Region Moments

Support of polynomial moments of a region in Version 11 provides powerful and flexible tools to compare, classify, and compute properties over regions.

Symbolically calculate moments of regions.

Suppose a region with unknown parameters is provided, along with the knowledge that all zero-order and first-order moments are 1. Find the numerical values of each parameter.

Define the region and the assumptions on its parameters.

$Assumptions = r > 0 && x > 0 && y > 0 && z > 0;
In[5]:=
Click for copyable input
cyl = Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {x, y, z}}, r];

Calculate its zero-order and first-order moments.

In[6]:=

cfs = {{0, 0, 0}, {1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1}};
In[7]:=
Click for copyable input
{m0, m100, m010, m001} = Table[RegionMoment[cyl, c], {c, cfs}]
Out[7]=

Solve for the parameters, given that all zero-order and first-order moments are 1.

In[8]:=
Click for copyable input
sol = Solve[{m0 == 1, m100 == 1, m010 == 1, m001 == 1, $Assumptions}]
Out[8]=

Obtain the region.
