There is a problem here somewhere. Maple hangs on this ODE. Looking at trace, it hangs in trying homogeneous G

is this a known defect and could be resolved?

restart;
infolevel[dsolve]:=4;
dsolve(x^3*diff(y(x),x)^2+x*diff(y(x),x)-y(x) = 0,y(x))

... hangs

Adding different timelimits, it looks like the function gcd/LinZip is the culprit. Since it always seems to be there each time the timelimit expires (if it expires, sometimes it hangs even with timelimit).  But I noticed the above function many times in timelimit. So it seems the above functions is what causes many of the hangs I see.

Using `Lie` method, dsolved finishes almost instantly.

restart;
dsolve(x^3*diff(y(x),x)^2+x*diff(y(x),x)-y(x) = 0,y(x),'Lie')

This is on Maple 2020.2

It would be useful to know the cause of the hang, as fixing it could solve other problems.

I also notice that on Maple 2019.2 the first example above finished very fast also. So this is an issue that was introduced in Maple 2020.

All on windows 10.

I am having hard time controlling my Latex:-Settings now. The issue is that I do not know what each setting accepts as values, and what each value does.  The way I've been doing it is by collecting what useful ones posted in this forum, and what it does and save it in my cheat sheet. 

But now I see I need to change something, but not sure to what.

Is there a way to find what all the settings are, and description  of what each does and accepts as values? For example, 

            powersoftrigonometricfunctions

Accepts mixed and computernotation  But where are these described in terms of what they do? does it accept anything else?  Notice that ?leavespaceafterfunctionname does not show anything.

If I do 

restart;
Latex:-Settings()

it gives

[cacheresults = true, invisibletimes = " ", leavespaceafterfunctionname = false, 
powersoftrigonometricfunctions = mixed, spaceaftersqrt = true, usecolor = true, 
useimaginaryunit = I, useinputlineprompt = true, userestrictedtypesetting = false, 
usespecialfunctionrules = true, usetypesettingcurrentsettings = false]

But do not know how to obtain full description and possible value of each to see what they mean and do.

I think having Latex:-Settings() is a great idea, as it allows maximum flexibility for user to configure how they want the Latex output to be, but as more options are added, this type of information become more important to know and to keep track of.

I am using 2020.2 and Physics version 893

 

Maple seems to have difficulty computing this sum, which occurs in molecular physics of the H atom.

fd := j -> 2^8*j^5*(j-1)^(2*j-4)/(3*(j+1)^(2*j+4));

sum(fd(n)*ln(1-1/n^2), n=2..infinity);

Can anybody discover a solution, please?

It's been about a year since I've been able to display any worksheet at all on MaplePrimes. In the example below, I took a very simple worksheet that had been displayed in an Answer to another recent Question and tried to upload it. So, we know that it's somehow possible to display this particular worksheet on MaplePrimes.

hi. 

i want to plot these two equation that z is complex. 

i try it by implicitplot but for the second one it's not work. thank you

I was trying to find if the type of module wide variable is considered local or global.

I have an exported variable in module. Maple then said it was local . OK

restart;
foo:=module()
   export n::integer;
   export boo:=proc()::integer;
     return n;
   end proc;       
end module;
                   

n:=foo:-boo():
type(n,`local`);

               # true

But when I did this

restart;
foo:=module()
   export n::integer;
end module;

n:=foo:-n;
type(n,`local`)

         #false

Now Maple says it no longer local.

What is the difference? The module wide variable is exported in both cases. So one can access it directly like in the second example above, or via call to a proc inside the module, which returns it.

Why in one case it is local and in the second case it is not?

Ok, I found the issue. It seems when doing return  n; in the first example above, it created and returned a local n to the proc itself (where n was not declared in the example). (even though maplemint did not complain. Strange).

I have assumed when doing return n Maple will know this is the module wide variable n since that is the closest one around.  i.e. the proc is inside the module. And n sits inside the module. So return n should referenced this variable. But it did not, because when I changed the code to this

restart;
foo:=module()
   export n::integer;
   export boo:=proc()::integer;
     return foo:-n;
   end proc;       
end module;

n:=foo:-boo():
type(n,`local`);

     #false

Now it returned false. The same as the second example.

But it also returned false when asking if it is global

n:=foo:-boo():
type(n,`global`);

    #false

So the module wide variable n in this example is not local and is not global.

Is there another type to use to check if the variable/symbol returned is a module wide type?

Maple 2020.2

I assume the goal is to have the Latex output close to the screen output in Maple. In these examples this is the case.

Example 1

restart;
A:=Matrix([[1,-1,0,2],[1,2,2,-2],[0,2,3,-1]]):
LinearAlgebra:-NullSpace(A)

But the Latex generated for the above, using the Latex() command is

\{ \left[\begin{array}{c}0 \\2 \\-1 \\1 \end{array}\right] \} 

Which when compiled

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
\{ \left[\begin{array}{c}0 \\2 \\-1 \\1 \end{array}\right] \} 
\]
\end{document}

gives

The latex should instead be 

\left\{ \left[\begin{array}{c}0 \\2 \\-1 \\1 \end{array}\right] \right\} 

Which compiles to

Example 2

restart;
A:=Matrix([[1,-1,0,2],[1,2,2,-2],[0,2,3,-1]]):
LinearAlgebra:-RowSpace(A)

The Latex of the above is 

[\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0 & 1 & 0 & -2 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0 & 0 & 1 & 1 \end{array}\right]]

Which when compiled gives

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
[\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0 & 1 & 0 & -2 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0 & 0 & 1 & 1 \end{array}\right]]
\]  
\end{document}

gives

A better Latex would be

\left[\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0 & 1 & 0 & -2 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0 & 0 & 1 & 1 \end{array}\right]\right]

Which compiles to

Now the size of the [[ is the same on both ends.

example 3

restart;
A:=Matrix([[1,-1,0,2],[1,2,2,-2],[0,2,3,-1]]):
LinearAlgebra:-ColumnSpace(A)

The Latex given for the above is

[\left[\begin{array}{c}1 \\0 \\0 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{c}0 \\1 \\0 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{c}0 \\0 \\1 \end{array}\right]]

Which when compiled

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
[\left[\begin{array}{c}1 \\0 \\0 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{c}0 \\1 \\0 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{c}0 \\0 \\1 \end{array}\right]]
\]  
\end{document}

gives

A better Latex is

\left[\left[\begin{array}{c}1 \\0 \\0 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{c}0 \\1 \\0 \end{array}\right], 
\left[\begin{array}{c}0 \\0 \\1 \end{array}\right]\right]

Which compiles to

I'm trying to just use "ThermophysicalData:-Chemical" function  to calculate below:

1 mol water vapor(H2O,g) condenses to liquid water  at 100C and 101.325kPa

Is there a function embeded to calculate DeltaW/H/S while switching the phases of matter.

thank you.

 

Here is the problem. I am trying to use sort() to make solution to ode show up with constant of integrations _C1 at the front of the term, instead of how Maple shows it, which is after the term, which does not look good.

As recommened in  Why-Maple-Refuses-To-Change-Location

sort() works well. Except for this: I am also using alias for the constant of integrations, to get nicer Latex output, as recommended in earlier post (which I can't find now). 

But once I use alias, now sort no longer produce the result I want. Here is an example

restart;
sol:=dsolve(diff(y(x),x) = x+y(x),y(x));
sort(sol)

Here sort works. It moved the term with constant of integration to the front, and _C1 at front, which is what I want as it looks more clear.

But when I do 

restart;
alias(seq(c[k]=_C||k,k=0..10)):
sol:=dsolve(diff(y(x),x) = x+y(x),y(x));
sort(sol)

This is because, I am assuming, the order of _C1 is higher than c[1] and sort is using the alias of _C1 to sort on and not _C1 itself.

The only reason I am using alias, is to get nicer Latex output when converting the solution to Latex vs. when using _C1

Is there a way to tell sort to treat c[1] as _C1, and c[2] as _C2, etc...  in terms of lexicographical ordering?

I see an order option for the command sort() in help, but so far did not know how to use it for the above purpose. This only affects _C1,_C2,_C3,_C4,.. and nothing else and I only use sort() on the output of the solution of ode. May be I need to write an order function and in there tell it c[1] has same order as _C1? But _C1 has c[1] as alias? so I do not think this will not work.

Basically I want to use the alias, but also use sort() on the result as if these constants of integrations where _C1,_C2, etc..

in my code, I set the alias at the global level, before I call any function in my package.

Any ideas how to do this or workaround this?

An exercise of 1948 commits me to form the equation of conics passing by 3 points. Let P=0, Q=0, R=0 be the equations of the sides of the triangle ABC; if we associate these sides 2 to 2 we obtain 3 conics passing through points A, B, C having for equations QR=0, RP=0, PQ=0. As a result, the general equation of conics around the triangle ABC is: aQR+bRP+cPQ=0. P, Q, R being equations of the form mx+ny+pz=0 (so-called homogeneous coordinates). Then change to refined coordinates with x+y+z=1 (formula found on the internet and surely misinterpreted). Is it necessary to change of base ? Thank you for your help.

Given a metric, to compute quantities in the NP formalism one needs to specify a null tetrad. In the various examples in the help pages, sometimes the tetrad is specified simply as a list of 4 vectors, e.g., NT := [...] and sometimes evalDG is applied as in NT := evalDG({...]). Using the first format, Maple accepted NT as argument in NPSpinCoefficients but  NPCurvatureScalars(SpinCoefficients,NT) complained that the second argument wasn't a list of four vectors. When I used the second format, both commands returned the expected results. Why the difference?

Consider the second order BVP:

diff(u(x), x, x) = u(x), u(0) = 2, u(1) = 1

I want dsolve numeric to calculate the second derivative, diff(u(x), x, x)

The actual problem I am working on is a more complex BVP that cannot be solved symbolically, but this simpler BVP will illustrate the problem.

Several Mapleprimes posts say to add a second equation diff(u(x), x, x) = v(x) and solve the system for u(x), v(x). This works for IVP's. However, when I implement it as shown below for the BVP:

dsolve({diff(u(x), x, x) = u(x), diff(u(x), x, x) = v(x), u(0) = 2, u(1) = 1, v(1) = 1}, {u(x), v(x)})

dsolve solves the problem fine symbolically, but when I try to solve the problem numerically:

dsolve({diff(u(x), x, x) = u(x), diff(u(x), x, x) = v(x), u(0) = 2, u(1) = 1, v(1) = 1}, numeric)

I get the following error message:

Error, (in dsolve/numeric/bvp/convertsys) the ODE system does not contain derivatives of the unknown function v

The above dsolve numeric command is a simplifcation -- e.g. I use an approximate solution etc. -- dsolve numeric solves the original BVP just fine, but will NOT calculate the second derivative.

I have tried any number of variations. I can convert the original problem to a system of first order equations -- but then, of course, dsolve calculates no first derivatives -- so I don't have diff (u(x),x) = diff (u(x),x,x)! 

I've killed a whole day on this. I need to estimate the location of the inflection point in my real problem (the solution is a sigmoidal function). I can apply a finite difference approximation to the dsolve numeric solution, but it's not accurate enough. Dsolve should be more accurate, since dsolve will  regulate the error of the added variable, v(x), to within abserr.

Oh, you would make everyone's life so much easier if you would just have dsolve numeric return all the derivatives in the IVP/BVP being solved! Or provide a data struction as solution that can be integrated/differentiated.

I have a large Maple 2020 worksheet which contains images and text.  I have been asked to publish a paper on the worksheet, in which I need to include LaTeX format. I have attempted to make the Maple => LaTeX conversion, but have the resulting file is very cluttered and takes much time to clean.  Can anyone offer advice on the best way to get clean LaTeX document from a worksheet?

Hi,

It seems that it's not possible to change the tickmarks on axis 2 of a sparsematrixplot.
Mire of this, trying to change them seems to suppress them...
Perhaps this was a problem in Maple 2015 which has since been corrected?
By any chance, would you have a trick to correct this?

TIA
