She made me understand that I have math gaps. I'm going to check out math sites to try and figure out what L-infinity norm is. I have cut out! 2020-12-15 11:00:00 +0200 asked a question Square, cube, octahedron, equations We know that $|x| + |y| - 1 = 0$ is the equation of a square having its vertices on the axes. I asked to represent the equation $|x| + |y| + |z| - 1 - 0$, believing to obtain a cube in space. But I obtain an octahedron. Why? And how do you get a cube? # with SageMath 7.3 var('x, y, z') f = abs(x) + abs(y) + abs(z) - 1 implicit_plot3d(f, (x, -1, 1), (y, -1, 1), (z, -1, 1), color='aquamarine ')  2020-08-26 15:54:33 +0200 received badge ● Teacher (source) 2020-08-26 15:54:33 +0200 received badge ● Necromancer (source) 2020-08-26 10:18:15 +0200 answered a question output.txt not updated This problem has already made me bitch a few times until I found a solution: I copy the script to a new cell, make the modifications and there I get a new "full_output.txt file" which takes into account my modifications.

I did a restoration of my previous work to the problem caused by the use of LaTeX, which I do not need, and everything is back to normal. Sorry for your lost time. 2019-01-19 23:12:50 +0200 commented question Problem with boring message Good evening, I do not use Latex.After being seen on the site ctan.org I decided that I did not need Latex. I also tried bits of codes like var ('z ') print latex (z ^ 12)  to see what that gave. As said in my request I always get the following message. Error: PDFLaTeX does not seem to be installed. Download it from ctan.org and try again. None What is serious now is that if I activate cells that already contain code that worked I still get this message and nothing else. 2019-01-19 17:45:55 +0200 asked a question Problem with boring message In one of my worksheets I wanted to test Latex. I was directed to ctan.org After reading a bit about it, I decided that I did not need it. But since this test, whenever one of my exercises launches I get the following message and nothing else. How to get rid of this? Thanks in advance for your time. Error: PDFLaTeX does not seem to be installed. Download it from ctan.org and try again. None 2018-12-06 09:43:04 +0200 commented answer Speed a function with hex grid and primes numbers I did two more tests, here is the result: lim DP3 time in s 60001 1057 18 440 90001 1454 37 690 ! 100001 -> the Sage software stops after a few seconds without an error.  I think the matrix has become too big. We must find another method of resolution, either mathematical or computer. I'll think about it. Anyway thank Mr. Lelièvre you for your help that allowed me to learn new concepts about prime numbers. 2018-12-05 10:52:19 +0200 commented answer Speed a function with hex grid and primes numbers I'm going to run the program for more value from "lim" quite to running my computer all night. I will provide the results later. 2018-12-05 10:47:09 +0200 commented answer Speed a function with hex grid and primes numbers I tested your second idea in more depth. As soon as we increase the value of "lim" it is your second idea that is the most powerful. lim DP3 time in s 1001 78 4.6 2001 119 17.5 3001 152 38 4001 180 69 5001 208 108 6001 240 157 8001 288 282 16001 433 1151 30001 644 4077  The curve that adjusts the pairs of points (DP3, time) seems parabolic or exponential. So it's not pleasant since you have to reach a DP3 = 2016. Rather than the brute force of the computer, there must be a simpler mathematical process that goes beyond me. It is simply frustrating to feel incapable of not knowing the right simplification techniques. Thank you 2018-12-04 00:10:08 +0200 commented answer Speed a function with hex grid and primes numbers Thanks for your answer but your idea is slower. I have made a little try. with my code: dp = len( [t for t in d if is_prime(abs(n-t))] ) I found an answer after 7.8 s with your code: dp = len( [t for t in d if (n-t).abs().is_pseudoprime()] ) I found an answer after 10.4 s 2018-11-30 17:31:22 +0200 asked a question Speed a function with hex grid and primes numbers Hello, I am trying to solve the question 175 of the Turing Challenge. We create a network of hexagonal tiles containing the following integers 1, 2, 3, 4, ... I represent this network in a square matrix by placing the number 1 in the center of the matrix. We must calculate the difference between each tile numbered n and each of its six neighbors, we will call DP (n) the number of these differences # which are a prime number. My problem is this: I have to calculate a lot of times the function below. We save in DP3 the n which are surrounded by exactly 3 prime numbers. Here is all my script. My idea is this: every time I have completed a turn I can calculate the DP3 of the previous turn. The program stops when len (DP3) = 2016. As the spirals become bigger and bigger you have to make more and more calls to the DP3 () search function. My question is: is it possible to speed up this function? PS: I'm sorry for my bad english. I also note that I am a beginner in programming. # TURING 175 - Tuiles hexagonales (essai VII) DERNIER 26/11/18 OK ma!s trop lent # Une tuile hexagonale portant le numéro 1 est entourée d'un anneau de six tuiles numérotées de 2 à 7, la première tuile de l'anneau étant # posée à midi et en tournant dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre. # De nouveaux anneaux sont ajoutés de la même façon, les anneaux suivants étant numérotés 8 à 19, de 20 à 37, de 38 à 61, et ainsi de # suite.

I think I understand it and do exercises on this subject. Actually print q in my code would have put me on the path. But I also believe that I still have a lot of work to do in the field of SAGE. I have downloaded the free book "Calcul Mathématique avec Sage- Alexandre Casamayou Nathann Cohen ....) and I will study particularly the chapters 11 and 7 that will be very useful, I think, to understand your explanation. Not a problem because I'm retired - I'm 78 years old - and I enjoy solving the little problems that I encounter on the internet (like Euler Project, Turing Challenge, ...) Again thank you for your answer.

If I ask to factorize e = (x+1)^3(x+2)^3(x+3)^3 everything is ok. But when I ask to factorize e = (x+1)^3(x+2)^3(x+3)^3*(x+4)^3 the result surprises me and I do not understand why! Here is my script and the results. var('q') e = (x+1)^3*(x+2)^3*(x+3)^3 print e print "solve: ", solve(e,x) # R = ComplexField(16)['x'] # 16 donne 3 décimales et 32 donne 8 décimales q = R(e) print "factor: ", factor(q) print e = (x+1)^3*(x+2)^3*(x+3)^3*(x+4)^3 print e print "solve: ", solve(e,x) # R = ComplexField(16)['x'] # 16 donne 3 décimales q = R(e) print factor(q) print # R = ComplexField(32)['x'] # 32 donne 8 décimales q = R(e) print factor(q)  Now the results (x + 3)^3*(x + 2)^3*(x + 1)^3 solve: [ x == -3, x == -2, x == -1 ] factor: (x + 1.000)^3 * (x + 2.000)^3 * (x + 3.000)^3 (x + 4)^3*(x + 3)^3*(x + 2)^3*(x + 1)^3 solve: [ x == -4, x == -3, x == -2, x == -1 ] (x + 0.8452 - 0.1196*I) * (x + 0.8452 + 0.1196*I) * (x + 1.115 - 0.4330*I) * (x + 1.115 + 0.4330*I) * (x + 1.764 - 1.048*I) * (x + 1.764 + 1.048*I) * (x + 2.528) * (x + 2.988 - 1.554*I) * (x + 2.988 + 1.554*I) * (x + 4.457 - 1.231*I) * (x + 4.457 + 1.231*I) * (x + 5.134) (x + 1.00000000)^3 * (x + 2.00000000)^3 * (x + 3.00000000)^3 * (x + 4.00000000)^3  As you can see when I the use of ComplexField(16) give me 12 roots (10 complex ans 2 false reals for me).This is totally different of ComplexField(32) which give the right answer.

I do not understand why RR (math.sqrt (n)) is 100 times faster than N (sqrt (n)). Where can I find an explanation (as simple as possible)?

Thank you for your feedback. They remind me of my early years (I am 77 years old) when I tried to understand and assimilate the theorems of Fermat and Wilson. At the time I found it very difficult. Now, with a computer, as it is possible to experiment I try to solve problems (found on Euler and Turing project sites). If you could advise me a book or documents dealing with the simplest way possible by examples I will be grateful. 2017-07-28 00:37:44 +0200 asked a question how accelerate this simple program Hello everybody.
