Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the challenges faced in plotting a figure related to graphene distribution using Mathematica, specifically addressing the equations and variables involved in the process. Participants explore technical aspects of the equations, including the use of elliptic integrals and variable definitions.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation
- Debate/contested
- Mathematical reasoning
Main Points Raised
- One participant expresses difficulty in plotting a figure from an article using Mathematica, indicating a potential issue with the provided equations.
- Another participant notes that the definition of ##g(\bar\omega^2)## varies depending on the value of ##\bar\omega^2## and emphasizes that the figure should be plotted as a function of ##\bar\omega^2##, not ##\bar\omega##.
- A participant mentions successfully plotting without using elliptic integrals, while acknowledging the article's reference to them.
- There is a suggestion to define a new variable ##w2## to correspond to ##\bar\omega^2## in the equation for g7.
- Concerns are raised about missing components in the argument of the elliptic integral, specifically the cube in ##(2-3\bar\omega^2)^3##.
- Another participant points out that the argument of the elliptic integral should be corrected and that the plotting should be done with respect to ##w## instead of ##w^2##.
- One participant asserts their familiarity with Mathematica and expresses frustration with the responses, stating they have already tried various approaches without success.
- Another participant challenges this claim, suggesting that the original poster has not fully explored the solutions provided and emphasizes the importance of validating the code before seeking help.
- There is a contention regarding the validity of the original code and the assertion that there may be a bug in Mathematica or the article.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on the validity of the original code and the potential existence of bugs in the software or article. There is no consensus on the best approach to resolve the plotting issue, and multiple competing perspectives remain regarding the correct application of the equations.
Contextual Notes
Participants highlight limitations in the original code, including incorrect variable definitions and the need for specific ranges for ##\bar\omega^2##. The discussion reflects unresolved mathematical steps and dependencies on the definitions provided in the article.
