How do we specify the length of the string in external calling if we don't know the length beforehand?

In a local directory I have a number of worksheets that uses the same procedures, so I want to collect these procedures in a package, where the file with the package should be stored locally, since it is only relevant locally.

Is that possible, and how can it be done ?

Hi,

I have to find the root of an equation corresponding to the maximum absolute value. I am using root finding package to get all the roots. But after getting all the roots i am not able to apply abs function. Maple sheet is attached.

I will be really thankful for the help.

I'm running into a very simple problem with the way that Maple integrates Heaviside functions. Naively, it should act like a step function, but it is not integrating properly. See the attached document.

Note that the symbolic integration of the Heaviside function (defined to be 1 inside the unit circle and 0 outside) gives zero, whereas it should clearly give the area of the unit circle, which the numerical integration does. I even checked that the (suposedly equivalent) piecewise definition symbolically evaluates to the area, and it, too, gets the right answer.

Anyone have any clue as to why the symbolic integration of this Heaviside function is so wrong? My understanding is that if we do the integral as two nested 1D integrals, the returned function (as a function of y) is zero everywhere except at y=0, but that result cannot be right either.

Thoughts?

I am trying to find the optimal routing probabilities in a Maple procedure where the Mean Value Analysis is used to compute the queueing values. The Maple code is below. It first tries to compute the visit ratios where the probability routing values are the decision variables. There is one specified constraint on the sum of the probability decision variables.

I am not sure why I get the error message

I was trying to call a C shared library which calls a Python function. I got the following error:

Error, external linking: error loading external library

/directory/of/my/library/libbe.so: libpython2.7.so.1.0: cannot open shared object

file: No such file or directory

Since I was running this using a pbs file, I made sure that I exported LD_LIBRARY_PATH (to libpython.so) inside the specific node. Does anyone have ideas on why this happens? Thank you!

Hello people in mapleprimes,

I have a question. I hope someone give an answer to me.

rho:=sqrt((x-a)^2+(y-b)^2);

limit(x-a+y-2,rho=0);

brings an error

Error, invalid input: limit expects its 2nd argument, p, to be of type Or(name = algebraic, set(name = algebraic)), but received ((x-a)^2+(y-b)^2)^(1/2) = 0

Isn't other way than the following?

limit(x-a+y-2,{x=a,y=b});

Best wishes.

I am working in Document mode, 2D input.  I have doing some complex number evalutions

Lets say I have a complex number Z= 2+3i

when I ask maple for the "abs(Z)" I get the display of "abs(2+3i)" rather than the numberic answer. This occurs with all the complex operation arg, abs, polar conversion, 

polar(abs(2+3*i), argument(2+3*i))   this is from Maple. 

How do I display the numeric value for these functions in my document

Thanks Bill

Hello,

I've got a load of data that contains a lot of noise in the form of sinusoidal interference patterns. This is quite thick and it disturbes what I am trying to look at. I've uploaded a picture to represent what I am trying to show. I know I need a cut-off frequency I just don't know how to implement it. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,
In maple18 has:

with(Student[Basics][ExpandSteps])

but how to see step-by-step factor ??

(Sorry! I'm not very good at English.)

Thank you!

Dear Community,

I've made a nonlinear curve fit with the Minimize routine (see attachment). What would be an easy and elegant way to rerun the model (Model) with the fitted values of a, b, c and plot the result together with the measured points in the same chart? I'm stuck here.

Tx in advance,

best regards

Hey there,

I am using the fsolve command in order to solve numerically a system of equations with N equations and N unknowns. According to my discretization the number of equations changes. If I have a small number of equations it all works out perfectly. But if I increase the number of equations I just get something like that:

Sorry, for the long post, but for a small number of unknowns Ai it works. It seems that maple doesnt try to compute? Has anyone encountered the same problems?

Any help is appreciated.

Jens

Greetings to all. The title describes it well, I am writing about testing the limits of the Maple integration engine. A recent discussion at math.stackexchange.com features a family of integrals that involve the product of a power of the natural logarithm and a rational function, more precisely,

int((log(x))^n/(x^3+1), x=0..infinity);

These integrals can be evaluated recursively as described at the MSE link using a technique that generalizes to other types of rational factors. Unfortunately Maple apparently only finds a simple closed form for a few small initial values of n. The following transcript of a Maple session illustrates the problem. Mathematica was successful here. Also observe the memory allocation in the Maple session.

My question for you all is what the appropriate techniques would be to get Maple to at least simplify the rather involved output from the integration engine to obtain a match of the closed form from the recursive equation.

Best regards, Marko Riedel.

Below z is made using different complex values on polar form, and I then need to express the resulting z on polar form with numeric values for length and angle.  However, I had no luck using evalc, evalf, or other I could find.

How can I convert z to a polar form with numeric arguments like shown below ?

Hi everybody,

I would like to define a function with random values to be used in pdsolve (numeric) as a initial condition.

Any help?

Thanks,

Javier
