My eyesight is not what it used to be, so I would like to maginfy Maple's help window with a zoom factor of 150%.   I know how to do that by hitting Ctrl-F4.  My question is: Is it possible to save that setting somehow so that help is displayed at 150% by default?

Aside: The option Tools->Options->Interface->Default Zoom does not seem to do what I want.  For one thing, it sets the zoom factor of the main worksheet which I don't want to change.  For another thing, it affects the zoom factor of the help window in a rather mysterious way.  For instance, if I set Default Zoom to 400%, then the main window is indeed zoomed by 400% but the help window is zoomed by only 200%.

Platform: Maple 18 on Linux

If you define an array with entries from 1..10 and you want to plot these entries but with three different plots, e.g. entry 6 and 7, and again entry 10 shall be plotted separately: plot entries 1,2,3,4,5,8,9 in the same way, but entries 6,7 in a second and entry 10 in a third way. For example with different colors.

Is there a command for this?

How can we plot theta=pi/6 in polar coordinates by maple13?

The classical Draghilev’s method.  Example of solving the system of two transcendental equations. For a single the initial approximation are searched 9 approximate solutions of the system.
(4*(x1^2+x2-11))*x1+2*x1+2*x2^2-14+cos(x1)=0;
2*x1^2+2*x2-22+(4*(x1+x2^2-7))*x2-sin(x2)=0; 
x01 := -1.; x02 := 1.;

with(Tolerances):

a := `&+-`(2, .5);

b := `&+-`(30, 10);

evalf(a*b);

with(ScientificErrorAnalysis):

a1 := Quantity(2, .5);

b1 := Quantity(30, 10);

combine(a1*b1, errors);

Dear everyone, 

       I want to deal with experimental data with error. I find two ways to do the job. But  the results are different .Could you tell me which one is more correct?

      Thank you.

Hi there,

I would like to use Maple to solve a couple of integrals.

My attempt seems to have some errors, since even if the integral expressions are rendered correctly, they are  not being solved. They shouldn't need numeric methods to be solved.

The integrals are the following:
G1 := int(e^((lambda-k)*s-e^(-k*s)), s = -infinity..t);
G := int(e^(-(lambda+k)*t-e^(-k*t))*G1, t = -infinity..infinity);

Thus:

and

And attached is the unsuccessful attempt: MaplePrimes_Lea-Catcheside.mw

Hi there,
I have a set of differential equations whose solution, Jacobian matrix and its eigenvalues, direction field, phase portrait and nullclines, need to be computed.

Each of the equations has a varying parameter.

I know how to get the above for a single parameter value, but when I set a range of values for the parameters, Maple is not able to handle all cases as I would expect: solving the differential equation system:

eq1 := x*(1.6*(1-(1/100)*x)-phi*y)
eq2 := (x/(15+x)-0.3e-1*x-.4)*y+.6+theta
desys := [eq1, eq2];
vars := [x, y];
steadyStates := map2(eval, vars, [solve(desys)])

already yields an error:
Error, (in unknown) invalid input: Utilities:-SetEquations expects its 2nd argument, equations, to be of type set({boolean, algebraic, relation}), but received {-600*y+(Array(1..2, {(1) = 8400, (2) = 15900})), Array(1..5, {(1) = 0, (2) = 0, (3) = 0, (4) = 0, (5) = 0})}


The equations are the following:
de1 := diff(x(t), t) = x(t)*(1.6*(1-(1/100)*x(t))-phi*y(t));
de2 := diff(y(t), t) = (x(t)/(15+x(t))-0.3e-1*x(t)-.4)*y(t)+.6+theta

the parameters being:
phi:=[0 0.5 1 1.5 2]
theta:=[5. 10.]

How can I handle the situation so that Maple computes each of the above for each combination of the parameters?

I would like to avoid using two for loops and having to store all results in increasingly bigger and complicated arrays.

The worksheet at issue is this: MaplePrimes_Tumour_model_phi_theta_variation.mw

Hi there,
I am wondering how to print parentheses in the legend of an odeplot.

The following command

odeplot(numsolnf, [[t, CECnf(t)], [t, VECnf(t)], [t, CICnf(t)], [t, VICnf(t)]], 0..50, opts, legend = ['Extracelular urea concentration (mg/dL)', 'Extracelular urea volume (L)', 'Intracelular urea concentration (mg/dL)', 'Intracelular urea volume (L)'])

where numsolnf is the numerical solution of the equation system composed by CECnf(t), VECnf(t), CICnf(t), and
VICnf(t) produces no parentheses.

And the "Extracelular urea concentration (mg/dL)" and "Intracelular urea concentration (mg/dL)" are displayed as if the whole text was a quotient:

Extracelular urea concentration mg
dL

Any ideas about how to solve these issues?

Thanks,
jon

Hi there,

this may be a common task but did not find any helpful hint nor an answer: is there any way to combine to arrays A and B into another one element-wise, i.e.:
C = [[A[1],B[1]], [A[2],B[2]],...,[A[N],B[N]]]
without doing a for loop?

Thanks,
jon

Hye,

Have a good day Sir.

can u help me how to solve my problem using the Implicit Crank Nicolson Finite different Method. I have attached the problem and what I have done in Word file. I have to modify my Equations in order to get the graphs (that is wrong actually). Can you help how to get the graphs by not change the sign of my equations?:( 

Thank you in advance.

God Bless you.

1. if parametric equations are
x0 = a^4, x1=a^3*b, x2=a^2*b^2, x3=a*b^3, x4=b^4

how to find ideal below

e12 = x0*x2-x1^2
e13 = x0*x3-x1*x2
e14 = x0*x4-x1*x3
e23 = x1*x3-x2^2
e24 = x1*x4-x2*x3
e34 = x2*x4-x3^2

2.
if let y_i = x_i/x0 for i = 1..4
how to find above parametrically by below equations
y1 = b
y2 = b^2
y3 = b^3
y4 = b^4

Hi

My equations are:

diff(Th(z, t), t) = 7.1428*(diff(Th(z, t), z))-1397941.885*(279-Tw(z, t))-0.2160487e-1*(diff(Th(z, t), z, z))

diff(Tc(z, t), t) = -7.1428*(diff(Tc(z, t), z))+1298990.852*(Tw(z, t)-291)+0.189366e-1*(diff(Tc(z, t), z, z))

diff(Tw(z, t), t) = 3.3024901*(Th(z, t)-2*Tw(z, t)+Tc(z, t))+8.0029*10^(-4)*(diff(Tw(z, t), z, z))

and boundry conditions are:

Th(z, 0) = 296, (D[1](Th))(0, t) = 0, Th(1, t) = 296

Tc(z, 0) = 275, (D[1](Tc))(1, t) = 0, Tc(0, t) = 275

Tw(z, 0) = 0, (D[1](Tw))(1, t) = 0,Tw(0, t) = 0

I shoud solve this equations numerically and plot Th vs.t(and Th vs.z),

please help me.

thanks

Dear All,

I am solving ODE with BC .. then im having this error.. (Error, (in dsolve/numeric/bvp/convertsys) unable to convert to an explicit first-order system)

Anyone could help me please?? :)

the functions about vector field plot is so terrible,

is there any method to get it beautiful, like mathematica or matlab?

more options is needed for arrow's position, length, angle and color.

is there a plan for it?

And, the scalar field plot in 2d is better than vector field plot, but in 3d, isosurface plot are still need to be enhanced.

If possible, the plots in Plotting Guide are all need improve.
