I am reading the documentation on the `Units[Simple]` package.

There is a section that says

"In the Simple Units environment, in contrast to the Standard and Natural environments, unassigned variables are not automatically assumed to represent unit-free quantities. For example, 5m+x is a valid expression if x is unassigned, because x may represent a length. On the other hand (5m+x)(6s+x) is an invalid expression because the first factor implies that x represents a length and the second factor implies that x is a duration."

The way I understood this paragraph is that in Units:-Simple an unassigned variable is not assumed to represent a unit-free quantity, but in Units:-Standard it is assumed to represent a unit-free quantity.

Consider the expression 5m+x. This expression works in Units:-Simple but not in Units:-Standard.

Units:-Simple adds a quantity 5m to a quantity without units. But why can one add a quantity with units to a quantity without units?

Units:-Standard tries to add a quantity 5m to a quantity that is assumed to have units. What units are assumed?

Next, consider (5m+x)(6s+x).

This fails in both packages, as can be seen below (actually, for some reason, the embed below is not showing the expressions typed in for Units:-Standard, but can be seen if you download the worksheet I imagine).

So my question is, what exactly is the difference between considering unassigned variables to be unit-free vs not unit-free?

Dear all,

I am trying to minimize this polynomial function G on [0,1]x[0,1]:

Maple 2022 seems unable to find the (approximate) minimum. Even adding _EnvExplicit:=true, as suggested here on a previous post, does not fix the issue.

Any suggestion?

Thanks, Nicola

What is the problem with the integral below when I use a variable n?

Download Units_Int.mw

I was just using Maple to do a simple calculation but the units came out all complicated. 

The expression in question is work done by a van der Waals gas. The units should come out to Joules per mol. 

When I do the calculation manually (second expression below) I do get that result, albeit in more basic units than Joules.

In the first expression, in which I am using subs to sub in values with units into the expression, the final expression is very complicated. Why?

Dear all,

I'd like to explore graphically a polynomial surface depending on two parameters a and b.

The problem is that, as soon as I start playing with the sliders, Maple freezes and I have to 'force quit'.

Can you please tell me if you have the same problem with this example?

Thanks.

Dear all,

I have this polynomial function

G(x, y) := (-0.14*y^3 + 1.20000000000000*y^2 - 1.26000000000000*y + 0.200000000000000)*x^3 + (1.20*y^3 - 10.0800000000000*y^2 + 10.0800000000000*y - 1.20000000000000)*x^2 + (-8.82*y + 10.08*y^2 - 1.26*y^3)*x + 1. - 1.2*y^2 + 0.2*y^3

I don't understand why the command

minimize(G(x,y),x=0..1,y=0..1);

produces the error

Error, (in RootOf/RootOf:-algnum_in_range) invalid input: RootOf/RootOf:-rootof_in_range expects its 1st argument, rt, to be of type ('RootOf')(polynom(rational,_Z),identical(index) = posint), but received RootOf(7*_Z^3-93*_Z^2+327*_Z-187)

Thanks for your advices, Nicola

Dear all

I have a function like 

F[1] := (x, y) -> x*y/(1 + 10.35841093*(1 - x)*((-1)*0.9*x + 1)*(1 - y)*((-1)*0.9*y + 1))

This function is continuous on D = [0,1]x[0,1]. I'm interested in the (approximate) value of the double integral over D.

Unfortunately the entry

int(int(F[1](x,y),x=0..1.),y=0..1.)

produces Float(infinity). 

Thanks Nicola

I have this problem with this system of equations, when I solve the 13x13 system it does not give me any solution, neither giving seed values ​​nor placing full digits. The exercise is solved and I tried to assume close values ​​and it doesn't work for me, it leaves everything expressed with the fsolve command.

while running my code i am not able to edit it. when i close my file and re open it then it is edit able but only once after that to re edit i have to run it again.
one more query i am facing is that i have made whole code now i just want to change pde and exact solution of that pde to get different solutions of pde although my code is working for one pde but while changing pde it is giving me error why?
and some times it takes alot of time to evaluate is there any error in the code or should i change my laptop?

kindly help me with all these queries.

'odeadvisor' suggests isolating y(x) from the equation as a first step, y=G(x,y'(x)), then apply the method of 'patterns'. For the first step, y(x) = (9/4)*[(y'(x))^2]/{[int(f(x),x)]^5} is what I found but, could take it no further. Nevertheless, Maple finds an intrinsic solution of the form, (3/4)*y(x)^(4/3) +(2/3)*int(sqrt(y(x)*f(x))^(-5/3) + _C1 =0, from which an explicit solution can be obtained. If anyone can supply the steps leading to the Maple solution - that would be great.

Hello everyone

I need help solving a system of equations as below. I'm looking for a way to do it, but I don't understand the general concept of how such an equation is calculated. So far I've been using a package in LabVIEW that worked similarly to Simulink and that was clear to me, whereas here I'm overwhelmed by the multitude of options and that's why I'm asking for help.

I need to solve these equations analogously to Matlab-Simulink, i.e., a time interval and integration step, and a numerical procedure in symbolic versions.

How do you substitute into a contravariant index of a tensor say

T[~mu, nu]     ?

Nothing seems to work, I tried to subs(~mu=~1,T[~mu, nu]), subs(mu=1,T[~mu, nu]), and all permutations.

Substituting values into the covariant index works fine but not contravariant.

Surely it must be possible ?
