I have reason to believe that the expression below is a real number: 

(1/6)*(-108+(12*I)*sqrt(1419))^(1/3)+10/(-108+(12*I)*sqrt(1419))^(1/3)+1;

A numerical approximation supports that. How can Maple help here to get a simplified expression?

Good day,

I have plotted a family of lines in one graph, and now I want to shade an area between two horizontal (parallel) lines, for example 2 and 5.
So what I did was to use the command 'filled'. First I shaded the area in vertical direction from 0 to 2 white. After that I filled the area in vertical direction from 0 to 5 for example blue.
This results in a shaded area between 2 and 5 in the color blue, what I like to have.

Question: Is there a way (a command) to fill an area between two horizontal lines more easily? So that I shade it between 2 and 5 in just one commandline. Now I first make a part white, and then the next 'layer' behind is in the color I'd like to have.

Another thing is that when I shade an area in the color white, my gridlines disappear! Is there a way to avoid this?

I have found information about shading area between two intersecting lines (can be done relatively easy), but between two horizontal (parallel) lines I still can't find a simpler way to do it.

Somebody got a suggestion?

Greetings,
Frank

Hi there,

i would like to know, how can i change the x-axis labels of an graph?

Currently i read data from text file in format like this:

0 10

1 11

2 14

3 15

This values i plot in a graph with this commands:

averagedValues := readdata("mytextfile.txt", [integer, float]);
plot({averagedValues}, x = 0 .. averagedRowCount)

My problem is, that each x value has a date label....

Dear Maple Developers,

Maple offers OpenMaple, which is nice and sufficient for driving Maple from extermal applications.

On the other hand Maple offers only very limited support for calling Java methods from maple (static emthods only, no objects).

So it is only possible with programming some extra static Java adapter classes to work with Java objects and their methods. This is a very cimbersome and clumsy workaround only.

Compared to applications...

Hello,

I think the answer to my question is not there yet.

So I would like to save some variables in a .m file in an another folder without using the whole C:/.../ thing.

The reason why is that I am using a windows and a mac so if work on my mac I can still execute my reading and my writting commands on my mac.

the file I want to write from is located in :

/Maple_projet/Code/Timoshenko/

and the folder I want to write to is in

I'm using maple 16 to do a surface plot w/ plot3d of a fairly complex integral. The integral involves a number of nested functions. The plot ends up taking a very long time. The surface appears to have many holes in it. In fact, only about half of the surface is plotted, and the rest looks like empty space. I know that the integral/function is defined at these empty points, because I can evaluate it there and get a real number. What can I do to fix this? I've tried different...

My problem is that I have two functions in two variables, say x and y. The functions are both polynomials in x, but sometimes y appears in an exponent. What I want to do is find the gcd of these functions as if they are viewed as polynomials in x. However, when I use the gcd command it says it can not do it because the arguments must be polynomials. I have tried redefining the functions as just functions in x (i.e. h(x) = f(x,y)), but it still does not work. So is there anyway...

At any age we, being somewhat children, ask that. Here is the answer to such a question related to Maple. Let us consider the ODE

ode:=(2x^2-x-1)*y''(x)-(4x^3+x-2)*y'(x)+(4x^3+2x^2-2x+2)*y(x)=0;

and its general solution done with Maple

dsolve(ode);

y(x) = _C1*exp(x^2)+_C2*exp(x)*x.

The first thought is that Maple, mimicking the solution done by hand, finds a particular solution of the equation in the form y*(x)=exp(a*x^2+b*x). It fits...

Hi,

I'm trying to develop a new notation and am having problems with lists vs. sets.

Basically I have things of the form [[a,b]],[[c,d,e]],[[f],[f,h]] and I want to change them to the form [{a,b}],[{c,d,e}],[{f},{f,h}].

I start from a flat list [a,b,c,d,e,f,f,h] and then divide it up, so using sets initially would lose repeated elements. But then once it has been divided up, I need the innermost brackets to be sets.

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro (retina) with Mountain Lion and found that my Maple 12 programs would not run.  So I updated to Maple 16.  Initially all seemed to work well.  But now when i try to open a Maple .mw file, I get the message

"File acm23test.mw could not be found.  Please select a different file."

What has happened and how can I get my programs working again?

Hello guys , i have a matrix that i want to find its eigenvalues , i have its answer but maple calculations didnt give its anwer.

answer:3(1+q),{-3m+sqrt(m*(256m^3+160m^2-31m-16)}/4m(m+1),{-3m-sqrt(m*(256m^3+160m^2-31m-16)}/43(m+1)

m and q can bu any number

maple calculation :

thank you guys

Is it possible when solving a differential equation to get the corresponding recurrence relation of the series expansion instead of the actual solution?

e.g.

ode:=y''=omega^2*y(x)

the solution is obviously exp(\pm omega*x)

But I want

a_(n+2) = omega^2/(n+1)(n+2) * a_n

or something like that

1. nonlinear ODE with parameter "epsilon"

(x^n +epsilon*y(x))dy/dx + n*x^(n-1) * y(x) =m*x^(m-1) ; y(1)=b>1

where n=2,3,4,.. and m=0,1,2,3,...

2. Duffing equation with parameter "epsilon"

d^2 y(x)/dx^2 + y(x) + epsilon*y(x)^3=0 ; y(0)=A ; y'(0)=0
