### PDSolve too many arguments error...

March 24 2015

Hey people,

I am trying to get the following code to run, but it keeps returning an error about too many arguments

restart:with(plots):with(PDEtools):
alpha_const := 0.5:gamma_const := 2.5: D1 := 0.05: D2 := 0.002:
A := diff_table(a(x,t)):B := diff_table(b(x,t)):
Selkov[1] := A[t] = 1 - A[]*B[]^(gamma_const) + D1*A[x,x]:
Selkov[2] := B[t] = alpha_const * ( A[]*B[]^(gamma_const) - B[]) + D2 * B[x,x]:

bc[1] := D[1](a)(0,t)=0: bc[2] := D[1](b)(0,t)=0: bc[3] := D[1](a)(4*Pi,t) = 0: bc[4]:=D[1](b)(4*Pi,t)=0:

ic[1] := eval(A[],t=0)=a_0:ic[2] := eval(B[],t=0)=b_0:
case1 := eval(ic,[a_0=1,b_0=1]):
case2 := eval(ic, [a_0=piecewise((x<2*Pi+1) and (x>2*Pi-1), 0.99, 1), b_0=piecewise((x<2*Pi+1) and (x>2*Pi-1), 0.99, 1)]):

Case1Default := pdsolve({Selkov[1],Selkov[2]},{bc[1],bc[2],bc[3],bc[4],case1[1],case1[2]},numerical);

Error, (in pdsolve/sys) too many arguments; some or all of the following are wrong: [{a(x, t), b(x, t)}, {a(x, 0) = 1, b(x, 0) = 1, (D[1](a))(0, t) = 0, (D[1](a))(4*Pi, t) = 0, (D[1](b))(0, t) = 0, (D[1](b))(4*Pi, t) = 0}, numerical]

My code worked just earlier today, and now it wont. If i try to run pdsolve({Selkov[1],Selkov[2]}) it says that there is an error with general case of floats.

You help is greatly appreciated!

In positive numbers, I get it ok

### fsolve more equations than variables...

March 14 2015

Hi everyone,

i'm trying to find out the euler angles from a rotation matrix.

I have a matrix that contains the result of multpilying the 3 axis rotation R(z,c)*R(y,b)*R(x,a) without knowing the values of the angles a,c,b (that's what I want to find out), so there are sinus and cosinus everywhere. There is another matrix containing the expected values that each equation in the first matrix will match.

My problem is that I eventually will change the order of the multiplication of the axis (i.e. R(x,a)*R(z,c)*R(y,b)) and I'm try to make maple compute this for me.

I defined R(x,a), R(y,b) and R(z,c) as follows:

Rx := Matrix (3,3, [1,0,0,0,cos(a),-sin(a),0,sin(a),cos(a)]);
Ry := Matrix (3,3, [sin(b), 0, cos(b), 0, 1, 0, -sin(b), 0, cos(b)]);
Rz := Matrix (3,3, [cos(c), -sin(c), 0, sin(c), cos(c), 0, 0, 0, 1]);
and
RT := Multiply(Multiply(Rx,Rz),Ry);

Since here is alright. Now I want to match RT to the solution matrix.

g1 := RT[1,1] = mat[1,1];
g2 := RT[1,2] = mat[1,2];
g3 := RT[1,3] = mat[1,3];
g4 := RT[2,1] = mat[2,1];
g5 := RT[2,2] = mat[2,2];
g6 := RT[2,3] = mat[2,3];
g7 := RT[3,1] = mat[3,1];
g8 := RT[3,2] = mat[3,2];
g9 := RT[3,3] = mat[3,3];

soll := fsolve({g1,g2,g3,g4,g5,g6,g7,g8,g9},{a,b,c});

At this point I'm getting an error. I know that there are more equations than variables but the system is solvable anyway.
What maple trick can I do to solve this system or to find the good 3 equations?

Extra question:

Is there any method to match RT to mat without all those gX equations?

Thank you everyone.

### Don't get my Error... "Error, (in S4) the modular ...

March 05 2015

Heyho,

I'm pretty new to Maple (started Monday). And I don't know how to solve (or even why it exists) the following error:

S3() generates two integers, one converted from a random 568-Bit-number "e" and one converted from a random 160-bit number "kp1", satisfying gcd(e,kp1)=1.
That works pretty fine so far.

Now I need two specific numbers, x and y defined by:

And I use the proc S4 to get them:

Sometimes, the error occurs "Error, (in S4) the modular inverse does not exist", and I dont get why,... I tried to fix it, with the "while"-loop, but it didnt work out yet.

Someone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks!

### Difficulty with using Explore and plot with parame...

Hi,

I'm trying to create interactive plots by using Explore to help demonstrate the effects parameters have on functions. I created one successfully to illustrate shifts and stretches of a polynomial:

transform(A,B,X,H,P,K):=Explore(plot(a*(b*x+h)^(p)+k,x=X),parameters=[a=A, b= B,h=H,p=P,k=K],placement=right)

However when I try to do the same with a solved ODE it returns an error message:

Explore(plot(1/(-p*x+x+1)^(1/(p-1)), x = -5 .. 5), parameters = [p = -20 .. 20], placement = right);

Executing this gives the error message:

Warning, expecting only range variable x in expression 1/((-p*x+x+1)^(1/(p-1))) to be plotted but found name p
INTERFACE_PLOT(AXESLABELS(x, ""),

VIEW(-5. .. 5., DEFAULT, _ATTRIBUTE("source" = "mathdefault"))),

parameters = [p = -20 .. 20], placement = right

I'm not sure why it is having difficulty dealing with "p" when it had no difficulty with the first. Any help would be appreciated!

### invalid input when trying to approximate...

February 02 2015

Hello fellow members. I recently got a new laptop, and installed Maple of course. Everything went smoothly until I attempted to approximate an answer.

I got the error message:

"[5] Error, invalid input: expected evalf[] index to be of type posint but received %ARG1"

Approximation works perfectly on my other computer and old laptop.

Any help?

Hello friends;

I want to solve 3 - second orger equations with  6 unkowns.

When i say just dsolve without boundry conditions it is solving but so complicated.

_C6Ci  it is giving like that which i dont know the meaning of Ci.

But with boundry conditions it is not solving .

Thanks.

### maple 18 does not integrate...

February 01 2015

Hello everybody!

My name is Mathew and I am a new member of this forum, and this is my first post, so please be lenient towards me:) I wanted to ask for help since my adventure with Maple 18 was supposed to start yesterday, unfortunately I encountered a problem I couldn't solve myself so far- my Maple 18 does not integrate. At all. It has no problem with differentiating, adding, subtracting and such, unfortunately any type of integral is unsolvable by Maple. I tried typing the easiest functions, such as e2xdx under the integral, unfortunately it is met with following message:

Error, (in int) wrong number (or type) of arguments: invalid option value passed to indefinite integration: {}.

I understood from several tutorials on the internet that this program should not have any problems with dealing with such form of formulas. What could be wrong? How to make  it work as it is supposed to?

Please help me. As I mentioned in the beginning, I am a new member, so in case I did something wrong or placed this post in wrong category- please forgive me;)

Hi, I installed Maple 17 a while back and was able to work all the commands but recently I reinstalled it
I tried a command which gave me an error that I never got before

>rightsum:=RiemannSum(1/x^2,x=50..75,partition=25,method=right,output=plot);

Error, (in Student:-Calculus1:-RiemannSum) external linking: error loading external library statshw.dll: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.

When I tried to reinstall the only issue was that it had trouble installing Visual C++ 2005 redistribute however I already have it on my computer and I don't intend to uninstall it since it took a long time to actually get my other programs to have it working. Is there anyhting I can do to fix this error? (Plotting other stuff seems to work fine except for Riemann Sums)

Dear everyone,

I want to deal with experimental data with error. I find two ways to do the job. But  the results are different .Could you tell me which one is more correct?

Thank you.
