Hi, fairly simple question,

I solve a simple equation:

solve(x^x = 4, allsolutions, explicit);

#(2*(I*Pi*_Z7+ln(2)))/LambertW(_Z9, 2*ln(2)+(2*I)*Pi*_Z7)

Maple  gave me solution with prefix _Z for integer values, but why  _Z9 must be exactly equal  Zero  to be correct ?.

If _Z9 is integer it can also take other values than zero ?

Thanks in advance.

There is a builtin command "callback". It exists both in Maple 5 and today's Maple. There is no documentation on it. What is it? Why does it exist? Is there any code that uses it?

Hi, fairly simple question,
I've been using the physics package to calculate various different tensors but I can't see that I can calculate a cotton tensor for a given metric, is this included in the physics package? If so what is the calling sequence as I cannot find it. I understand I could use the differential geometry package but I do not want to as I don't know how to set up an arbitrary metric, thanks in advance.

Where can I find help with graphing on Maple?

Hi there,

I have difficulties in solving the first partial derivatives dw/db and dw/dvarphi of this equation with its constraint:

w := exp(exp(x*b)*(r-1)/(1+varphi*exp(x*b))) where ln(r) = varphi*(exp(x*b))(r-1)/(1+varphi*exp(x*b))-1

Please help.

Regards,

For MapleSim users, the update includes optimizations for handling large models, improvements to model import and export, updates to the hydraulics and pneumatics libraries, and more. For more details and download instructions, visit the MapleSim 2018.2 download page.

Hi all,

Anyone knows how to see a manual for DirectSearch:-GlobalSearch that explains what is done inside the function?

I tried to write "help(DirectSearch:-GlobalSearch)" and nothing. It opened an empty page written (no matches found). Is there any help for this function so I can know what's going on there?

More specifically, I'm trying solve the optimization probelm min(||Ax-b||_p) s.t. ||x||=1.

where A is a given matrix of size (n \times d)

b is a given vector of size (n \times 1)

p>0 is a scalar

and x is an unkown vector of size (d \times 1) that should be a unit vector.

I used DirectSearch:-GlobalSearch to solve this optimization problem. But since it's a non-convex optimization probelm, the function doesn't always return the optimal value. I want to read the manual of the function to understand what is done there and for which cases there are most chances that the function will not return the optimal value.

Thanks

Given any threshold value, I am interested in obtaining a quantity of interest using the inverse negative binomial distribution. This requires extracting the value from the discrete CDF and I am using the Quantile(X, threshold value) function.

The parameters of the NBD are given as r and p and the routine I have written (attached) works in some cases, but I have noticed that, for small values of p, the Maple program runs for excessive times to attempt to output the Quantile solution. For instance, if p = 0.3, the solution is fast but when p = 0.003, Maple continues to evaluate the solution with no result (I have interrupted computations after 2 hours).

In the attached example, p is set to 1.965 and r is 0.5. The threshold value is 0.98 and the associated solution, Q, for this value is determined to be Q=7.

Does anybody know how to help with this? I would be grateful for any help along the way. 

Is it possible to output to the console without a new line being added. The code:

prints each number on a separate line. I want to print them all on the same line.

Hi

I want to write a code to show that

Please check the following code:

restart;
with(VectorCalculus):
SetCoordinates(cartesian[x, y, z]): 
g1 := proc (u1, u2, u3, s)
local N, u, n, intr1, intr2, intr3, R1, R2:
u := VectorField([u1, u2, u3]): 
N := Gradient(s): 
n := N/sqrt(add(N[k]^2, k = 1 .. 3)): 
intr1 := solve(subs(z = 0, s), y): 
intr2 := solve(subs(z = 0, y = 0, s)): 
R1 := int(int(subs(z = solve(s, z)[1], u . n), y = intr1[1] .. intr1[2]), x = intr2[1] .. intr2[2], numeric):
intr1 := solve(s, z): 
intr2 := solve(subs(z = 0, s), y):
intr3 := solve(subs(z = 0, y = 0, s)): 
R2 := evalf(int(int(int(Del . u, z = intr1[1] .. intr1[2]), y = intr2[1] .. intr2[2]), x = intr3[1] .. intr3[2])):
print(R1, R2) 
end proc

It seems that different answers are obtained.

g1(x, 1, z, x^2+y^2+z^2-2);

Hello!

I am trying to determine the type of Lie algebra originating from Killing vectors. However, Maple says that some variable x is protected (though, I guess, it shouldn't even be in the L). Is there any way to solve this issue?

Best regards, 
Nick

Hi,

I have this fonction  solve({f(x,y)});  giving this  for example { x = 13, y =259 }

how can reuse the result for a an other fonction.

Thanks

Hi, 

I would like to have some references about the function PolyhedralSets:-PolyhedralSet.
I used it very recently before constructing the convex hull  (PolyhedralSets:-ConvexHull) of a set of 50 points.
After some minutes spent to wait for a solution, I was forced to stop the computation.
I randomly sampled 10 points, next 20, 30, ... from the original set of points and observed that the computational time was growing very fast with the number of points.

Could you please inform me about the algorithm Maple uses and about its complexity?

Last point: the original points are floating numbers and I used the transformation  T: x -->  rounf(10^k*x) / 10^k (PolyhedralSets:-PolyhedralSet operates only on rationals).
It seems that the computational time increases strongly as k increases too.

What are the limitations and best practices to use PolyhedralSets:-PolyhedralSet?

Hello, 

I am fairly new to using the Maple software, so I apologize if my question is completely idiotic. Apologies, also, because I could not manage to enter my code as code. When I pressed the button it made the whole text as a code. 

I run the following code to seek -if there are any- analytic solutions for the following differential equation.

odeplus := (r^2+L^2)^(5/2)*(diff(f(r), `$`(r, 2)))+((15/4)*r*(r^2+L^2)^(1/2)+3*(r^2+L^2)^(5/2)/r)*(diff(f(r), r))+M^2*f(r)/(r^2+L^2)^(5/2)-((5/2)*((r^2+L^2)^(1/2))(l-1)+(55/64)*r^2/(r^2+L^2)^(3/2)+(r^2+L^2)^(5/2)*(l^2+3*l+3/2)/r^2)*f(r)+(((r^2+L^2)^(1/2))(5+(5/2)*l)+(5/8)*r^2/(r^2+L^2)^(3/2)-(r^2+L^2)^(5/2)*(3/2+l)/r^2)*f(r) = 0

and then I do 

dsolve(odeplus, f(r))

The solutions that Maple returns is given in terms of DESol. Could anyone try and break it down for me? What is this telling me and if I can indeed from the output obtain analytic solutions? Is this some sort of operator acting on something? 

Thank you in advance. 

hi.

I can not gain answer for integral.
