I've always had problems installing Physics package from inside Maple.

I thought by buying Maple 2019 this problem will go away, but I am still not able to install this package.

I get this error

Here is screen shot

I am on windows 10 professional. Maple 2019 installed with no problems.

any suggestion to try (other what was suggeted in link at top, which is to manually download the physics package each time and update maple.ini to point to the new version)?

Is Physics package updated to work/install in Maple 2019 or does one need to wait few more days untill this happens?

Update

I am not sure what happened, but now after starting Maple, these PDE's no longer hang. Even though I tried them before number of times before posting to make sure.  This is strange. I do not know what happened.

Any way, there is no issue any more. These do not hang in version 319.

original post

Hello Maple experts.

FYI, I noticed some pde's are no longer solved (hang) after downloading latest physics package cloud version 319, when before when using version 301 these were solved.

Any idea why this happened? It is possible this is due to bug fix of course, but thought to point this out.

These PDE's were solved with Maple 2018.2.1 with Physics ver. 301 but not in ver. 319

#now not solved or hangs, before it was solved in 7 seconds
pde := diff(u(x, t), t) = (1/20)*(diff(u(x, t), x$2))+t;
bc := u(0, t) = 5, (u(1, t)+ eval( diff(u(x,t),x),x=1)) = 10;
ic:= u(x, 0) = -40*x^2/3+45*x/2+5;
pdsolve([pde, bc,ic], u(x, t));

#now it hangs, before it was solved in 0.2 seconds
pde :=  (A*y^2+B*x^2-a^2*B)*diff(w(x,y),x)+(C*y^2+2*B*x*y)*diff(w(x,y),y) = 0;
pdsolve(pde,w(x,y));

#now hangs when it was solved before in 5 seconds
pde := 2*diff(w(x,y),x)+((lambda+a-a*sin(lambda*x))*y^2 +lambda -a -a*sin(lambda*x))*diff(w(x,y),y) = 0;
pdsolve(pde,w(x,y));

#now hangs when it was solved before in 1.8 seconds
pde := diff(w(x,y),x)+((lambda+a*sin(lambda*x)^2)*y^2 + lambda -a +a*sin(lambda*x)^2)*diff(w(x,y),y) = 0;
pdsolve(pde,w(x,y));

Using windows 10.

Hello Maple experts:

Using Maple 2018.2.1 on windows, with Physics package version 301.

There is some strange issue in parsing somewhere.  This works

r:='r'; u:='u'; t:='t';theta:='theta';k:='k';
k:=1/25;
pde := diff(u(r,theta,t),t)=k*(diff(u(r,theta,t),r$2) + 1/r*diff(u(r,theta,t),r)+1/r^2*diff(u(r,theta,t),theta$2));
bc1:= eval(diff(u(r,theta,t),r),r=1)=0;
bc2:= u(r,0,t)=0, u(r,Pi,t)=0;
ic := u(r,theta,0)=(r-1/3*r^3)*sin(theta);
sol:=pdsolve([pde, bc1, bc2, ic], u(r, theta, t),HINT = boundedseries(r = [0]));

No problem with the above, pdsolve gives solution. Now if I change k from 1/25 to 1, it gives parsing error in map

k:=1;
pde := diff(u(r,theta,t),t)=k*(diff(u(r,theta,t),r$2) + 1/r*diff(u(r,theta,t),r)+1/r^2*diff(u(r,theta,t),theta$2));
bc1:= eval(diff(u(r,theta,t),r),r=1)=0; 
bc2:= u(r,0,t)=0, u(r,Pi,t)=0;
ic  := u(r,theta,0)=(r-1/3*r^3)*sin(theta);
sol := pdsolve([pde, bc1, bc2, ic], u(r, theta, t),HINT = boundedseries(r = [0]));

Error, (in assuming) invalid input: map expects 2 or more arguments, but received 1

any K value less than one works. 

Now I change K from 1 to 2, the error goes away. But no solution. Which is OK.

Why does the map error shows up when k=1 only? Same error shows up if K is missing all togother, as in

r:='r'; u:='u'; t:='t';theta:='theta';k:='k';
pde := diff(u(r,theta,t),t)=diff(u(r,theta,t),r$2) + 1/r*diff(u(r,theta,t),r)+1/r^2*diff(u(r,theta,t),theta$2);
bc1:= eval(diff(u(r,theta,t),r),r=1)=0; 
bc2:= u(r,0,t)=0, u(r,Pi,t)=0;
ic  := u(r,theta,0)=(r-1/3*r^3)*sin(theta);
sol := pdsolve([pde, bc1, bc2, ic], u(r, theta, t),HINT = boundedseries(r = [0]));

Error, (in assuming) invalid input: map expects 2 or more arguments, but received 1

Is package SumTools supposed to be a superset of the sum command in Maple? Or is it supposed to be a complementary to it? When should one use SumTools vs. sum?

The help on SumTools says

The SumTools package contains commands that help find closed forms of definite and indefinite sums. The package consists of three commands and three subpackages.
 

But does not make it clear when to use it vs. sum or what is its relation to sum command.

I am asking because on one example, sum is able to give an answer, while SumTools can't. I have expected the other way, where if sum failed, then one will try SumTools.

restart;
sum(1/n*sin(n*x),n=1..infinity) assuming 0<x,x<Pi

SumTools:-IndefiniteSummation(1/n*sin(n*x),n=1..infinity) assuming 0<x, x<Pi

Some definition of n! where n are the negative integers is taken to be infinity. (this is Gamma function for negative integers).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_function

So 1/(-1)!  should be zero. And that is what Mathematica gives

But Maple does not like (-1)!, it gives division by zero, I assume because it is not using the above definition using Gamma function.  But then how come Maple is able to find correctly this sum

sum(1/factorial(n-1),n=0..infinity)

Which is exp(1).   The first term above, when n=0 is   1/(-1)!  which Maple does not like. Because if we take the first term as 1/infinity=0 then the sum is the same as if we had

sum(1/factorial(n-1),n=1..infinity)

And now it is exp(1) with no problem dealing with negative integer factorial.

Question is: Since Maple does not like negative integer factorial, how comes it accepted the above sum, whose first term contain negative integer factorial? 

Just wondering how it did the above, that is all. When I solved this by hand, I used 1/(-1)! = 0 to be able to sum it.
