Mathematica Asked on January 17, 2021
This is a recurrent topic: replacing subexpressions. See for instance:
v = {v1, v2, v3};
expr = v/Norm[v] // Simplify[#, Assumptions -> _ [Element] Reals] &
(* {v1/Sqrt[v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2],
v2/Sqrt[v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2],
v3/Sqrt[v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2]} *)
Is it possible to go from the developed form of expr
back to $v/|v|$?
Most solutions on this website (such as CoefficientArrays
) rely on a polynomial form, which is not the case here. Specifying the rule manually (such as Sqrt[v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2] -> n
does not help, which is not surprising since Mathematica handles the expression differently from what it looks like.
This one is a simple example but of course, I would like the solution to work on more intrincated cases, such as:
{{-(v1^2/(v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2)^(3/2)) + 1/Sqrt[v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2],
-((v1 v2)/(v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2)^(3/2)), -((v1 v3)/(v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2)^(3/2))}
, {-((v1 v2)/(v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2)^(3/2)), -(v2^2/(v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2)^(3/2))
+ 1/Sqrt[v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2], -((v2 v3)/(v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2)^(3/2))}
, {-((v1 v3)/(v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2)^(3/2)), -((v2 v3)/(v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2)^(
3/2)), -(v3^2/(v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2)^(3/2)) + 1/Sqrt[v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2]}}
which is equal to the much simpler
$$ dfrac{1}{|v|}Big(I_3 – dfrac{v}{|v|}otimes dfrac{v}{|v|} Big)$$
Try this:
expr /. a_/Sqrt[v1^2 + v2^2 + v3^2] -> a/n
(* {v1/n, v2/n, v3/n} *)
Have fun!
