How to explain this strange behavior?   odetest(sol,ode) does not give zero. But odetest(sol,[ode,IC]) gives [0,0]

Same solution and same ode. Why adding IC, now odetest says solution verifies the ode, but without adding IC, it does not give zero right away. I know I can simplify the result to zero. But the point is that it should have given zero right away, because that is what it did when adding IC.

Should it not have given zero in first case also?

Can't upload worksheet due to security. Here is code and screen shot

ode := diff(y(x),x) + cos(1/exp(2*x))*y(x) = sin(1/exp(x));
IC := a*D(y)(x0)+c*y(x0) = b*y0;
sol:=y(x) = ((-cos(exp(-2*x0))*a + c)*Int(sin(exp(-tau))*exp(-1/2*Ci(exp(-2*tau))), tau = 0 .. x0) + Int(sin(exp(-tau))*exp(-1/2*Ci(exp(-2*tau))), tau = 0 .. x)*(cos(exp(-2*x0))*a - c) + exp(-1/2*Ci(exp(-2*x0)))*(a*sin(exp(-x0)) - b*y0))*exp(1/2*Ci(exp(-2*x)))/(cos(exp(-2*x0))*a - c);

odetest(sol,ode);

#not zero

#now

odetest(sol,[ode,IC]);

#gives [0,0]

Could someone please check if these are new in Maple 2025.2? I am on windows 10.

Could someone please check if this error happens in earlier versions of Maple? I have only Maple 2025.2 on Windows.

Unable to upload worksheet due to new security. Here is the code to run

Here is another int() error. In Maple 2025.2.  It comes from

I still can not upload worksheet. So here is the code followed by screen shot

I did not make new question as this seems to be same source of error but can not be sure now.

Second update DEC 12, 2025

Here is 3rd one. Seems also the same. comes from RationalTrigOnly: case ratpoly*trig(arg)

integrand:=-(tau + sqrt(tau^2 - 1))^(2*sqrt(tau^2 - 1)/(sqrt(tau - 1)*sqrt(tau + 1)))*(Pi - 2*arcsin(tau))*(12*tau^2 + Pi - 2*arcsin(tau) - 6)*sqrt(tau - 1)*sqrt(tau + 1)/(16*tau^2 - 16);

Currently, when I have solution to an ode, say y(x)=sin(x)+_C1 and have some initial condition, then to solve for _C1,  I manually substitute the solution into the IC and replace each x by x0 and replace each derivative manually and so on.

This is because I could not find automatic way to do this. Using another software, it is possible to automate this by writing the solution using the  y -> Function[{x}, ...] syntax. But in Maple, I was not sure how to do the same.

Here is a simple made up example. 

sol:= y(x) = sin(x)+_C1;
IC := a*D(y)(x0)+c*y(x0)= b*y0+exp((D@@2)(y)(x0));

The goal is to replace the solution (which is function y(x)) into the IC, and automatically replace all its derivatives and replace x by x0 then solve for _C1 from the equation that results.

Now I do this manually like this

eval(IC,[ y(x0)=eval(rhs(sol),x=x0), 
          D(y)(x0)=eval(diff(rhs(sol),x),x=x0), 
         (D@@2)(y)(x0)= eval(diff(rhs(sol),x$2),x=x0) ])

which gives

But this is too much work.

Using the other software, I can do the above much more easily like this

sol = y -> Function[{x}, Sin[x] + C[1]]
ic = a*y'[x0] + c*y[x0] == b*y0 + Exp[y''[x0]];
ic /. sol

I looked at algsubs, dchange, or making the solution as function instead, and so on but could not emulate the y -> Function[{x}, Sin[x] + C[1]] method in Maple.

What would be similar method in Maple to do the above automatically?  May be there is already builtin function in Maple?

I frequently receive this message after installing the most recent Maple update:

Can anyone help me with this? Thank you so much for your valuable support.

is it possible to collect using pattern? For example, given 

How to tell Maple to collect on  r^power terms to produce

This came up in another forum here  and using that other software, it is possible to ask collect to collect on pattern r^_

Is there a way in Maple to collect on all powers of r in the above? Here is worksheet

Hello,

I have upgraded to maple 2025, but the ui fonts are too small and very thin. I went to Files -> Options -> Interface -> Default Zoom, thet sat it up to 150%. It only changed the document area not the UI options. This solution used to work with Maple 2024. I am on ubuntu 22.04.

I do not remember if this came up before. And this is all done in code, without looking at the screen.

Given sqrt(1-cos(x)^2), Maple's simplify does not return sqrt(sin(x)^2), instead it returns ugly result csgn(sin(x))*sin(x) which is correct ofcourse, but why not just return sqrt(sin(x)^2)?  As sqrt(sin(x)^2) is much easier to read than csgn(sin(x))*sin(x).

length of sqrt(1-cos(x)^2) is 29 and length of sqrt(sin(x)^2) is 21.

What Maple simplify seems to do is simplify sqrt(1-cos(x)^2) to sqrt(sin(x)^2) internally, but instead of stopping there, it keeps going and "simplifies" sqrt(sin(x)^2)  to csgn(sin(x))*sin(x).

How to make it stop at sqrt(sin(x)^2)?

Again, this is done in code. Not interactive. code uses simplify() command on most things. 

Download simplify_dec_3_2025.mw

That other system does it better

Is it possible to make simplify do the same in Maple? 

DO not know if this is new in Maple 2025.2 or not as I have not looked yet if it is possible to install Maple 2025.1 on my new PC given Maple 2025.2 is already installed.

Found That Maple 2025.2 gives "Error, (in dsolve) numeric exception: division by zero" when asked to solve this ode using Lie symmetry.  The error comes when it tried to 

                        Computing canonical coordinates for the symmetry 

Even if this problem was in earlier Maple versions, this ofcourse should not happen.

I would like to change the document and worksheet colour in Maple 2025. I would like to darken or change the color of the icons and text in the tool bar. I have searched everywhere and can't seem to locate it. As currently configured, it is hard on the eyes; my eyesight is not the best. I beleive there is a softer yellow colour that can be picked, which I believe is called classic. Thank you

I am using Maple 2025.  I have the following in my ini file:

with(LinearAlgebra):
    with(VectorCalculus):
    with(plottools):
    with(plots):
    with(DocumentTools):
    with(Units[Simple]):
    with(StringTools):
    stoperror(all):
   interface(displayprecision = 4):
    _EnvUseHeavisideAsUnitStep := true:  
    Digits := 10:

I want to set my default number formatting to "Engineering."  I cannot find where or how to do this, either in the menues or the an ini file command.  I can do it in the context panel line by line, but want it to be global and automatic.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I have an expression with y,y',y''. I found that I had to use collect first to make Maple simplifies it more.

Why is that? Is this expected?

Notice how much simpler the result when doing collect first.

I've seen many here recommend using the screen reader for Maple 2025. So this is first time I tried it.

Clicked on this second icon in my windows 10 start menu

Maple came up using the old UI, which is good:

But here comes the big problem. The file->Open menu does not work. It automatically opened in location which is not what I want. I wanted to navigate to different place on my PC. But anything I click on just generates loud beep and does nothing. Can't type anything to change location either.

So can't open any file. Not only that, It is stuck and can't even close the windows. Can't get out. Everything is stuck. 

It could be because I have 2 monitors. I had this open on the second monitor on the right. Everything on the second monitor now do not respond like Maple. Luckily, on the left monitor I was able to start task manager and kill Maple in order to get out of this hang.    

Basically screen reader does not work at all for me. If I can't open a file.

It could be due to using 2 monitors. I do not know.

Does file open work for others?

Here is small movie.
