Comap

Comap[{f1,f2,},x]

gives {f1[x],f2[x],}.

Comap[fs,x,levelspec]

applies parts of fs specified by levelspec to x.

Comap[fs]

represents an operator form of Comap that can be applied to an expression.

Details and Options

  • Comap is typically used to apply each of a list of functions to a single common argument. »
  • Comap uses standard level specifications:
  • nlevels 1 through n
    Infinitylevels 1 through Infinity
    {n}level n only
    {n1,n2}levels n1 through n2
  • The default value for levelspec in Comap is {1}.
  • A positive level n consists of all parts of fs specified by n indices.
  • A negative level -n consists of all parts of fs with depth n.
  • Level 1 consists of numbers, symbols and other objects that do not have subparts.
  • Level 0 corresponds to the whole expression.
  • With the option setting Heads->True, Comap includes heads of expressions and their parts. »
  • Comap always effectively constructs a complete new expression and then evaluates it. »
  • The head of fs in Comap[fs,x,] need not be List.
  • If fs is an Association object, Comap[fs,x] applies the values in the association to x. »
  • Comap[fs][x] is equivalent to Comap[fs,x].
  • Parallelize[Comap[fs,x]] computes Comap[fs,x] in parallel on all subkernels. »

Basic Examples  (4)

Wrap x with each element of a list:

Use the operator form of Comap:

Comap on level 2:

Comap an expression under values in an association:

Scope  (6)

Use explicit pure functions:

Comap can be used on expressions with any head:

Comap on the second level of a nested Association:

Comap on level -1:

Positive and negative levels can be mixed:

Different heads at each level:

Options  (1)

Heads  (1)

By default, the expression is not comapped into the heads:

Applications  (3)

Apply a sum of functions by forming the sum of the individual applications:

Apply a differential operator:

Tabulate square roots of values without using auxiliary variables:

Properties & Relations  (9)

Comap wraps parts of an expression around another expression:

Map wraps an expression around parts of another expression:

Query[list] is equivalent to Comap[list]:

Query[assoc] is also equivalent to Comap[assoc]:

Through[p[f,g,][x]] is equivalent to Comap[p[f,g,],x]:

Compare this to the operator form of Comap:

Comap[p[f,g,],x] can be used even when p[f,g,][x] has a value:

When p[f,g,][x] has a value, Through cannot be used:

Comap[{f1,f2,},x] is equivalent to Map[f|->f[x],{f1,f2,}] when the fi have no attributes:

Comap can apply parts inside held expressions to an expression without allowing evaluation to proceed:

Use ReleaseHold to allow evaluation to proceed:

If only some arguments are held, only those arguments will not evaluate further:

Use Unevaluated to apply a list of functions to an expression without evaluating it first:

The expression is evaluated first by default:

Use Unevaluated to comap an expression into the parts of an expression without evaluating it first:

The expression is evaluated first by default:

Comap can be parallelized automatically:

Possible Issues  (1)

Comap by default starts at level 1, so does not apply the whole expression to the expression:
