Hi:
   I try to encode a hash table in the name of list.
successors[{s_Integer, {{nhu_Integer, nhd_Integer}, {nlu_Integer,
     nld_Integer}}}] := {
  {1, {{nhu + 1, nhd}, {nlu, nld}}},
  {1, {{nhu, nhd + 1}, {nlu, nld}}},
  {2, {{nhu, nhd}, {nlu + 1, nld}}},
  {2, {{nhu, nhd}, {nlu, nld + 1}}}
  }
successors[{1, {{2, 3}, {0, 2}}}]
{{1, {{3, 3}, {0, 2}}}, {1, {{2, 4}, {0, 2}}}, {2, {{2, 3}, {1, 2}}},
{2, {{2, 3}, {0, 3}}}}
I want to find the price of successor nodes given the price of current
node
nextprice[p_, n_] := price[p] Total[Flatten[(n[[2]] - p[[2]]) {{\
[Delta]hu, \[Delta]hd}, {\[Delta]lu, \[Delta]ld}}]]
It works for single node:
price[{1, {{2, 3}, {0, 2}}}] = 100
price[{2, {{2, 3}, {0, 3}}}] = nextprice[{1, {{2, 3}, {0, 2}}}, {2,
{{2, 3}, {0, 3}}}]
90.9091
However, it doesn't work when I tried to map it out:
input: nextprice[{1, {{0, 0}, {0, 0}}}, #] & /@ successors[{1, {{0,
0}, {0, 0}}}]
output: {120., 83.3333, 110., 90.9091}
input: price[{1, {{1, 0}, {0, 0}}}]
output: price[{1, {{1, 0}, {0, 0}}}]
I cannot assign the price to each successor nodes. Does anybody know
what is wrong with it? thanks alot.
