Here is a little animation to wish all of you a Merry Christmas

FireWorks.mw


Here we simulate the motion of a container with a flat bottom that can slide on a horizontal surface subject to dry friction (Coulomb friction).  Installed inside the container is an ordinary mass/spring/damper system where the mass slides horizontally.  We impart an initial velocity to the container.  That sets the mass into motion which then affects the container's motion.  Under certain conditions the container will undergo a stick-slip motion which is evident in the simulation.

This simulation very roughly approximates the motion of a partially filled bucket of water that slides on the floor when kicked.  The idea arose in a discussoin with Carl Love and mmcdara:
https://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/211677-Mass-Spring-Conveyor-Belt-And-Dry-Friction

In the animation below, the container is shown in dark color when it slides against the floor, and light color when it sticks.

Worksheet: slosh.mw

 

Here is an animation of a mass-spring system where the mass slides horizontally on a steadily moving conveyor belt.

The contact between the block of mass and the belt is of the dry friction kind (Coulomb's friction). Consequently the block periodically sticks to the belt and moves forward with it until the force of the stretching spring overcomes the force of friction and yanks it back, making it to slip against the belt. In the animation the block is shown in a dark color while slipping, and a light color while sticking.

The fully executed Maple worksheet can be slow to load and requires a good deal of memory. Therefore I have attached two versions which are identical in all respects except that in one of them I have removed the Maple output to make is easy to load if your computer has limitations.

Here is two solutions with Maple of the problem A2 of  Putnam Mathematical Competition 2019 . The first solution is entirely based on the use of the  geometry  package; the second solution does not use this package. Since the triangle is defined up to similarity, without loss of generality, we can set its vertices  A(0,0) , B(1,0) , C(x0,y0)  and then calculate the parameters  x0, y0  using the conditions of the problem. 


 

The problem

A2: In the triangle ∆ABC, let G be the centroid, and let I be the center of the
inscribed circle. Let α and β be the angles at the vertices A and B, respectively.
Suppose that the segment IG is parallel to AB and that  β = 2*arctan(1/3).  Find α.

Maple can easily solve the B4 problem of the Putnam Mathematical Competition 2019  link

 

B4.  Let F be the set of functions f(x,y) that are twice continuously differentiable for x≥1, y≥1 and that satisfy the following two equations:
    x*(diff(f(x, y), x))+y*(diff(f(x, y), y)) = x*y*ln(x*y)

x^2*(diff(f(x, y), x, x))+y^2*(diff(f(x, y), y, y)) = x*y

 

For each f2F, let

 

"m(f) = min[s>=1]  (f(s+1,s+1)-f(s+1,s)-f(s,s+1)+f(s,s))"

 

Determine m(f), and show that it is independent of the choice of f.


 

# Solution

pdsolve({
x*diff(f(x,y),x)+y*diff(f(x,y),y) = x*y*ln(x*y),
x^2*diff(f(x,y),x,x)+y^2*diff(f(x,y),y,y) = x*y

Hi, 

As an amusement,  I decided several months ago to develop some procedures to fill a simple polygon* by hatches or simple textures.

* A simple polygon is a polygon  whose sides either do not intersect or either have a common vertex.

This work started with the very simple observation that if I was capable to hatch or texture a triangle, I will be too to hatch or texture any simple polygon once triangulated.
I also did some work to extend this work to non-simple polygons but there remains some issues to fix (which explains while it is not deliverd here).

The main ideat I used for hatching and texturing is based upon the description of each triangles by a set of 3 inequalities that any interior point must verify.
A hatch of this triangle is thius a segment whose each point is interior.
The closely related idea is used for texturing. Given a simple polygon, periodically replicated to form the texture, the set of points of each replicate that are interior to a given triangle must verify a set of inequalities (the 3 that describe the triangle, plus N if the pattern of the texture is a simple polygon with N sides).

Unfortunately I never finalise this work.
Recently @Christian Wolinski asked a question about texturing that reminded me this "ancient" work of mine.
So I decided to post it as it is, programatically imperfect, lengthy to run, and most of all french-written for a large part.
I guess it is a quite unorthodox way to proceed but some here could be interested by this work to take it back and improve it.

The module named "trianguler" (= triangulate) is a translation into Maple of Frederic Legrand's Python code (full reference given in the worksheet).
I added my own procedure "hachurer" (= hatching) to this module.
The texturing part is not included in this module for it was still in development.

A lot of improvements can be done that I could list, but I prefer not to be too intrusive in your evaluation of this work. So make your own idea about it and do not hesitate to ask me any informations you might need (in particular translation questions).


PS: this work has been done with Maple 2015.2

                                                 Computational geometry,  (Springer, 2010)

Direct translation of the Frederic Legrand's Python code


Meaning of the different french terms

voisin_sommet  (n, i, di)
        let L the list [1, ..., n] where n is the number of vertices
        This procedure returns the index of the neighbour (voisin) of the vertex (sommet) i when L is rotated by di

equation_droite  (P0, P1, M)
        Let P0 and P1 two vertices and M an arbitrary point.
        Let (P0, P1) the vector originated at P0 and ending at P1 (idem for (P0, M)) and u__Z the unitary vector in the Z direction.
        This procedure returns (P0, P1) o (P0, M) . u__Z

point_dans_triangle  (triangle, M) P1, P2]
        This procedure returns "true" if point M is within (strictly) the  triangle "triangle" and "false" if not.

sommet_distance_maximale  (polygone, P0, P1, P2, indices)    
        Given a polygon (polygone) threes vertices P0, P1 and P2 and a list of indices , this procedure returns
        the vertex of the polygon "polygone" which verifies: 1/ this vertex is strictly within
        the triangle [P0, P1, P2] and 2/ it is the farthest from side [P1, P2] amid all the vertices that verifies point 1/.
        If there is no such vertex the procedure returns NULL.

sommet_gauche (polygone)
        This procedure returns the index of the leftmost ("gauche" means "left") vertex in polygon "polygone".
        If more than one vertices have the same minimum abscissa value then only the first one is returned.

nouveau_polygone(polygone,i_debut,i_fin)
        This procedure creates a new polygon from index i_debut (could be translated by i_first) to i_end (i_last)

trianguler_polygone_recursif(polygone)
        This procedure recursively divides a polygon in two parts A and B from its leftmost vertex.
         If A (B) is a triangle the list "liste_triangles" (mening "list of triangles") is augmented by A (B);
         if not the procedure executes recursively on A and B.

trianguler_polygone(polygone)
         This procedure triangulates the polygon "polygon"

hachurer(shapes, hatch_angle, hatch_number, hatch_color)
         This procedure generates stes of hatches of different angles, colors and numbers


Limitations:
   1/ "polygone" is a simply connected polygon
   2/  two different sides S and S', either do not intersect or either have a common vertex

We recently had a question about using some of the plotting commands in Maple to draw things. We were feeling creative and thought why not take it a step further and draw something in 3D.

Using the geom3d, plottools, and plots packages we decided to make a gingerbread house.

To make the base of the house we decided to use 2 cubes, as these would give us additional lines and segments for the icing on the house.

point(p__1,[2,3,2]):
point(p__2,[3,3,2]):
cube(c1,p__1,2):
cube(c2,p__2,2):
base:=draw([c1,c2],color=tan);

Using the same cubes but changing the style to be wireframe and point we made some icing lines and decorations for the gingerbread house.

base_decor1:=draw([c1,c2],style=wireframe,thickness=3,color=red,transparency=0.2):
base_decor2:=draw([c1,c2],style=wireframe,thickness=10,color=green,linestyle=dot):
base_decor3:=draw([c1,c2],style=point,thickness=2,color="Silver",symbol=sphere):
base_decor:=display(base_decor1,base_decor2,base_decor3);

To create the roof we found the vertices of the cubes and used those to find the top corners of the base.

v1:=vertices(c1):
v2:=vertices(c2):
pc1:=seq(point(pc1||i,v1[i]),i=1..nops(v1)):
pc2:=seq(point(pc2||i,v2[i]),i=1..nops(v2)):
topCorners:=[pc1[5],pc1[6],pc2[1],pc2[2]]:
d1:=draw(topCorners):

Using these top corners we found the midpoints (where the peak of the roof would be) and added the roof height to the coordinates.

midpoint(lc1,topCorners[1],topCorners[2]):
detail(lc1);

point(cc1,[-(2*sqrt(3))/3 + 2, (2*sqrt(3))/3 + 3+1, 2]):
d3:=draw(cc1):

midpoint(lc2,topCorners[3],topCorners[4]):
detail(lc2);

point(cc2,[(2*sqrt(3))/3 + 3, (2*sqrt(3))/3 + 3+1, 2]):
d4:=draw(cc2):

With the midpoints and vertices at the front and rear of the house we made two triangles for the attic of the gingerbread house.

triangle(tf,[topCorners[1],topCorners[2],cc1]):
front:=draw(tf,color=brown):

triangle(tb,[topCorners[3],topCorners[4],cc2]):
back:=draw(tb,color=tan):

Using these same points again we made more triangles to be the roof.

triangle(trl,[cc1,cc2,pc1[5]]):
triangle(trh,[pc2[2],pc1[6],cc1]):
triangle(tll,[cc1,cc2,pc2[2]]):
triangle(tlh,[pc2[1],pc1[5],cc2]):
roof:=draw([trl,trh,tll,tlh],color="Chocolate");

Our gingerbread house now had four walls, a roof, and icing, but no door. Creating the door was as easy as making a parallelepiped, but what is a door without more icing?

door:=display(plottools:-parallelepiped([1,0,0],[0,1.2,0],[0,0,0.8],[0.8,1.9,1.6]),color="DarkRed"):
door_decor1:=display(plottools:-parallelepiped([1,0,0],[0,1.2,0],[0,0,0.8],[0.8,1.9,1.6]),color="Gold",style=line):
door_decor2:=display(plottools:-parallelepiped([1,0,0],[0,1.2,0],[0,0,0.8],[0.8,1.9,1.6]),color="Silver", style=line,linestyle=dot,thickness=5):
door_decor:=display(door_decor1,door_decor2):

Now having a door we could have left it like this, but what better way to decorate a gingerbread house than with candy canes? Naturally, if we were going to have one candy cane we were going to have lots of candy canes. To facilitate this we made a candy cane procedure.

candy_pole:=proc(c:=[0,0,0], {segR:=0.1}, {segH:=0.1}, {segn:=7}, {tilt_theta:=0}, {theta:=0}, {arch:=true}, {flip:=false})
local cane1,cane2,cane_s,cane_c,cane0,cane,i,cl,cd,ch, cane_a,tmp,cane_ac,cane_a1,cane00,cane01,cane02,cane_a1s,tmp2,cane_a2s:
uses plots,geom3d:
cl:=c[1]:
cd:=c[2]:
ch:=c[3]:
cane1:=plottools:-cylinder([cd, ch, cl], segR, segH,style=surface):

cane2:=display(plottools:-rotate(cane1,Pi/2,[[cd,ch,cl],[cd+1,ch,cl]])):
cane_s:=[cane2,seq(display(plottools:-translate(cane2,0,segH*i,0)),i=1..segn-1)]:
cane_c:=seq(ifelse(type(i,odd),red,white),i=1..segn):

cane0:=display(cane_s,color=[cane_c]):

if arch then

cane_a:=plottools:-translate(cane2,0,segH*segn-segH/2,0):
tmp:=i->plottools:-rotate(cane_a,i*Pi/24, [ [cd,ch+segH*segn-segH/2,cl+segR*2] , [cd+1,ch+segH*segn-segH/2,cl+segR*2] ] ):

cane_ac:=seq(ifelse(type(i,odd),red,white),i=1..24):

                cane_a1s:=seq(plottools:-translate(tmp(i),0,segH*i/12,segR*i/4),i=1..12):

tmp2:=i->plottools:-rotate(cane_a1s[12],i*Pi/24,[[cd,ch+segH*segn-0.05,cl+segR*2],[cd+1,ch+segH*segn-0.05,cl+segR*2]]):

cane_a2s:=seq(plottools:-translate(tmp2(i),0,-segH*i/500,segR*i/4),i=1..12):
cane_a1:=display(cane_a1s,cane_a2s,color=[cane_ac]):
cane00:=display(cane0,cane_a1);

                if flip then

cane01:=plottools:-rotate(cane00,tilt_theta,[[cd,ch,cl],[cd+1,ch,cl]]):
cane02:=plottools:-rotate(cane01,theta,[[cd,ch,cl],[cd,ch+1,cl]]):
cane:=plottools:-reflect(cane01,[[cd,ch,cl],[cd,ch+1,cl]]):

                else

cane01:=plottools:-rotate(cane00,tilt_theta,[[cd,ch,cl],[cd+1,ch,cl]]):
cane:=plottools:-rotate(cane01,theta,[[cd,ch,cl],[cd,ch+1,cl]]):

                end if:

                return cane:

else

                cane:=plottools:-rotate(cane0,tilt_theta,[[cd,ch,cl],[cd+1,ch,cl]]):

                return cane:

end if:

end proc:

With this procedure we decided to add candy canes to the front, back, and sides of the gingerbread house. In addition we added two candy poles.

Candy Canes in front of the house:

cane1:=candy_pole([1.2,0,2],segn=9,arch=false):
cane2:=candy_pole([2.8,0,2],segn=9,arch=false):
cane3:=candy_pole([2.7,0.8,3.3],segn=9,segR=0.05,tilt_theta=-Pi/7):
cane4:=candy_pole([1.3,0.8,3.3],segn=9,segR=0.05,tilt_theta=-Pi/7,flip=true):
front_canes:=display(cane1,cane2,cane3,cane4):

Candy Canes at the back of the house:

caneb3:=candy_pole([1.5,4.2,2.5],segn=15,segR=0.05,tilt_theta=-Pi/3,flip=true):
caneb4:=candy_pole([2.5,4.2,2.5],segn=15,segR=0.05,tilt_theta=-Pi/3):}
back_canes:=display(caneb3,caneb4):

Candy Canes at the left of the house:

canel1:=candy_pole([0.8,1.5,2.5],segn=15,segR=0.05,tilt_theta=-Pi/7,theta=Pi/2):
canel2:=candy_pole([0.8,2.5,2.5],segn=15,segR=0.05,tilt_theta=-Pi/7,theta=Pi/2):
canel3:=candy_pole([0.8,4,2.5],segn=15,segR=0.05,tilt_theta=-Pi/7,theta=Pi/2):
left_canes:=display(canel1,canel2,canel3):

Candy Canes at the right of the house:

caner1:=candy_pole([3.2,1.5,2.5],segn=15,segR=0.05,tilt_theta=-Pi/7,theta=Pi/2):
caner2:=candy_pole([3.2,2.5,2.5],segn=15,segR=0.05,tilt_theta=-Pi/7,theta=Pi/2):
caner3:=ca
