Howdy,

I am trying to create a mathmatical model that shows a predator-prey relationship along with seasonal variations (hibernation). I made two piecewise functions where one is "on" during the winter and the other is "off" during the winter and the model worked well for one unit of time. 

My problem is that I would like the piecewise functions to apply over an arbitrary amount of time units periods without having to set the range within the function itself for 100 units of time. I was thinking that a for loop would work but i'm not sure how I would impliment that.

Thanks in advance!!

Edit: 

Here's a little bit more info on the problem.

I have three O.D.E's in an array..

ode := {r'(t),h'(t),c'(t)}

which are dependent on a list of parameters..

constants := {a,b,...,s,w,c0,h0,r0};

where s and w are my piecewise functions.

I am able to solve the three odes using dsolve for one period of s and w.

Again, I'm really not sure where to start to make my model periodic.

I'm running calculations like this:

    N:=10000;
    f := (i,j)-> (some complicated procedure depending on i and j);
    M:= Matrix([Threads:-Seq([Threads:-Seq( f(i,j), j=1..N)], i=1..N)]);

I have a server with 20 cores, but each core has two threads, so this code should max out all 40 threads. But what I notice is only at most 20 threads being used at a time. 

I checked kernelopts(numcpus) returns 20. 

Does anyone have any advice on how to maximize my resource usage?

Hi All,

Where can I download Fourier Series Package? I found other posts related to this but the link is not working.

Thanks.

I have the following sequence: n²/n²+31n+228.The question asks me to use an appropriate conditional statement to find N such that absolute (x_n-x₀)<epsilon for every n>=N. I found N but i don't know how to find it using Maple17.Can you please help me?

Is it possible to work with complex numbers in Maple T.A?

How could you for instance make a question where two complex numbers in polar form should be added. For instance (10<30deg)+(15<-10deg). I'm thinking of letting answers be in two fields, one for the absolute value and one for the angle but I would like to use random numbers in the two complex numbers to be added and would prefer to be able to use complex math in calculating the right answer.

Hi all!

as shown below, how can get a result without 'R':

p_com(z,t):=Re(exp(I*omega*t-I*k*(lambda[r]+I*lambda[i])*z)) assuming omega::real,t::real,k::real,lambda[r]::real,lambda[i]::real,z::real

Thanks very much!

I wrote the following procedure that evaluates i-th B-spline basis function of degree n over the knot vector T:

N := proc(i, n, t, T)

if (n = 0) then
    if ((t >= T[i]) and (t < T[i+1])) then
        return 1.0:
    else
        return 0.0:
    fi:
fi:

return (evalf((t-T[i])/(T[i+n]-T[i]))*N(i, n-1, t, T) + evalf((T[i+n+1]-t)/(T[i+n+1]-T[i+1]))*N(i+1, n-1, t, T)):

end proc:

Now, I want to compute

int(N(i, n, t, T)*N(j, n, t, T), t=0..1, numeric),

where i, n and T are given. However, Maple evaluates N and, since t is unknown, I get the following error:

"Error, (in N) cannot determine if this expression is true or false: .1 <= t and t < .25"

In http://www.maplesoft.com/support/help/Maple/view.aspx?path=evalf/Int  I read that in order to integrate a procedure, one should write (see the example given there)

evalf(Int(N*N, 0..1));

however, in my case, It will not work because I must pass the known parameters i, n and T. Is there a way to solve my problem?

Hi Guys, 

I'm trying to find stationary points of a numeric function. Any help would be appreciated. 

Assume I have a numeric function g(x). I'm attempting the following:

deriv:=(x)->fdiff(g(t),t=x); (I can't use the D operator as it doesn't like g(x))

Now deriv(x) <- Can be computed and computes the value quickly and easily. However plot and other functions require algebraic functions. I can plot this (with difficulty) via the following

plot(deriv,-10..10) <- This avoids converting to algebraic function and runs as a procedure. 

I can't use convert(deriv,algebraic) as it fails. 

I want to use the Student[NumericalAnalysis]Roots command, but it requires an algebraic function and I can't use the procedure trick which I did in the plot command. 

Does anyone know a better way of doing this? or is there a way I can write the numerical differivative as an algebraic function. (I've tried fsolve <- But this guy doesn't give me the correct answers generally). 

Thanks guys. 

Hey,

I want to assign a value to a symbol stored in a vector. I know the position of the symbol in the vector. Is there an easy way to do this?

Hello,

Still on the thematic on simplification of trigonometric expression.

I would like to simplify this equation. Normally, for a mecanical point of view, this equation could be simplified a lot and namely the psi[1](t) and theta[1](t) variables should disappear.

The difference with the former posts is the fact that now each term (for example  2*sin(gamma0(t))*z0(t)*cos(beta0(t))*xb[1]) can regroup 2 terms in factor with the trigonometric part.

eq:=l2[1]^2 = 2*sin(gamma0(t))*z0(t)*cos(beta0(t))*xb[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*zp[1](t)*cos(beta0(t))*xb[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*zb[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*zb[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*zb[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*zb[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*z0(t)*cos(beta0(t))*zb[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*zp[1](t)*cos(beta0(t))*zb[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*xb[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*xb[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*xb[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*xb[1]+2*y0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*cos(beta0(t))*yb[1]-2*yp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*cos(beta0(t))*yb[1]-2*x0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*cos(beta0(t))*yb[1]+2*xp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*cos(beta0(t))*yb[1]-2*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]*xb[1]+2*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]*zb[1]-2*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]*zb[1]-2*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]*xb[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*z0(t)*cos(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*z0(t)*cos(beta0(t))*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*zp[1](t)*cos(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*zp[1](t)*cos(beta0(t))*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+yb[1]^2+xb[1]^2+zb[1]^2+l3[1]^2+z0(t)^2+zp[1](t)^2+y0(t)^2+yp[1](t)^2+x0(t)^2+xp[1](t)^2+2*z0(t)*sin(beta0(t))*yb[1]-2*zp[1](t)*sin(beta0(t))*yb[1]-2*z0(t)*zp[1](t)-2*y0(t)*yp[1](t)-2*x0(t)*xp[1](t)-2*sin(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*xb[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*xb[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*xb[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*xb[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*zb[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*zb[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*zb[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*zb[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*z0(t)*cos(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*z0(t)*cos(beta0(t))*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*zp[1](t)*cos(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*zp[1](t)*cos(beta0(t))*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*sin(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*cos(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*sin(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*cos(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*y0(t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*yp[1](t)*cos(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*x0(t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]+2*cos(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*sin(psi[1](t))*sin(theta[1](t))*l3[1]-2*cos(gamma0(t))*xp[1](t)*sin(alpha0(t))*sin(beta0(t))*cos(theta[1](t))*cos(psi[1](t))*l3[1]

Do you have some ideas so as to simplify this equation ?

Hi. I'm hacing trouble writing a maple procedure for the question below, can anyone help?

Write a maple procedure which takes as its input the vectoeat u1 and u2 and the eigenvectors lambda1 and lambda2 where u1,u2 are element of R^2 and the lambdas are real numbers.

If u1,U2 is linearly independent then the output is the matrix A an element of R^2x2 with the property that Au1= lambda1u1 and AU2=lambda2u2;

if u1,u2 is linearly dependent then the output is the statement "not an eigenbasis".

I I then have two inputs which I have to do but I'm not sure on how to write the procedure. Any help will be much appreciated.  

Thanks :)

Hi dear Maple masters:

Excuse-me. I have a stupid question to ask: how to extract symbolic coefficient in maple? For example, I would like to get the coefficient before sin(Ωt) and cos(Ωt) in the following equation:

eq := (-Omega^2*a*A[2]-Omega^2*m*B[1]+Omega*A[1]*c[1]+B[1]*k[1])*cos(Omega*t)+(Omega^2*a*B[2]-Omega^2*m*A[1]-Omega*B[1]*c[1]+A[1]*k[1])*sin(Omega*t) = 0;

Thank you in adavance for taking a look, wish you a nice day!

Best regards,

Zihan

Hi dear friends. Recently, I am troubled by a question of how to draw an exictation-response diagram in Maplesoft.

I would like to draw an excitation-response diagram with following equation, Ω is greatrer or equal to 0:

(0.1299e-4*(17.1740*Omega^2-1.570200000*10^6))*Omega^2/(-196.1270800*Omega^4+3.954121290*10^7*Omega^2-1.877174100*10^12);

But, when I would like to use Bode diagram in Maple to draw it, it looks very differently.

Maybe I use a wrong function to draw it.

In the book, the diagram takes the form:

Thanks a lot for taking a look.
