Thinning up a pointList with distance-criterion?

Angsüsser shared this question 3 years ago

Answered

I have a solution of 2-dim ODE and constructed points in phase-space with:

p=First(numericalIntegral1, Length(numericalIntegral1))

f=First(numericalIntegral2, Length(numericalIntegral2))

pf=Zip((y(aa), y(bb)), aa, p, bb, f)

pf has about 1000 points, some of these are very dense (direction-field is "low" there) some are not. To apply the Spline-method to the pointlist pf is out of question, so I have to thin up "pf" so that the points have almost the same distance to each other.

The algorithm I thought of (only a proposal - any other algorithm is appreciated)

1) Use pf[1] as reference point R

2) Search all the points of "pf" with distance (R,pf[i])>d and distance(R,pf[i_m])=Minimum

(a kind of supremum: smallest upper bound in pf)

3) Remove all points from "pf" with distance (R,pf[i])<=d

4) Use pf[i_m] as R now and goto 2)

until pf is {}

But I do not see how to implement this in Geogebra-Script.

Any idea? Thank you for thinking about it!

yo uso otro procedimiento que se me ocurrió y que creo que GG lo aguanta bien y que es más facil de controlar y claro en la vista algebraica

creo que el comando funcion está infrautilizado

OK - a good idea to use the freehand tool - I did not even know that it exists. It's not an algorithm - but why not use my own brain? Saves a lot of thinking.

Thanx mathmagic

One solution more.

Based on a transformed Pathparameter (transformed from vertex to length)

How can you handle the freehand-tool in such an accurate way? I see no deviation to the original curve?

If I handle this tool with my mouse - it looks like a parkinson patient do drawing exercises!

1) That is precisely what I was looking for

2) "One solution more" - you are loving understatement! This solution is ingenious in my point of view and

3) to understand why it is working I shall have to do a lot of brain-work. The idea of a "density-norm" is fantastic clever.

Thank you that you thought about it - at the end it is my problem not yours - thanx

Sorry, a bug:

The last segment (from end to start) is not included in the length.

Correction: new object "Len" and use in "DensityNorm".

I thought of that: you used Polyline for the open path and Polygon for the closed path (in this case the difference is not important at all) - to call it a bug? At the most a little bit inaccurate. The intelligence is in the idea!

Thanks,

My bugs are no problem for me, although I try to avoid them. But all programs always have some bugs. Only some of them you don't see immediately.

si deseas un conjunto de puntos, no equidistantes, sino en tiempos regulares puedes añadir la instruccion Sequence(e(t), t, t_0, t_f,0.3) en mi archivo

ahí se observa en que periodos de tiempos son más estables las poblaciones

OK - that is clear enough. But how can you handle the "freehand"-tool in such an accurate way?

freehand is the type of object in geogebra. I only build the function(begin,end, values of y coords of points in numericalintegral) look at help of function() command

Clever - I did not know that command. In the construction protocol this "function command" was denoted by

"freehand(x)" - so I believed you used the freehand tool from the menu!

@mathmagic&rami

Thank you folks - I have learned a lot - keywords "PathParameter" and how to use it with Polyline, "freehand-tool" in context with "Function-command" and more!

Thank you!
