How to substitute values from a list into a function?












3












$begingroup$


I was hoping to take pairs of numbers from a list and substitute them into a function. So if my list was



list = {{1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}}


and my function was



function = a x^b


The output I'm hoping to get is



result =1x^2 + 3x^4 + 5x^6


How would I best do this?

          This is not a Function:



          function = a x^b


          But this is:



          function = {a,b} [Function] a x^b


          You can Apply it to each element of



          list = {{1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}}


          with



          function @@@ list 



          {x^3, 3 x^5, 5 x^7}




          and sum it up with Total:



          Total[ function @@@ list ]



          x^3 + 3 x^5 + 5 x^7

            Why would you do 'function = {a,b} [Function] a x^b' instead of function[a_, b_, x_] = a*x^b?

            Because [Function] is easily entered with the escape sequence esc f n esc . Also Function defines a pure function while function[a_, b_, x_] = a*x^b defines a replacement rule. However, they act the same way - most of the time. So it is a matter of taste.

            Another way, perhaps easier on the eyes. Use a pattern to deconstruct the pairs in a function definition.



            term[{a_, b_}] := a x^b


            Then, Map it to the list.



            Total[term /@ list]
            (* x^2 + 3 x^4 + 5 x^6 *)

              Inner[#1 x^#2 &, Sequence @@ Transpose@list, Plus]

              One could expand this a bit to allow for different variables:



              Clear[f]
              f[coefflist_][var_] := Inner[#1 var^#2 &, Sequence @@ Transpose@coefflist, Plus]


              so that



              f[list][x]



              x^2 + 3 x^4 + 5 x^6




              but then:



              f[list][t]

                    Because [Function] is easily entered with the escape sequence esc f n esc . Also Function defines a pure function while function[a_, b_, x_] = a*x^b defines a replacement rule. However, they act the same way - most of the time. So it is a matter of taste.

                    Why would you do 'function = {a,b} [Function] a x^b' instead of function[a_, b_, x_] = a*x^b?

                          Another way, perhaps easier on the eyes. Use a pattern to deconstruct the pairs in a function definition.



                          term[{a_, b_}] := a x^b


                          Then, Map it to the list.

                                      One could expand this a bit to allow for different variables:

                                      f[coefflist_][var_] := Inner[#1 var^#2 &, Sequence @@ Transpose@coefflist, Plus]


                                      so that



                                      f[list][x]



                                      x^2 + 3 x^4 + 5 x^6




                                      but then:



                                      f[list][t]



                                      t^2 + 3 t^4 + 5 t^6
