Contributed by: E. Chan-López, Jaime Manuel Cabrera & Jorge Mauricio Paulin Fuentes

ResourceFunction["AllDependentVariables"][expr,ivar]

gives all variables dependent on ivar within a given expr.

Details and Options

ResourceFunction["AllDependentVariables"] threads over lists in the first argument.

Examples

Basic Examples (1)

Use AllDependentVariables to get the expression that matches to be a mathematical solution:

Out[1]=

Scope (2)

Use AllDependentVariables to get the expressions that match dependent variable:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Use AllDependentVariables with a list of complicated expressions:

In[3]:=

$ResourceFunction["AllDependentVariables", ResourceVersion->"1.0.0"][{Exp[x[t, s]] + 2 w[t, s], 1/2 m2 (x2'[t, s]^2 + y2'[t, s]^2 + z2'[t, s]^2)}, {t, s}]$

Out[3]=

Applications (3)

Use AllDependentVariables to define a simple function to compute the equations of motion for a given Hamiltonian:

$HamiltonianEquations[H_, time_Symbol] := Module[{sols, classcoordsprev, classcoords, momentaeqns, velseqns}, sols = ResourceFunction["AllDependentVariables"][H, time]; classcoordsprev = GatherBy[sols, FreeQ[Characters[ToString[Head[#]]], "p"] &]; classcoords = Which[Length[classcoordsprev] == 1, Join @@ List[classcoordsprev, Transpose[ Map[ToExpression@*StringJoin, Map[DeleteCases[#, "p"] &@*Characters@*ToString, Transpose@classcoordsprev]]]], Length[classcoordsprev] == 2 && Length[classcoordsprev[[1]]] === Length[classcoordsprev[[2]]], classcoordsprev, Length[classcoordsprev] == 2 && Length[classcoordsprev[[1]]] =!= Length[classcoordsprev[[2]]], Join @@ List[{classcoordsprev[[1]]}, {Transpose[ Map[ToExpression@*StringJoin, Map[DeleteCases[#, "p"] &@*Characters@*ToString, Transpose@classcoordsprev[[1]]]]]}]]; momentaeqns = Thread[D[classcoords[[1]], time] == Simplify[Map[-D[H, #] &, classcoords[[2]]]]]; velseqns = Thread[D[classcoords[[2]], time] == Simplify[Map[D[H, #] &, classcoords[[1]]]]]; Flatten[Transpose[List[velseqns, momentaeqns]]]]$

Use HamiltonianEquations with the Hamiltonian for the spherical pendulum:

Use HamiltonianEquations with the Hamiltonian for the PUMA-Like Robot:

In[9]:=

$H2 = g (m2 z2 + m3 z3) + px2[t]^2/(2 m2) + px3[t]^2/(2 m3) + py2[t]^2/(2 m2) + py3[t]^2/(2 m3) + pz2[t]^2/(2 m2) + pz3[t]^2/( 2 m3) + p\[Theta]2[t]^2/(2 A2) + p\[Theta]3[t]^2/(2 A3) + p\[Psi]1[ t]^2/(2 (C1 + C2 Cos[\[Theta]2[t]]^2 + C3 Cos[\[Theta]3[t]]^2 + B2 Sin[\[Theta]2[t]]^2 + B3 Sin[\[Theta]3[t]]^2));$
