I cannot remember that this was an issue in Maple 6/9/11, so it must have changed later on up to 22.

The following limit fails to execute

restart;
1/(r_S^5*(_C2*r_S^4 + _C2*r_S^3 + _C2*r_S^2 + f[3](0)*r_S + f[4](0)));
limit(%, f[4](0) = infinity);

It fails to calculate the limit with result as zero.

Thanks

Is there a way to force maple not to reuse integration constant names or constant names arising from solving a differential equation.

In other words, once maple  provided e.g. an integration constant, then it may not reuse it when I solve another differential equation or integral equation in the same worksheet.

It causes problems with certain problems containing several differential equations that need to be solved sequentially.

Why can the coeff operator return the coefficient of 1/b, namely -1/x in the example below correctly,

but cannot return the coefficient of 1/x , which should be -1/b?

dummy := asympt(x*1/(1 - a*x - b*x^2), x);
coeff(dummy, 1/x);
coeff(dummy, 1/b);

What one generally wants is to be able to return the coefficients of the orders of an asymptotic expansion, but coeff seems unable to do that as soon as you want the coefficients of 1/x^n

Maple help pages is silent about this.

Solving differential equations, Maple sometimes unfortunately returns the solution in an utterly  unusable form I never encountered a use for.

As an example a solution was found assuming separation of variables. Maple returns the following solution,

X(ts) = DESol({diff(_Y(ts), ts, ts) + (a^4*m^2*cos(ts)^4 etc. etc. etc.}, {_Y(ts)})

Is there a command where I can just get the argument of the solution, namely the differential equation diff(_Y(ts),ts,ts) + etc  ?  or even better as diff(X(ts),ts,ts) + etc   as I intended and expected it to be without the silly and unnecessary proxy variable _Y(ts) ?

It is such a pity that Maple return these results not as a differential equation in F2(ts), but gives the result in a proxy variable which isutterly unnecessary.

Anyway, if anyone knows a command just to get the argument of the solution above to get rid of all the unnecessary and proxy structure, I will appreciate it as I currently copy the solution and redefine it, which can introduce errors and destroys the generality of the document.

Is it possible to  convert an existing document in worksheet mode to document mode in Maple22 ?

It seems you can only select either at creation of document but not convert documents already existing.
