I have a repetative set of parameter names used in procedures in a package. I settled on making all optional inputs in the format {name::type:=something}. Originally I wanted to use non capitalised names for the optional inputs. But the names clash with Maple commands. I have all sorts of quicky abbreviations like prnt etc. These are both messy and tacky. For many of my choices I would seem to have to use capitalised naming to give a meaningful name. The problem here is these names are used in other Maple packages. So sooner or later there is going to be a clash.

Is there a way a of handling this? Like can I defiine package parameter names? Or should I just stick with my abbreviations?

I read somewhere about this problem in the help years ago. I think Basis was the example used in different packages GroebinerBasis and Polynomial package and using PackageName:-Basis to avoid the clash with both loaded. But that is more a command level handling.

I need admin's help
I use evalf(3*21/100,3)=0.630
and evalf(3*89/100,3)=2.67
Is there a way for me to get 2 decimal places
so evalf(3*21/100,3)=0.63?

My apologies for such a basic question. But when I do: my_function:=int((t/τ)*exp(-t/τ),t=0..infinity), I get: lim_{t-->∞} (exp(-t/τ))*τ-(t*exp(-t/τ)) + τ, which with simplify I can get to: lim_{t-->∞} (-t + τ)*(exp(-t/τ))+τ

But why doesn't Maple automatically solve this limit to τ? What do I need to do more?

Thank you for your patient help! Mischa

I very welcome this new feature but here I am stuck

Was experimenting with methods to handle the representation of 3D lines and plotting them. Where I normally use a point and a direction vector to dascribe the line.

With a bit of experimenting I see the element wise operation `+`~  or  `-`~  using prefix notation saves a lot of time converting vector to lists and vice a versa.  Would be interested to know if there are better techniques.

On the plotting side using plot3d Can the colour of the lines be changed individually? Or should I use a different plotting command?

I see a number of MaplePrimes questions answered with good examples using prefix notation.  Is there good reference material somewhere that can show me how to make use of prefix notation when using Maple?  It's not always obvious (to me) how to construct maple commands using prefix operators so I typically just use the standard commands.  Understanding Maples prefix notation would help in understanding some of the answers given to questions in this forum.  Thanks.

Want to make a rectangular graph (in the sense of Graph Theory) of 4 copies of the path A-B-C-D i.e. four rows of this path. Once the rectangular or matrix like graph is made its ediges are to be weighted as the matrix position of vertex stating from (1,1) at the upper left vertex i.e. "A". Help please.

Hi everyone! :)

I'm new to Maple, so please forgive me if the solution is obvious, but I could not find any fitting articles for my problem.

I have a transfer function and need to find the poles. Later, I want to calculate the constants to meet my filter requirements. For now, I'm focusing on getting a symbolic solution and evaluating the poles.

Here's my setup:

Here is the File NoiseFilter.mw

When I use the "evalf" function, it gives me a large sum, but I would like to get one complex numerical result.

I appreciate any help! :)

I would expect I could do

A := DataSeries([2, 3, 4], datatype = float)
B := DataSeries([1, 3, 19], datatype = float)
min~(A, B)

but the last command gives me 

Error, (in DataSeries:-min) invalid boolean expression: 2.

How do I find the element-wise min (i.e. DataSeries([1,3,4], datatype=float)) of two DataSeries?

This code used to work OK in Maple 2023.2.1 on windows 10. Now it gives this new internal Maple error 

Error, (in property/ConvertRelation) numeric exception: division by zero

I think this is new problem in Maple 2024 as I have not seen it before. Will report it to Maplesoft. Mean while if someone has any workaround other than not using the `is` command will try it.

The following are two worksheets. One using 2023 shows it works OK (no error) and one in Maple 2024 with the new error

I was wondering if this is by design or not. Here is one example., This ode is solved by Maple 2023.2.1 on windows 10. The solution is in terms of DESol though. It takes less than one minute.

In Maple 2024 on same PC, dsolve hangs on it.

If this by design? Since DESol solution is not very useful actually. I was thinking that may be Maple is now trying to return a solution without DESol in it, and that is why it hangs or take long time. I stopped it after 5 minutes. 

Or should I report it to Maplesoft as possible bug?  

Below are 2 worksheets. One using Maple 2023 and one using 2024.

One may easily spot that the symbols “→” and “⇒” are missing here and here. 

These two PDF files were printed officially, so I think they can be considered examples of best practice for the export functionality. Does this mean that this functionality is still defective in the most recent release?
