Hi all,

I am looking for a package to calculate the power mean (or Hölder mean) defined like

Mean_p(x_n)=(1/N Sum(x_n^p,n=1..N))^(1/p)

in a hopefully obvious notation. I can obviously implement this definition directly in Maple, but there are subtleties (like the limit of p=0) which maybe a mature implementation already covers (?).

I am still mostly on Maple 15 which does not have such a Mean. If 16 or 17 have it I would not becessarily know.

So I have this long-ish for...do...end do loop that involves all sort of things incl. running an external program (via system() ) and fitting a nonlinear expression to the result; the loop iterating a parameter for the external calculation.

It would be swell if I could run something like a progress bar that tells how many cycles done and still to go. Even better if I could get at the value of a certain variable that indicates progress of the whole calculation (which is an optimization problem...

I have an intermittent font issue in Maple 15 on Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5.

Every-so-often it happens that certain characters do not show in the Maple output. These are usually greek characters or somewhat more exotic mathematical symbols. I do shuffle file back & forth between my systems which are Maple 15 and OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.8. Java id 1.5 on both of these. Occasionally, a file may also get to a machine running Maple 17 on 10.6.8 with Java 1.6, but that is...

I have a Mma code from a colleague that I am trying to port to Maple. This code uses a lot of Mma With[{...}, ...] constructs, to which I found the Maple "use ... in ... end use" construct the closest equivalent. What is being done is to initialize a bunch of local variables and then run the calculations. Non-initialized variables (the ones not in the first section) remain global.

I ran into a problem in Maple when I tried to initialize an element of a Vector, like "use a[1...

Hi, I have created over time a module with a number of procedures that are useful for me for certain calculations.

From time to time I am adding new stuff to it. Now I find that the thing has gotten long enough that (a) I need to do a lot of scrolling and (b) I forget where exactly certain procedures are in the file.

So I was trying to put in bookmarks that e.g. could carry the names of procedures, or sections of the whole thing. But Maple refuses to put more...
