Hello Maple


I am preparing for an examination in Calculus, but my worksheet in Maple 18 doesn't cooperate. 

A lot of my studypartners use Maple 16 and they have no problems. 


I meet the following error: 

- Error, (in solve) invalid input: hastype expects 2 arguments, but received 1


I'm totally sure, that I'm typing correctly, because I write just the same as my studypartners. 
So is it an error, which only is seen in Maple 18 and can I do anything to solve the problem?

Kind regards
Anders Kristensen

PS: I can't figure out how to add a picture

Cannot calculate derivative (gradient) of a procedure returned by dsolve.

Say, I solve the equation:

S1 := dsolve([diff(y(x), x$2)-1.0325*diff(y(x), x)+1.36*y(x)=sin(2*x), y(0)=0, y(1)=1], numeric, y(x), 'output' = listprocedure);

Its solution easily can be retrieved and looks fine:

H:=rhs(S1[2]); 

plot(H(t), t = 0..1, thickness = 4);

But when I try to calculate the gradient of H, I receive the error:

H1 := codegen[GRADIENT](H);

From art of problem solving ws: "Jamal wants to save 30 files onto disks, each with 1.44 MB space. 3 of the files take up 0.8 MB, 12 of the files take up 0.7 MB, and the rest take up 0.4 MB. It is not possible to split a file onto 2 different disks. What is the smallest number of disks needed to store all 30 files?"

The answer is 13: 3*[0.4,0.8]+6*[0.7,0.7]+4*[0.4,0.4,0.4]

How to accomplish this in maple? my attempt doesnt work, unsurprisingly...

I am trying to do a substitution as shown in the attached document. I know variants of this question have been asked before but dont quiet get what to do. It is problem with algsubs and how it handles denominators I think. Can get substiturion to work for simple fractions but more complicated ones fail. Would appreciate any guidance here.

Is there a way with Maple 18 to place a bracket as shown below to contain two DE's? I am not trying to solve them. Only for note-taking purposes. If there is can you please share how to do it?

Hi 

I'm having a problem with the statements inside a for-loop somehow being read in a different way than outside the loop. 

I've defined some functions earlier, and then I need to perform an integration using these functions, while I change one variable a little for each loop of the for-loop. 

The problem is that IN the for-loop, I get the same value from my integration for all loops. But when I execute the exsact same code OUTSIDE of the loop, I get the correct values, which are changing whenever i change the one variable. 

Here is the loop:

for i from 0 to 42 do

rotorshift := evalf[6](2*((1/180)* i *Pi*((1/2)*Ø[gap]))/N[m]-1/2*(tau[p]-tau[s]));

PMmmf_func := x-> proc (x) if type(x-rotorshift, nonnegative) then if type(trunc((x-rotorshift)/tau[p]), odd) = true then -H[c]*l[m] else H[c]*l[m] end if else if type(trunc((x-rotorshift)/tau[p]), odd) = true then H[c]*l[m] else -H[c]*l[m] end if end if end proc

B[g] := proc (x) -> 1000*mu[0]*(PMmmf_func(x)+MMF_func(x))/d[eff, stator](x) end proc;

Flux(i+1) := (int(B[g](x), 0 .. tau[s])+int(B[g](x), 3*tau[s] .. 4*tau[s])+int(B[g](x), 6*tau[s] .. 7*tau[s])+int(B[g](x), 9*tau[s] .. 10*tau[s]))*10^(-3)*L[ro];

end do;

And for all the values in the "Flux" vector, I get the same value. But when I remove the loop, and change the value of i manually, I get the correct (changing) values of flux!! 

Any ideas why this may be? This is really dricing me nuts. I've spent the beter part of the day on this, and I just can't seem to find a workaround, much less a reason for this behaviour.

many thanks!

I have generated an 8x8 Jacobian, containing a few variables and several zeros as elements. I would like to translate this to LaTeX code. How can I first simplify what I have, to make it tractable?

Here is the Maple code:

eq_1 := Lambda-mu*S-(beta*(H+C+C1+C2)*S+tau*(T+C)*S)/(S+T+H+C+C1+C2+C1M+C2M);
eq_2 := (-beta*(H+C+C1+C2)*T+tau*(T+C)*S)/(S+T+H+C+C1+C2+C1M+C2M)-(mu+mu[T])*T;
eq_3 := (beta*(H+C+C1+C2)*S-tau*(T+C)*H)/(S+T+H+C+C1+C2+C1M+C2M)-(mu+mu[A])*H;
eq_4 := (beta*(H+C+C1+C2)*T+tau*(T+C)*H)/(S+T+H+C+C1+C2+C1M+C2M)-(mu+mu[T]+mu[A]+lambda[T])*C;
eq_5 := lambda[T]*C-(mu+mu[A]+rho[1]+eta[1])*C1;
eq_6 := rho[1]*C1-(mu+mu[A]+rho[2]+eta[2])*C2;
eq_7 := eta[1]*C1-(mu+rho[1]+gamma)*C1M;
eq_8 := eta[2]*C2+rho[1]*C1M-(mu+rho[2]+gamma*rho[1]/(rho[1]+rho[2]))*C2M;
J := VectorCalculus:-Jacobian([eq_1, eq_2, eq_3, eq_4, eq_5, eq_6, eq_7, eq_8], [S, T, H, C, C1, C2, C1M, C2M]);

JQDFE := eval(J, [S = Lambda/(beta-mu[A]), T = 0, H = Lambda*(beta/(mu+mu[A])-1)/(beta-mu[A]), C = 0, C1 = 0, C2 = 0, C1M = 0, C2M = 0]);

Thanks.

Hi,

I use the VectorCalculus package to calcutate derivative formula for geometric functions, and met difficulity simplifying the result expression.

For example, I define some vectors P, S, V like below:

P:=<Px, Py, Pz>, S:=<Sx, Sy, Sz>, V:=<Vx, Vy, Vz>

then define an intermediate variable Q:=P - S,

then define a function d:= sqrt(DotProduct(Q, Q)-(DotProuct(Q,V))^2)

by calculating the function's derivative w.r.t Px I got a very complex result expression:

dpx:=1/2 * (2Px - 2Sx - 2 ( (Px - Sx) Vx + (Py - Sy) Vy + (Pz - Sz)Vz )Vx ) / (sqrt( (Px-Sx)^2 + (Py-Sy)^2 + (Pz-Sz)^2 - .....)

Apparently this expression can be simplified by substituting its sub-expression with pre-defined variables like Q and d.

I know I can use subs, eval, and subsalg to do it manually:

subs(1/(sqrt( (Px-Sx)^2 + (Py-Sy)^2 + (Pz-Sz)^2 - .....) = 1/dv, dfdpx)

subs((Px - Sx) Vx + (Py - Sy) Vy + (Pz - Sz)Vz = dotproduct_q_v, dfdpx)

and I can get a simplified expression like this:

(qx-dotproduct_q_v*vx)/d

But it's like my brain does the simplification first, and Maple only does the text substitution for me.

Is there any way to do it automatically?

Thanks,

-Kai

I experienced strange operation of "union" for sets of vectors.

Mt1:=Matrix(2, 4, [[ 0,1, 0, 0], [ 0,  0,  1, 1]]); Ms := Vector[column](4, [8,4,2,1]); St1 := {}:

St1:= `union`(St1, {Mt1 . Ms});

I am surprised, because each execution of union adds new and the same vector <4 | 3> to set St1:

But after copying any set in the clipboard and pasting the set St1 has only one instance of vector <4 | 3>:

What does it mean?

Does anyone know how to incorporate the tetrad with the directional derivative? I tried using the SumOverIndices, but get crazy results. I know Maple can find the answer easily because I have done the same thing by hand. What am I missing?

The directional derivative should take the form f,₁ = e_a^μ df/dx^μ . The answer is Y,₁ = dY/dζ – Ybar dY/du.  I obviously do not get this result.

I am using the SumOverRepeatedIndices and get a Length of Output Exceeded error. Sometimes if I close the file and restart the program then I get a result and no error.  However, if I recalculate then I get the error.

I am using Maple 18 on a Mac. I also uploaded the tetrad package.  I setup my metric but when I call Christoffel I get the following error.

I appreciate the help.

Hey!

I have this MATLAB script, but as I work in Maple, I'll need to translate it to Maple. 
I know how to define symbols and functions, but I don't know which Maple commands to use, of if it needs to be done in another way, so the problem is translating from " dZ = [dx; dy; ax; ay; dm];" and down.

Any help would truly be greatly appreciated! Thank you!  

This is the script:

function dZ = meteor_step(~, Z)

  P = 1.2; % initial atmospheric pressure
  H = 1.39E-4; % scale height of atm pressure
  E = 8.11131859E6; % evaporation energy
  D = 1; % drag constant
  G = 9.814; % acceleration due to gravity
  PM = 3.3E3; % density of the meteor
  
  S = 3.986E14; % standard gravitational parameter of Earth (G*M)
  R = 6.3674447E6; % radius of the Earth (meters)

  x = Z(1);  
  y = Z(2);
  dx = Z(3);
  dy = Z(4);
  m = Z(5);
  
  atm = P*exp(-y*H);

  v = sqrt(dx^2+dy^2);

  area = pi * ( (3*m)/(4*PM) )^(2/3);

  dist = sqrt(x^2+y^2);
  Gv = -9.8;

  accel = -(D*atm*area)/m*v;
  ax = accel * dx;
  ay = accel * dy + Gv;
  

  dm = -(atm*v^3*area)/(2*E);
  
  dZ = [dx; dy; ax; ay; dm];
  
end

[t, R] = ode45(@meteor_step, [0 250], [0, 100000, 100, -300, 25]);

x = R(:,1);
y = R(:,2);

dx = R(:,3);
dy = R(:,4);

v = (dx.^2+dy.^2).^(1/2);

m = R(:,5);

I am just starting with Maple 18 on Windows 8.1. I did not like the default color palette for 2D graphs and tried another one. So I edited my maple.ini file, which was in
