_, scenario_] :=
NDSolve[{
x'[t] == -scenario[[1]] x[t] + scenario[[2]] x[t]*y[t],
y'[t] == (scenario[[3]] - scenario[[4]]*y[t]) -
scenario[[5]] x[t]*y[t],
x[0] == iCond[[1]],
y[0] == iCond[[2]]
},
{x[t], y[t]},
{t, tRange[[1]], tRange[[2]]}
];
(*Build a plot generator*)
GeneratePlot[{iCond_, tRange_, scen_,
window_}] :=
(*Find a way to catch errors and perturb iCond*)
ParametricPlot[
Evaluate[{x[t], y[t]} /. soln[iCond, tRange, scen]],
{t, tRange[[1]], tRange[[2]]},
PlotRange -> window,
PlotStyle -> Thin, LabelStyle -> Medium
];
(*Call the plot generator with different starting conditions*)
graph[scenario_, tRange_, window_, points_] :=
{plots = {};
istep = (window[[1, 2]] - window[[1, 1]])/(points[[1]]+1);
jstep = (window[[2, 2]] - window[[2, 1]])/(points[[2]]+1);
Do[Do[
AppendTo[plots, {{i, j}, tRange, scenario, window}]
, {j, window[[2, 1]] + jstep, window[[2, 2]] - jstep, jstep}
], {i, window[[1, 1]] + istep, window[[1, 2]] - istep, istep}];
Map[GeneratePlot, plots]
}
]
]
We can then use Animate (or table, but animate is awesome)
tRange = {0, 4};
window = {{0, 8}, {0, 6}};
points = {5, 5}
Animate[Show[graph[{3, 1, 8, 2, 0.5},
{0, t}, window, points]], {t, 0.01, 5},
AnimationRunning -> False]
