Let us consider 

restart; 
MultiSeries:-limit(sin(n)/n, n = infinity, complex);
0

The answer is wrong: in view of the Casorati-Weierstrass theorem the limit does not exist. Let us try another limit command of Maple

limit(sin(n)/n, n = infinity, complex);


(lim) (sin(n))/(n)

which fails. Therefore, Maple user does not obtain the correct answer. 

Hi

I have this problem that my computer crashed during Maple 2016.1 to 2016.2 update.

Now it won't start at all.

I have tried reinstalling Maple several times, tried not updating to 2016.1 and running the program as vesion 2016.0.

I get this error in my eventlog, when I try to run the program.

Name of program errors: javaw.exe, version: 8.0.1020.14, timestamp: 0x576af3f4

So as my titel suggests I need help to remove all files associated with Maple so I can install the program anew. It has worked fine for over a year so far. Only stopped working after that crash.

I have even tried installing the older version, Maple 2015 and it doesn't work either, so I am guessing the files which are corrupted aren't removed during a normal uninstall process, and they are shared among the versions of the program.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi all,

I am using Maple 2016.

I have defined 5 polynomials: f1, f2, f3, f4 and f5 with 5 unknowns q1,q2 ,q3, q4 and lamda.

After this, I generated the Gröbner basis. But when I try to find the normal set I got an error.

Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to use units in Maple so I can always check if the result I have at the end of calculation is the meter.  For example:

The answer is of course 3.10^8 m^3*kg/s^3

I try to do something with the units but I am unable to crreate something that will simplify the m/s ffactor to 1.

Any idea?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I'm trying to solve the really simple system u+v = <-2,4> and u-v = <-3,6> for u and v using Maple. My attempt attached.

Why do I get this error? How might I get the solution?

I have recently been working on a problem using fractional calculus and have come across something in Maple's fracdiff  command that makes no sense to me.

fracdiff(1, x, 1/2) = 0

It should be:     1/(sqrt(x)*sqrt(Pi))

Thanks.

The first half of this work sheet deals with SHM of pendulum. In the second half of the work sheet I attempt to solve for the general case of a swinging pendulum. Maple introduces a place holder (correct me if I have used the incorrect termonology) " __a" which I do not understand. What variable(s) should I replace it with and is there an automatic way of doing so?

I am practicing with some diff equations. I am having problem solving for one of the constants. I am having a pproblem assigning a value to derivatives or 2nd derivatives. What is a good general technique is this type of situation?

I was trying to write a procedure that would compute a simple linear equation using the Extended Euclidean Algorithm. I was thinking of a procedure like the following:

solveEeaMatrix := proc (a::list, b::list) 
 local c::list;  
 c := a -iquo(a[1],b[1])*b;  
 print(c);  
 while (c[1] <> gcd(a[1],b[1]) do 
 ...

I am basically stuck at this part as

1) I don't know how to setup a multi-dimensional array that could dynamically grow(as a possible solution).

2) I can't come up with a recursive function that could possibly take care of this.

In short, if I am given for example an equation like: 84*x+203*y = 14

I will transform it into 2 linear equation as follow:
row0 := [203, 0, 1] row1 := [84, 1, 0] Subsequently, I will perform the following:

c := a -iquo(a[1],b[1])*b;  

Where aand b are both lists and arguments of the procedure and cbeing another list and a local variable.

But I don't know how to do the following programmatically:

row3 := row1-iquo(row1[1], row2[1])*row2;
row4 := row2-iquo(row2[1], row3[1])*row3;
row5 := row3-iquo(row3[1], row4[1])*row4;
and so on ...                  

Any hint would be appreciated.

Dear All, 

I am trying to use define_external to use a C dll from inside MAPLE. The C dll exports a function that has a argument of type function pointer which has a return type of pointer. The function itself returns pointers.  

Pointers are needed as return types as the C function needs to return arrays. 

When I try to pass the C function, as maple procedure as the argument, it errs saying "Error, (in rk4_vec) number expected for float[8] parameter, got proc () option remember; table( [( 1 ) = HFloat(1.0), ( 2 ) = HFloat(-0.0) ] ) 'procname(args)' end proc"

rk4_vec is as follows: 

rk4_vec := define_external("rk4vec", 't0' :: float[8], 'm' :: integer[4], 'u0' :: ARRAY(1..2,datatype=float[8]), 'dt' :: float[8], 'f' :: PROC('t' :: float[8], 'm' :: integer[4], 'u' :: ARRAY(1..2,datatype=float[8]), 'RETURN' :: REF(float[8])), 'RETURN' ::REF(float[8]), "WRAPPER", LIB="rk4.dll");

rk4vec in C looks like this: 

double *rk4vec ( double t0, int m, double u0[], double dt, 
  double *f ( double t, int m, double u[] ) )

I am passing f as :

rk4vec_test_f := proc(t, n, u)
local uprime :: REF(float[8]);
#uprime := Array(n);
uprime(1) := u(2);
uprime(2) := -u(1);
return uprime;
end proc;

I have tried the RETURN type on the define_external call as : float[8], ARRAY(1..2, datatype=float[8]) , but that didnt work either. I got the idea of using REF from times2 example on this link.

Any guidance in this matter is highly appreciated. 

Attached are the C file, the dll, maple worksheet. Tested on Windows, with 64-bit, Maple 2016 standard. rk4.zip

Funny, I can't seem to find a list of all available units in the help file.

Is there not a listed table of units somewhere?

**edit add**  conversion of units I mean.  ie.  meters, miles, gallons, litres, Pa, etc...

I wish to solve for k interms of x, e is a constant in the equation k=x+e*sin(k). Using the solve function, i got 

RootOf(_Z-x-e*sin(_Z)) and using the function allvalues(RootOf(_Z-x-e*sin(_Z))) still gave the same expression in _Z. Please is there a way out because I need the value of k  as a substitute to another equation. Any help will be highly appreciated.
 

I am trying to model a disease. The equation is as follows:

S*X - f(X,S,Sp) = 100

I have data for S, I have data for X and I have data for f(X,S,Sp) however I want to find an equation for f(X,S,Sp) that has the best fit with the data because I need to use it later on in my calculation. If anyone is intrested S is the sensitivity of the blood test, Sp is the specificity of the blood test. This means that X*(1-Sp) is the number of false positives.

I currently dont have access to Maple hence I am doing all my modeling in excel 2016. So I am severly limited because excel is useless at algebra.

I have a PDE with boundary conditions, from a NASA paper.  I always seem to have problems expressing the bc.

PDE := diff(u(x, t), t) = (1/4)*exp(2)*exp(-u(x, t))*(diff(diff(u(x, t), x), x))/(x^2+2);

The initial/boundary conditions are

@t=0, u(x, t) = 2-2*ln(-x^2+2)

@x=0, diff(u(x,t),x)=0  ## this is the bc I have problem expressing

@x=1, u(x,t) = 2+ln(1+t)

The exact solution given in the paper:

2 + ln(1+t) - 2*ln(2-x^2)

I tried

ics := u(x, 0) = 2*(1-ln(2-x^2));

bcs := D[1](u(0,t))=0, u(1,t)=2+ln(1+t);

PDEtools[Solve]([PDE,ics,bcs]); ## no solution

How do I do this?
