## How to get shift and dual_shift for the same varia...

I want to do the following: Suppose we are given a linear recurrence operator with polynomial coefficients say (n+2)N^2+(2n^2-3n+5)+(n-4) where N is the shift operator with respect to n. I want to apply the following substitution:

(i) N-> (N+1)

(ii) n->n(N^(-1)+1)

and compute the corresponding equation. To do this, I want to use Maple's Ore_Algebra package. However, I could not define N and N^(-1), i.e N inverse, at the same time.

To sum up, I want to get something like

A := Ore_Algebra(shift= [N,n] , dual_shift=[Ninv,n]); however it is not allowed.

## Is there a builtin way to add a Units type to a va...

This should be pretty simple.

    with(Units:-Standard);
local var::Unit(kg);     #generates a warning
var := 1;
var;                     #-> 1 kg... alas this doesn't work (it's just 1)

In other words, I want to declare a variable with an unknown quantity and known Unit at the outset similar to how things are done in C-style languages, and later set the numeric value. The goal is to make it easier to manipulate functions that deal with lots of different physics unit types without having to write them each individual line. For example on lines 10-13 I manually include the units when it would be more convenient if they were already tied to the variable they're associated with.

Solving a simple physics problem to find the radius of a planet with the universal gravitational constant & known density:

I know types exists in Maple, i.e.

    evalfr := proc(expr, iexact::integer := 0)
if   0 < iexact   then  return convert(evalf(expr), rational, iexact);
elif iexact = -1  then  convert(evalf(expr), rational, exact);
else                    return convert(evalf(expr), rational);
end if; end proc

This just being a wrapper with iexact typed as an integer setting up a set of conditionals around evalf to rationalize an expression when using ScientificConstants.

I've considered using anonymous functions to emulate this behavior with setters and getters, but that seems like overkill for something that is probably builtin. For the time being I have configured my worksheet so it references secondary variables,

    var := var2*Unit(kg)

This strikes me as somewhat inelegant. Also trying to use the same variable name in-line (i.e. var := var*Unit(kg)) gives Error, recursive assignment.

I am curious if there is a correct Maple way to do something like this. Or would I have to implement some sort of anonymous function to get the behavior I want? Appreciate any help!

## Sharing to Maple Cloud with own libraries...

I'm trying to upload a file to Maple Cloud for the first time, but I am getting an error due to the way I use libraries.

The first lines of the startup code in the sheet look like this.

libname := "S:/Maple/NODE_Library", libname;
with(NODETreMaterial);
with(NODETreTverrsnitt);

The libraries are on a network drive on our server.

The question is - how can I solve this? Would it be better to somehow upload those libraries to Maple Cloud (no idea how to do that by the way), or can it be solved in a different way?

## partial differential equation ...

Hello,

is it possible to solve the attached partial differential equation with zero initial boundary condition?

If not by assuming diff(u(sigma, tau, phi, t), t, t)=0 is there an answer for the equation?

## How do I solve my Eqs. in Maple?...

Suppose two following Eqs.:

(1) du/dt+d(u*w)/dx=0

(2) dw/dt+wdw/dx=0

I want to expand u(x,t) and w(x,t) in the power series of epsilon

u=u0+epsilon*u1+epsilon^2*u2+…

w=w0+epsilon*w1+epsilon^2*w2+…

and change the variables x,t to X,T as follows

X=(x-alpha*t) and T=beta*t,

and solving Eqs. (1) and (2) for different order of epsilon (epsilon, epsilon^2, epsilon^3,…) to finding u0,w0,u1,w1,…

How do I do that?

Thanks.

## How to plot Bloch sphere on maple?...

If we have an equation for the generalized Bloch sphere i.e.,

\partial_{t}(u^{2} + v^{2} + w^{2}) = 0,

where u, v and w are functions of x and t and the initial conditions u=v=0, w=-1. Then how to plot this equation on maple?

## Vector issues and Excel .csv ArrayTools Append bug...

Noticed an issue with Vector and excel.  Not even really excel but I found it through that.

If I select a row in excel and do a copy paste into Maple it sometimes appears as if it's a list.  ie it shows up as [1,2,3,4]  other times it shows up as [ 1 2 3 4 ] signifying an array (for this example I've saved as the data under the variable a).  Running whattype(a) on the data shows they're both arrays.  Of course it's probably wise to instead load data through Excel into Maple by using the ExcelTools and Import option, however I didn't think there was no reason to use the copy paste option.  It does, to some extent, or maybe, well, it shows a limitation.

In the first instance when it shows up as a list, I thought it might be simple enough just to add other numbers in the list ie/ just tack on ,5,6,7,8 after the 4.  But after pressing enter we get the error

Error, invalid sequence

I don't understand why I couldn't just add to the copied data but maybe it's the formatting of the data that was pasted into maple?

With the original copied data, I can use with(plots):  listplot(a) no problem however, we want to add data.  ArrayTools will let us Append data to the vector

with(plots):
with(ArrayTools):
Append(a,5,6,7,8)

listplot(a) # will throw another error

Error, (in plots:-pointplot) points cannot be converted to floating-point values (this doesn't show in Maple 2019 but does come up in Maple 18)

For Maple 2019 it with responds with a returned array [ 1 2 3 4 5,6,7,8]

Running listplot on that Appended Array.  Maple only recognizes the next 1 added value.

So this means appending values using ArrayTools and Append only allows us to append one value at a time?  Is that a bug?  Are there better ways to append values to vectors?  The only solution for that is to convert to a list and use op to append more values.  But perhaps Maple should have understood the copied values from Excel should have been a list or listlist of values?

## Error, (in OrProp) too many levels of recursion. t...

This is very strange problem, and it seems to happen at random times.

From my worksheet, I call a function in a local fille maple_proc.mpl. This function ends up calling int() command with a timeout.

I Have the int() call wrapped by try...catch:.. end try in order to catch timeout and any other error.

Yet, when I run my worksheet, looping over hundreds of integrals, for each one, calling the function in maple_proc to integrate it, and after running for many many integrals, then sometimes, the worksheet terminates with error, at some iteration with error

Error, (in OrProp) too many levels of recursion |maple_proc.mpl:45|

So the try/catch I have in place are not catching the above error, wherever it is coming from.

line 44 in maple_proc.mpl, just does this (it is the line with cpu_time := .... below

try
print(before calling int);
cpu_time := timelimit(180,CodeTools[Usage](assign('result_of_int',int(lst[i,1],lst[i,2])),output='realtime')):
print(after calling int);
catch "time expired":
#...
catch:
#...
end try;


Again, this works for sometimes for hundreds of iterations, and then on some entry, it gives this error.

I do not use recursion myself at all. i.e. I have no place where the function calls itself. Worksheet does a loop, and in each interation calls this function in maple_proc.mpl.

Sometimes, when I run the worksheet again, the error do not show up again. I have print statements in the catch above, and these do not show up at all, which means this error is not cought.

What should I do to find why this happens? This did not happen in Maple 2019.2. Is there any other way to trap this error so my loop does not terminate like this and I have to restart it again each time?

I am using Physics 642 and Maple 2020 on windows 10.

Update

I was able to strip all the code and make a MWE. There is a zip file attached.

one worksheet, which calls a maple_proc() function now in the same worksheet.

This function reads a plain text file in same folder, which contains list of integrals. The function maple_proc() does a "read" which reads all problems into a variable called lst

Now it simply does a LOOP over all entries in lst calling int() on each integral (one integral per line) with a timeout. You see there is catch() there.

I get the erorr

At iteration number 188 each time.

I will attach a ZIP file now, which contains one folder which contains the worksheet and the input plain textfile. All what you need to do to reproduce this is open the worksheet and evaluate the call there. You might want to edit the hardcoded folder in the worksheet to your own folder where you unzipped the zip file.

currentdirName :="C:/MAPLE_BUG";
currentdir(currentdirName);


I hope someone will be able to repoduce this. It looks like a real bug in Maple 2020.

The problem is not in the integral 188 itself. Because if the loop starts at say 100 or 120, instead from 1, the integral now is processed OK and no error is generated.
