I can't figure what is going on here. I have an expression, where when I run the program, I see inside the debugger that the result of evalb(simplify(tmp_1)) where tmp_1 is the expression, gives false

When I copy the same tmp_1 expression to new worksheet and do evalb(simplify(tmp_1)) it gives true.

I added print statements in the code to print tmp_1 and print result of simplify(tmp_1) and for some reason, it gives false when I run the program, but it gives true when I do the same thing in a work sheet, by copying tmp_1 and trying it there.

Never seen anything like this, as expression is all numbers. Here is the print out when I run the program

Here is the same thing in worksheet

restart;
tmp_1 :=-(2*ln(-2))/7 - ln(-1)/7 = ln(1) - (2*ln(-2))/7 - ln(-1)/7;
simplify(tmp_1);
evalb(simplify(tmp_1));

                      true

and if you think I made mistake somewhere, here is also screen shot from the debugger window itself

again, same thing gives true in separate worksheet, copying same exact expression from above

There seem to be something loaded when I run my program that causes this difference, but I have no idea now what it is.  This has nothing to do with the debugger loaded btw, I am just using the debugger to show the details. When I run the program, without the debugger, I get false for the above, and I was trying to find why.

Any suggestions what to try and what to check for and what could cause this? Should it not give true when I run the program also? Could it be some Digits setting changed when the program run? I do not change any system defaults of any sort when running the program.

Here is another manifestation of the same problem I just found. There is something seriously wrong for it to behave this way.

This is an expression called tmp_1 in a local variable in a proc inside a module. There are not even any local symbols in it. When I run the program, all the attempts to show it is true fail. Some give FAIL and some give false when the result should be true

When I simply copy the expression from the debugger window to an open worksheet, I get true

Here is the screen shot

Only when I did is(expand(tmp_1)) did it give true

But when I copy the expression to the worksheet, it gives true using all the other attempts:

restart;
tmp_1:=1 = 5/4*exp(0)+1/4*piecewise(0 <= 1,-1,1 < 0,exp(-2)):
is(tmp_1);
is(simplify(tmp_1));
is((rhs-lhs)(tmp_1)=0);
is(simplify((rhs-lhs)(tmp_1)=0));
evalb(simplify((rhs-lhs)(tmp_1)=0));
is(expand(tmp_1))

I can't make a MWE so far, since these problems only show up with I run my large program. I think Maple internal memory get messed up or something else is loaded that causes these stranges problems.

For now, I added expand() to the things I should try. My current code now looks like

if is(tmp_1) or is(simplify(tmp_1)) or is((rhs-lhs)(tmp_1)=0)
               or is(simplify((rhs-lhs)(tmp_1)=0)) or evalb(simplify((rhs-lhs)(tmp_1)=0))
               or is(expand(tmp_1)) then    
   ....

Maple 2021.1

I need to change any occurance of   anything*sqrt(anything)  to say Z in any large expression.  (later, I can add the correct replacement once I know how to do it for Z).

I can change   sqrt(anything) with the help of the answers in Substitution-Of-Sub-Expressions-Is  but not  anything*sqrt(anything)

Here is an example to make it clear. Given

expr:=(-x + sqrt(9*x^2*exp(2*c) + 8)*exp(-c)+99)/(4*x)+ (a*sqrt(z)-99+sin(c*sqrt(r+4)+20))/3+10+1/(c+exp(-x)*sqrt(exp(x)))+sqrt(h)

Need to all some transformation on  those subexpressions circled above. For now, lets say I wanted to replace them with Z so it should becomes this

I can do this

subsindets(expr,anything^({1/2,-1/2}),ee->Z)

But I need to have the term (if any) that multiplies the sqrt as well included.

And that is the problem. Can't figure how to do it. When I try

subsindets(expr,anything*anything^({1/2,-1/2}),ee->Z)

Maple says Error, testing against an invalid type Ok. So anything*anything^({1/2,-1/2}) is not a type. What to do then?  Tried also subsindets(expr,t::anything*anything^({1/2,-1/2}),ee->Z) same error

And 

applyrule(t1::anything*sqrt(t0::anything)=Z, expr);

gives  Z which is wrong.

How to make this work in Maple using subsindets? Can one use pattern with subsindets? How to make a type for

               anything*sqrt(anything) 

Maple 2021.1

Why Maple likes to extract exp() outside the sqrt when its argument has minus sign vs. not?  Compare the following

restart;
eq2 := ln(2*u^2 + u - 1) = -c - 2*ln(x);
sol:=[solve(eq2,u)]:
simplify(sol[1])

and

eq2 := ln(2*u^2 + u - 1) = c - 2*ln(x);
sol:=[solve(eq2,u)]:
simplify(sol[1])

I like the above much better than the first one. Mathematica keeps both same form (i.e. keeps the exp() inside):

Maple's answers are correct ofcourse, I just do not understand the logic why when there is a minus sign on c it likes to format it differently as shown.

Is there a way to make not do that?

In Maple 2021.1

restart;
int(cos(3*x)/(-(-1+8*cos(x)^2)^(1/2)+(3*cos(x)^2-sin(x)^2)^(1/2)),x)

gives

Error, (in SumTools:-DefiniteSum:-ClosedForm) numeric exception: division by zero

But in Maple 2020.2 it works OK giving an answer. (A very long one)

btw, the answer should be

3/4*arcsin(2/3*sin(x)*3^(1/2))-3/4*arctan(sin(x)/(-1+4*cos(x)^2)^(1/2))-3/4*arctan(sin(x)/(-1+8*cos(x)^2)^(1/2
))+5/8*arcsin(2/7*sin(x)*14^(1/2))*2^(1/2)-1/2*sin(x)*(-1+4*cos(x)^2)^(1/2)-1/2*sin(x)*(-1+8*cos(x)^2)^(1/2)

Is this a known issue? I know Maple int has went some changes and improvements in Maple 2021 from the release notes. May be this was caused by some of these changes?

dsolve accept system of first order ode's in the form x'=A x, where x' is vector, A is matrix of coefficients and x are the dependent variables. This is convenient since one does not have to convert things to a list.

But  dfieldplot and phaseportrait and DEplot do not accept this form. One must convert things to list first.

Here is an example

restart;
sys:=Vector([diff(x(t),t),diff(y(t),t)]) = Matrix([[1,2],[0,3]]).Vector([x(t),y(t)]);
dsolve(sys)

But

DEtools:-dfieldplot(sys,[x(t),y(t)],t=0..4,x=-4..4, y=-4..4);

Error, (in DEtools/dfieldplot) system must have same number of dependent variables as DE's.

workaround is to write the system as list

new_sys:=[diff(x(t), t)=x(t) + 2*y(t),diff(y(t), t)=3*y(t)];
DEtools:-dfieldplot(new_sys,[x(t),y(t)],t=0..4,x=-4..4, y=-4..4);

I know one can automate the conversion. But still, it would be better if dfieldplot would accept sys as dsolve did.

Same for 

DEtools:-phaseportrait(sys,[x(t),y(t)],t=0..4,[[x(0)=1,y(0)=0]],x=-4..4, y=-4..4);
#
DEtools:-DEplot(sys,[x(t),y(t)],t=0..4,[[x(0)=1,y(0)=0]],x=-4..4, y=-4..4);

They gives same error.

Since dsolve can do it, may be these other functions can also support taking a system of ode's in vector/matrix form? Any reason why not?
