If you want both arguments to be evaluated before being passed then how about just,

eval( 'CodeTools:-Test'(f(1), y) );

acer

You forgot to use := in your assignment to `a`. You used just an = sign by mistake, which just forms an equation and doesn't assign anything.

You may have intended,

a:=k-m*L;

acer

For this example you could set Normalizer:=simplify which appears to avoid so-called hidden zeroes while pivoting as well as keep the reduced row entries in check.

The default of Normalizer = normal is well-suited to entries all as rational polynomials. Using simplify is a big hammer, but figuring out the smallest hammer that will suffice is difficult in general.

The "alloc" means allocated by the kernel. In Maple 18 the kernel can actually free memory to the OS when doing garbage collection, so that number can now go both up and down. In recent versions the kernel will also free memory to the OS on `restart`, at which point this number reverts to the size of memory allocated at kernel launch and initialization.

The "used" figure is an indicator of how much memory has being processed by the garbage collection mechanism. It's similar to a running total of size of memory of objects (no longer referenced) and reclaimed for re-use by the kernel. Since the same bits of memory may be reclaimed and re-used over and over, that running total can be a number much higher than the total memory of the machine. Also, this value is not reset to zero upon `restart`.

I suppose that you know that you can turn these messages off in the CLI, using kernelopts(printbytes=false) .

S:= Array( 1..4, -6..3, 1..5 );

And use whatever ranges for the indices that you'd like.

In 2D Math input mode try typing it in with the keystrokes for & then \ and then ^ in order to escape the caret.

[edited] Oh, it seems there is a mention of this as an item lower down in the table for 2DMathShortcutKeys.

Are you looking for purely real solutions?

Unless I transcribed something wrong when changing 45.5 to exact 91/2 then I don't quite see how there can be any purely real solution to the system.

Could it be converted from set to logic notation? I wonder... how. (How best, I suppose. `subs` might suffice.)

restart:                                                                   

with(Logic):

Equivalent( (A &and &not B) &and (A &and &not C), A &and &not (B &or C ) );

                                     true

So, if that is acceptable, how could this be improved,

restart:                                                        
ee := (A minus B) intersect (A minus C) = A minus (B union C):  
ff := subsindets( subs( `union`=`&or`, `intersect`=`&and`, ee ),
                  specfunc(`minus`),                            
                  z->op(1,z) &and &not op(2,z) ):               
evalindets( ff, `=`, z->Logic:-Equivalent(op(z)) );             

                                     true

I have a hazy recollection that this sort of question might have been asked before on this site.

For Matrix M, you can do it with,

map( convert, M, exp);

acer

I don't really understand how you have (or have not) defined M[n+1], as expressions or operators, etc. But just using the expression you gave, here are some ideas for a multidimensional Array and plotting slices of it.

I used Maple 18, FWIW.

restart:

for n from 1 to 10 do
  R[n]:=n^2;
end do:

A:=Array( 1..10,1..10,1..5,1..2,
          (n,b,theta,m) -> (b*(theta^m)*R[n])/((theta^m)+R[n]^m)
          , datatype=float[8]  # only if it evaluates to floats
         ):

with(plots):

opts := transparency=0.3, style=surface:
all_fixed_m_plots := [ seq( surfdata(A[n,..,..,1], 1..10, 1..5,
                               labels=["b", "theta_m", "n"],
                               opts, color=COLOR(HUE,n/10)),
                      n=1..10 ) ]:

display( all_fixed_m_plots );
all_b_m_plots := [ seq( [ seq( surfdata( A[..,..,b,m],
                                         caption=sprintf("b=%a m=%a",b,m) ),
                               m=1..2 ) ], b=1..5 ) ]:

display(Array( all_b_m_plots ));

display(Array([
    surfdata(A[..,..,3,1]),
    surfdata(A[..,7,..,2]),
    surfdata(A[..,3,5,..])
              ]));
# The following are animations. Click on them and then use the menubar to play.
plots:-animate(plots:-surfdata,[ 'A[i,..,..,1]' ], i=[$1..10]);
plots:-animate(plots:-surfdata,[ 'A[..,..,i,1]' ], i=[$1..5]);

Use the plots:-display command to combine multiple plots.

This is a FAQ, and it is and example of what is sometimes called premature evaluation. Under Maple's normal evaluation rules the first argument to sum is evaluated up front, before it does it's computation.

So in your usage what sum sees as the first argument is just the result of Comm(j), which is 0 because the test j=0 does not return true. So your call just does sum( 0, j=0..0 ).

You can instead use delay quotes (unevaluation quotes) on the call Comm(j), or you can use add which has special evaluation rules, or you can use the Physics package to redefine sum as Edgardo has mentioned.

restart:

Comm := n -> `if`( n=0, 1, 0 ):

Comm(j);

                                       0

sum( Comm(j), j=0..0 );

                                       0

sum( 'Comm'(j), j=0..0 );

                                       1

add( Comm(j), j=0..0 );

                                       1

We'll have to take you on your word, that you really do want operators rather than just expressions, for the phi[j,k].

In that case you can do this using `unapply`.

N_x:=5;
    N_y:=4;
    N_elx:=N_x-1;
    N_ely:=N_y-1;
    h_x:=(x_e-x_s)/N_elx;
    h_y:=(y_e-y_s)/N_ely;
    x_n:=[seq(x_s+j*h_x,j=0..N_elx)];
    y_n:=[seq(y_s+j*h_y,j=0..N_ely)];

    # Partition of unity.
    for j from 2 by 1 to N_x-1 do
        for k from 2 by 1 to N_y-1 do
            phi[j,k]:=unapply( (x-x_n[j-1])*(x-x_n[j+1])
                               *(y-y_n[k-1])*(y-y_n[k+1])
                               /((x_n[j]-x_n[j-1])*(x_n[j]-x_n[j+1])
                                *(y_n[k]-y_n[k-1])*(y_n[k]-y_n[k+1])),
                               [x,y]);
        od;
    od;

On Maple 15, you might do something like this (using a reworking of Carl's Display).

restart;

    uses ColorTools;
    if not ( nops(color)=3 and andmap(t->t>=0 and t<=255,color) ) then
      error "expecting color option as a list of 3 integers between 0 and 255";
    end if;
    h := rgb2hex(color);
    res := Fact(N)[2];
    N=`+`(seq(`if`(rhs(e)=0, [][],

                   * `if`(rhs(e)=1, 1,
                          nprintf(`#mn("%ld")`,rhs(e)))
                   ), e = res ));
  end proc;
  Fact := proc(a::posint)
    local cst, obj, res;
    uses numtheory, Optimization;
    cst := add(x[i], i = 1 .. pi(prevprime(a))) <= 6;
    obj := add(x[i]*ithprime(i), i=1 .. pi(prevprime(a)))-a;
    res := LPSolve(obj, {cst ,obj>=0},
                   assume={nonnegative,integer});
  end proc;
  handler := proc(n::posint, s::string)
    nprintf(`#mn("%ld", mathcolor=%a)`,n,s);
  end proc;
  rgb2hex:=proc(rgb::list(integer))
    local h,i,r;
    h:="#";
    for i to 3 do
      h:=h,iquo(rgb[i],16,'r'),r;
    end do;
    cat(op(subs([0="0",1="1",2="2",3="3",4="4",5="5",6="6",7="7",8="8",
                 9="9",10="A",11="B",12="C",13="D",14="E",15="F"],[h])));

restart:

                          nprintf(`#mn("%ld")`,rhs(e)))
                  ), e = res ));
  end proc:
  handler := proc(n::posint, s::string)
    nprintf(`#mn("%ld", mathcolor=%a)`,n,s);
  end proc:
