How to draw graph of Gauss function? - plot

Gauss function has an infinite number of jump discontinuities at x = 1/n, for positive integers.
I want to draw diagram of Gauss function.
Using Maxima cas I can draw it with simple command :
f(x):= 1/x - floor(1/x); plot2d(f(x),[x,0,1]);
but the result is not good ( near x=0 it should be like here)
Also Maxima claims:
plot2d: expression evaluates to non-numeric value somewhere in plotting
range.
I can define picewise function ( jump discontinuities at x = 1/n, for positive integers )
so I tried :
define( g(x), for i:2 thru 20 step 1 do if (x=i) then x else (1/x) - floor(1/x));
but it don't works.
I can also use chebyshew polynomials to aproximate function ( like in : A Graduate Introduction to Numerical Methods From the Viewpoint of Backward Error Analysis by Corless, Robert, Fillion, Nicolas)
How to do it properly ?

For plot2d you can set the adapt_depth and nticks parameters. The default values are 5 and 29, respectively. set_plot_option() (i.e. with no argument) returns the current list of option values. If you increase adapt_depth and/or nticks, then plot2d will use more points for plotting. Perhaps that makes the figure look good enough.
Another way is to use the draw2d function (in the draw package) and explicitly tell it to plot each segment. We know that there are discontinuities at 1/k, for k = 1, 2, 3, .... We have to decide how many segments to plot. Let's say 20.
(%i6) load (draw) $
(%i7) f(x):= 1/x - floor(1/x) $
(%i8) makelist (explicit (f, x, 1/(k + 1), 1/k), k, 1, 20);
(%o8) [explicit(f,x,1/2,1),explicit(f,x,1/3,1/2),
explicit(f,x,1/4,1/3),explicit(f,x,1/5,1/4),
explicit(f,x,1/6,1/5),explicit(f,x,1/7,1/6),
explicit(f,x,1/8,1/7),explicit(f,x,1/9,1/8),
explicit(f,x,1/10,1/9),explicit(f,x,1/11,1/10),
explicit(f,x,1/12,1/11),explicit(f,x,1/13,1/12),
explicit(f,x,1/14,1/13),explicit(f,x,1/15,1/14),
explicit(f,x,1/16,1/15),explicit(f,x,1/17,1/16),
explicit(f,x,1/18,1/17),explicit(f,x,1/19,1/18),
explicit(f,x,1/20,1/19),explicit(f,x,1/21,1/20)]
(%i9) apply (draw2d, %);

I have made a list of segments with ending points. The result is :
and full code is here
Edit: smaller size with shorter lists in case of almost straight lines,
if (n>20) then iMax:10 else iMax : 250,
in the GivePart function

Plotting a one dimensional curve in Maple with implicitplot3d

I want to plot in Maple the solutions to the equation (x-y)^2+(1-z)^2=0.
However, implicitplot3d is not able to plot them, at least using the default arguments. Any recommendations?
I know a priori that the set of solutions is going to be a curve contained in a plane, because I want to plot solutions of equations of the form 'f(x,y)^2+(z-1)^2=0'. Where 'f(x,y)' is a polynomial.
If x, y, and z are all real then those two squares must both equal zero, and thus z=1.
In that case you can simply utilize the implicitplot command for a 2-D plot of f(x,y)=0, and if you wish you can transform that to a 3-D plot with z=1.
restart;
with(plots,display): with(plots,implicitplot):
with(plottools,transform):
eqn := (x-y)^2+(1-z)^2 = 0:
P2D := implicitplot(eval(eqn,z=1)):
display(transform((x,y)->[x,y,1])(P2D),
labels=[x,y,z]);
eqn := (x^2-y)^2+(1-z)^2 = 0:
P2D := plots:-implicitplot(eval(eqn,z=1)):
display(transform((x,y)->[x,y,1])(P2D),
labels=[x,y,z]);

Why my diagram plotted the exponential graph using scilab, xcos?

The diagram and the graph
I have made the above diagram and I placed the values of 1,1 as the parameters of INTEGRAL_f and GAINBLK_f respectively,and the other parameters are as default.
I have no idea why this graph is plotted since I thought that there should be no factor(s) which compose the exponential function.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing?
That's just math. You're have the system (here noted in the Laplace domain) y = 1/s*u and apply to it the positive feedback u = u+y, hence you end up (after solving for y) with the system y = 1/(s-1)*u, which is in state space, with your initial condition of integral block
x' = x+u,
x(0) = 1,
since you have no input, you obtain
x' = x,
x(0) = 1,
which yields x(t)=exp(t). If you want to see something interesting, just take 0 as initial condition of the integral block and add an input. However, if you keep this positive feedback your system is unstable...

Plot of function, DomainError. Exponentiation yielding a complex result requires a complex argument

Background
I read here that newton method fails on function x^(1/3) when it's inital step is 1. I am tring to test it in julia jupyter notebook.
I want to print a plot of function x^(1/3)
then I want to run code
f = x->x^(1/3)
D(f) = x->ForwardDiff.derivative(f, float(x))
x = find_zero((f, D(f)),1, Roots.Newton(),verbose=true)
Problem:
How to print chart of function x^(1/3) in range eg.(-1,1)
I tried
f = x->x^(1/3)
plot(f,-1,1)
I got
I changed code to
f = x->(x+0im)^(1/3)
plot(f,-1,1)
I got
I want my plot to look like a plot of x^(1/3) in google
However I can not print more than a half of it
That's because x^(1/3) does not always return a real (as in numbers) result or the real cube root of x. For negative numbers, the exponentiation function with some powers like (1/3 or 1.254 and I suppose all non-integers) will return a Complex. For type-stability requirements in Julia, this operation applied to a negative Real gives a DomainError. This behavior is also noted in Frequently Asked Questions section of Julia manual.
julia> (-1)^(1/3)
ERROR: DomainError with -1.0:
Exponentiation yielding a complex result requires a complex argument.
Replace x^y with (x+0im)^y, Complex(x)^y, or similar.
julia> Complex(-1)^(1/3)
0.5 + 0.8660254037844386im
Note that The behavior of returning a complex number for exponentiation of negative values is not really different than, say, MATLAB's behavior
>>> (-1)^(1/3)
ans =
0.5000 + 0.8660i
What you want, however, is to plot the real cube root.
You can go with
plot(x -> x < 0 ? -(-x)^(1//3) : x^(1//3), -1, 1)
to enforce real cube root or use the built-in cbrt function for that instead.
plot(cbrt, -1, 1)
It also has an alias ∛.
plot(∛, -1, 1)
F(x) is an odd function, you just use [0 1] as input variable.
The plot on [-1 0] is deducted as follow
The code is below
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# Function f
f = lambda x: x**(1/3)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
x1 = np.linspace(0, 1, num = 100)
x2 = np.linspace(-1, 0, num = 100)
ax.plot(x1, f(x1))
ax.plot(x2, -f(x1[::-1]))
ax.axhline(y=0, color='k')
ax.axvline(x=0, color='k')
plt.show()
Plot
That Google plot makes no sense to me. For x > 0 it's ok, but for negative values of x the correct result is complex, and the Google plot appears to be showing the negative of the absolute value, which is strange.
Below you can see the output from Matlab, which is less fussy about types than Julia. As you can see it does not agree with your plot.
From the plot you can see that positive x values give a real-valued answer, while negative x give a complex-valued answer. The reason Julia errors for negative inputs, is that they are very concerned with type stability. Having the output type of a function depend on the input value would cause a type instability, which harms performance. This is less of a concern for Matlab or Python, etc.
If you want a plot similar the above in Julia, you can define your function like this:
f = x -> sign(x) * abs(complex(x)^(1/3))
Edit: Actually, a better and faster version is
f = x -> sign(x) * abs(x)^(1/3)
Yeah, it looks awkward, but that's because you want a really strange plot, which imho makes no sense for the function x^(1/3).

Differentiating a scalar with respect to matrix

I have a scalar function which is obtained by iterative calculations. I wish to differentiate(find the directional derivative) of the values with respect to a matrix elementwise. How should I employ the finite difference approximation in this case. Does diff or gradient help in this case. Note that I only want numerical derivatives.
The typical code that I would work on is:
n=4;
for i=1:n
for x(i)=-2:0.04:4;
for y(i)=-2:0.04:4;
A(:,:,i)=[sin(x(i)), cos(y(i));2sin(x(i)),sin(x(i)+y(i)).^2];
B(:,:,i)=[sin(x(i)), cos(x(i));3sin(y(i)),cos(x(i))];
R(:,:,i)=horzcat(A(:,:,i),B(:,:,i));
L(i)=det(B(:,:,i)'*A(:,:,i)B)(:,:,i));
%how to find gradient of L with respect to x(i), y(i)
grad_L=tr((diff(L)/diff(R)')*(gradient(R))
endfor;
endfor;
endfor;
I know that the last part for grad_L would syntax error saying the dimensions don't match. How do I proceed to solve this. Note that gradient or directional derivative of a scalar functionf of a matrix variable X is given by nabla(f)=trace((partial f/patial(x_{ij})*X_dot where x_{ij} denotes elements of matrix and X_dot denotes gradient of the matrix X
Both your code and explanation are very confusing. You're using an iteration of n = 4, but you don't do anything with your inputs or outputs, and you overwrite everything. So I will ignore the n aspect for now since you don't seem to be making any use of it. Furthermore you have many syntactical mistakes which look more like maths or pseudocode, rather than any attempt to write valid Matlab / Octave.
But, essentially, you seem to be asking, "I have a function which for each (x,y) coordinate on a 2D grid, it calculates a scalar output L(x,y)", where the calculation leading to L involves multiplying two matrices and then getting their determinant. Here's how to produce such an array L:
X = -2 : 0.04 : 4;
Y = -2 : 0.04 : 4;
X_indices = 1 : length(X);
Y_indices = 1 : length(Y);
for Ind_x = X_indices
for Ind_y = Y_indices
x = X(Ind_x); y = Y(Ind_y);
A = [sin(x), cos(y); 2 * sin(x), sin(x+y)^2];
B = [sin(x), cos(x); 3 * sin(y), cos(x) ];
L(Ind_x, Ind_y) = det (B.' * A * B);
end
end
You then want to obtain the gradient of L, which, of course, is a vector output. Now, to obtain this, ignoring the maths you mentioned for a second, if you're basically trying to use the gradient function correctly, then you just use it directly onto L, and specify the grid X Y used for it to specify the spacings between the different elements in L, and collect its output as a two-element array, so that you capture both the x and y vector-components of the gradient:
[gLx, gLy] = gradient(L, X, Y);

Plotting a function with discrete x values in gnuplot

I need to plot a function f(x), where x is discrete set of values (in my case positive integers). I couldn't find a way to specify a step-size when using the range option and samples doesn't seem to be the right solution. Finally, I would like to approximate f(x) with a smooth function.
I don't quite understand why samples is not the solution to your problem.
If I want to plot sin(x) on an interval between 0 and 10 with a point at every integer I use
set xrange [0:10]
set sample 11
plot sin(x) w p
Obviously the number of samples is xmax-xmin+1 (10 - 0 + 1 = 11).
Finally to tackle the approximation problem have a look at this website which discusses linear least squares fitting. For simple linear interpolation use lp instead of p.
Or alternatively, play around with the ceil(x) or floor(x) functions.
Maybe have a look at this example:
http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/prob2.html
You can do:
plot [1:12] '+' u ($0):(f($0))
Where, $0 will be replaced by 1, 2, ..., 12. You can even do a smooth on this. For instance:
f(x)=sin(2*x)
plot [1:12] f(x) t 'the function'\
, '+' u ($0):(f($0)) t 'the points'\
, '+' u ($0):(f($0)) smooth cspline t 'the smooth'
