Is it possible to print an asterisk in a superscript? For example, the plot

plot(x^2,x=-1..1,tickmarks=[[1/2=x^*],[1='a']]);

has  at the tickmark x=1/2, but I'd like it to be x^*. 

Thanks!

Is it possible for tickmarks to be different colors? For example, say I'm working with the plot

plot(x^2,x=-1..1,tickmarks=[[-1,-1/2,1/2,1],[]]);

Is there a way to make the tickmarks at x=-1/2,1/2 red while making the tickmarks at x=-1,1 blue?

Or, alternatively, is there a way to turn the tickmarks at x=-1/2,1/2 into red subticks and make the tickmarks at x=-1,1 blue?

Thanks!

I woud like to have some help in using Maple to solve some complicated integrals.Specificaly, I would like to take the help of maple in differentiating an integral w.r.t. a parameter.

First, I will start with an integral for which Maple gives a solution. Let me first start with the assumptions :

Hello,

I seem to be having trouble with the define_external command.

I want to call a C-library from maple, and I think I need to convert the maple data in C. So I need a custom wrapper.

But I can't get the simple example from here to work for me. Specifically, I tried this:

I am having trouble getting an algebraic solution for a first order four-ODE system. The problem seems trivial to me. However, Maple is taking a very long time to solve it. The system describes a reversible "chemical" reaction that have 4 states. Basically, the system is

C1<->C2<->C3<->O1

where the rate constants are ai towards the right and bi towards the left.

Any suggestion will do.

Thanks!

Hello all,

I have a question about converting a continuous piecewise function to Heaviside function, which the function includes trunc() in its conditions.

(I found differentiating piecewise function gives me "undefined" at boundary)

When I do that operation (convert(piecewisefunc, Heaviside)) I get the error below.

"Error, (in piecewise/simprootsstep) cannot determine if this expression is true or false: 0 < 183.3333333*Pi"

In the simplest case I could find of this...

How do I get Maple to simplify: sqrt(x.y)/x.y  to  1/sqrt(x.y)

?

If I remove any one of the 4 factores out of the equation above, it will just do it, but with the 4 together I just can not get it to give it to me in a "sensible" form.

Hello,

suppose I have a huge polynomial in several variables, say x, y and z, with some unknown coefficients:

(a*b+1)*x^3+(a+b+1)*x^2*y^2+(a-b^3)*x*y^2+a*y^10

Is there an efficient way to obtain all coefficients, when interpreting this as a polynomial in x and y?

(My goal is to make maple solve the equations in a and b  in order to let the polynomial be identically zero)

Many thanks!

Dear Maple users

I am looking for easy ways to manipulate lists. Especially I want to take a list of lists, say:

[[1,3], [5,8], [9,2], [5,12]]

and create a list of the second components:

[3,8,2,12]

Another problem: How do I collect every second element of a list, say:

[4,2,-1,9,5,6,2,0,14,7]

creating [2,9,6,0,7].

I can do it with loops, but I guess there is a smarter way to accomplish these tasks. I was looking...

Hello,

I have made a model in classic maple of a mechanical system. But, as this model is a a model of a kinematic closed system, it leads to DAEs equations. Consequently, i need to use specific tool to solve my DAEs.

I know that MapleSim can solve this kind of problem.

So is it possible to use numeric solver used in MapleSim in classic Maple to solve my DAE equations ?

How can i do to call this solver from classic Maple ?

Thank you for help.

here it is. sorry, at the top of the first sum, it's N1+N2 not N1+N1  :p    I tried many times, but can't succeed. the C is the combinasion, I also wrote it as

Hello,

I have used classic Maple for some years but it's the first time, i use MapleSim.

So, i wanted to simulate a model given in the tutorials : the 2DRigidSliderCrank.

I launch the simulation but i receive this error message: 

Do you know what is the matter with this code ?

What do i need to add to be able to simulate this model ?

Hello everyone!

I have a small problem with setting of name's variable by using for do loop!

Small description of the issue: i have a loop which looks in that way:

for k from 1 to 4 do

y'k':=Matrix[a,b];

end do;

Еventually i want to have, for instance, four matrices with different filling but ranged from 1 to 4:

y1:=...

y2:=...

...

Especially i want to see names of the variables in the abovementioned way i.e. y1 and not y[1]!
