Hi Group,
Is there any way to produce a list without the outer braces?
For example how do you produce:
{x1,1},{x2,1},{x3,1}
from
{{x1,1},{x2,1},{x3,1}}
My real problem is to save a lot of typing in the following expression
where 'n' either is a fixed number or a variable one.
FindMinimum[
Sum[x[i],{i,1,n}]
,{x[1],1} , {x[2],1} , ... , {x[n],1}
]
(this problem is not well posed, but it illustrates what I need).
Happy Computing,
Nikolaj
