Zoom

  

zoom within the last plot computed using 'Evalf' related to concatenated Taylor expansions used when performing numerical computations of Heun or Appell functions

Calling Sequence

Zoom()

Zoom([n, m])

Parameters

[n, m]

-

(optional) list with two numbers, where  represents the origin of the returned plot and  indicates the width to the left and to the right of  where the plot is being zoomed. The default value is [1, 1].

Description

• 

The Zoom command is used to zoom within the last plot computed using Evalf using a concatenated Taylor expansions approach when performing numerical evaluations of Heun or Appell functions. This command is useful to understand how the method of a sequence of concatenated Taylor expansions work.

• 

When called with the extra argument [n, m],  represents the origin of the returned plot and  indicates the width to the left and to the right of  where the plot is being zoomed. Calling Zoom with no arguments is the same as calling it with the optional argument [1, 1].

Examples

  

Initialization: Load the command and package and set the display of special functions in output to typeset mathematical notation (textbook notation):

(1)

(2)

Consider one of the special values of AppellF1, a case where the function can be represented by a 2F1 hypergeometric function

(3)

(4)

The left-hand side is AppellF1 in inert form, to avoid the automatic representation in terms of 2F1 functions, while the right-hand side involves only a hypergeometric 2F1 function. Evaluate this expression numerically

(5)

Compute the same but now using a concatenated Taylor series expansion, and displaying a plot showing the centers and path of the Taylor expansions used and no other information

(6)

Zoom closer to the evaluation point , extending 1/50 to the left and right of

In this Taylor approach, each expansion around a point is used to reach up to 95/100 of the radius of convergence before starting another expansion. Reduce that to 1/2, compute internally at Digits = 50 (but return as if computing with Digits = 10)

(7)

Use Zoom to zoom closer to the point

Compatibility

• 

The MathematicalFunctions[Evalf][Zoom] command was introduced in Maple 2017.
