I need to declare a whole set of variables as local. The variable names are generates algorithmically using assign. Like so:

seq(seq(assign(cat(S,i,j)=Vector(datatype=float)),i=1..9),j=1..9);

Stand-alone, this works and creates all these Vectors for later use. But this:

local seq(seq(assign(cat(S,i,j)=Vector(datatype=float)),i=1..9),j=1..9);

does not work; I get an "error; '(' unexpected".

I really do not want to type all these by hand... on the other hand, if I do not declare these as local I get 99 warnings about implicit local declaration; not nice.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

M.D.

PS: I do not upload as the one line really is all that is needed. At the lowest level one does not get the implicit-declaration warning, but with "local" it still fails.

I am interested in the inner workings of SignalProcessing:-Convolution. I know I can list it with a higher setting of verboseproc:

with(SignalProcessing);
interface(verboseproc=3); # actually, 2 is enough here...
eval(Convolution);

and get

Obviously the real work happens in IPP:-Convolution, but that seems unknown. How can I list that??

TIA,

In a calculation I am encountering expressions of the following kind:

-.27059805007310*sin(.12+epsilon)+.27059805007310*sqrt(1.-cos(.12+epsilon)^2)

As is known, for epsilon < Pi-0.12, the two terms are equal but opposite in sign and the result should be zero (ok, maybe a few 1E-15 for round-off). But for the heck of it I cannot get Maple to simplify this with the assumption e.g. epsilon < 0.1.

This can probably be simplified by squaring the two terms and then subtracting them, but that can possibly lead to other "interesting" effects and besides is a bit cumbersome.

Has anybody found a good way of  doing this?

Thanks,

I should know this, but I don't: Is there a plotting command to plot a list of points, like so:

list:=[[x1,y1],[x2,y2],etc...]; plotlist(list);

(a Vector of points would also be ok)?

There is plots:-pointplot which plots two Vectors (or maybe lists) against each other.

plots:-listplot plots a list against the index. Both are useful commands I employ a lot, but sometimes I'd like to plot pairs as above directly.

Note that I do know how to transform the list of pairs into two lists, or whatever; that is not the issue. I am looking whether there is a command that does this by itself, transparently, before I program myself such a routine because I am too dense with the Maple Help facility.

I just got a "new" graphics card, NVIDIA GT630, and was wondering whether the CUDA capabilities are accessible. But no luck:

CUDA:-Enable();

Error, (in CUDA:-Enable) CUDA not supported on the current system (see CUDA,supported_hardware for more information)

The CUDA help page with the example, when run, just shows a host of error messages.

I have OS X 10.11.6, the above mentioned GT630 card with claimed 384 CUDA cores and 2 GB of VRAM; NVIDIA WebDriver 346.03.15f16 for the card (i.e. latest for this OS) and NVIDIA CUDA driver 8.0.90 (again, latest for this OS as far as I can tell). My Maple is 2015.2. All this running on a MacPro 4,1.

I am not having great illusions about the performance I should get (this is not a state-of-the-art card today), but it seems to me this combination should be working with Maple 2015 and not throw an error, shouldn't it? Checking the system extensions: CUDA.kext is loaded and its dependencies are satisfied, so I don't see any problem there.

Am I missing something?
