I would like to to turn into a multi variable function of these variables.

{ω0, α00, α01, α02, α10, \
α11, α12, α20, α21, α22, \
β01, β02, β11, β12, β21, β22}

I know you can just do something like

f[ω0_, α00_, α01_, α02_, α10_, α11_, α12_, α20_, α21_, α22_, β01_, β02_,β11_, β12_, β21_, β22_] := ...

I was hoping to find a way where I don't specifically write out each variable, since the number of variables is going to vary with different iterations of the program.

It was actually a lot easier than I thought

f = Function @@ {vars, expr}

If you have a list of variables stored in vars in the desired order and expr is the function's formula, then

f = Function @@ {vars, expr}

will define a function for you. If you're content with the variables being in their sorted order and the expression expr is polynomial-ish (test Variables[expr] first), then

f = Function @@ {Variables[expr], expr}

will define a function for you.

If for some reason your variables have assigned values that interfere with the above, then one can use

f = Thread[
    Union @ Cases[Hold[expr] /. OwnValues[expr],
      v_Symbol /; Context[v] === "Global`" :> Hold[v],
      Infinity], 
    Hold] /. 
   Hold[v_] :> Block[v, Function @@ {Variables[expr], expr}];

(There may be a more elegant workaround, but that's what I can come with.)

where ... is the list in your OP.

N.B. you're missing ω1 as an argument, I assume that's intentional...

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks. Do you know of a way to do it if the the number of variables is unknown? The number of variables is going to be a parameter of the program I'm running. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @xentity1x Is ω1 always a parameter (an omitted variable)? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @xentity1x Forgive me, to me "yes it is" means ω1 is to remain symbol, but "forgot to put in a numerical value" suggests it was supposed to be a number. The two interpretations contradict each other. Which is correct? -- Also, if the number of variables is unknown, how do you know what order to put them in (as arguments for the function)? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ ω1 is supposed to be a number. The alphas and the betas are ordered by their indices, so I want to put them in the order determined by that. Beginning to think this might not be possible... $\endgroup$

Supposing that you want a DownValues definition rather than a Function you could use:

(* with your expression assigned to expr *)

(x \[Function] x_) /@ Variables[expr];

f[Sequence @@ %] = expr;

Why not to use a list for your arguments? Something like:

f1[αvars_, βvars_] := {αvars[[1]] + ..., ..., βvars[[5]] ... }

Or, as I can see you have double indicies for your variables. Can you formulate your equations as matrix manipulation? This can significantly simplify the task if possible.
