I am not able to even trap this Maple exception.

Any suggestions what to do? It is not a problem if it can't solve it, but I need to at least be able to  trap the exception in order to go to the next one, else the whole program now stops when it hits this.

I used try..catch but this exception just ignores this and escapes to top level. This is not the first time I've seen Maple exception escape the try/catch. I do not understand why some do that and some not. I

Is this another bug?

Update 3 years later. FYI. This error still shows in Maple 2025. It will be nice if Maple returns no solution than an internal error that can not be trapped which means the whole program crashes.

Hello,

I don't understand. With 2 degrees of liberty and a factor of 5% (1-95%), the table Khi-2 indicates 5,99.

It is impossible for me to obtain this value with Mapple. 2 following tests :

Y := ChiSquareRandomVariable(2);
                            Y := _R0

PDF(Y, 0.05);
CDF(Y, 0.05);
                          0.4876549560

                       0.0246900878919645

PDF(Y, 0.95);
CDF(Y, 0.95);
                          0.3109425282

                       0.378114901350325

The same problème with the instruction RandomVariable(ChiSquare(v)).

Thank you to help me.

Kinds regards

It will be great if  DEtools:-convertAlg  which is designed to find coefficients of a linear ode, not to expand the coefficients it finds.

This caused my patterns to fail, as after putting the coefficients in a certain form, and then calling DEtools:-convertAlg later on somewhere else in the program, the patterns no longer worked due to this unexpected expansion.

It will be better if DEtools:-convertAlg returns the coefficients it find as is and not expand them. I could not find an option to use for this. Here is an example.

restart;
ode:=b*(x+x^2)*diff(y(x),x$2)+x*(2*a - 1)*diff(y(x),x)+c*y(x)=0;

After the call the coefficients become

L:=DEtools:-convertAlg(ode,y(x))

You might ask that one can easily "fix" this afterwords. Sure. I can use collect on x. But the point is that in general, it might not be clear what to collect on or what the changes that were made are.

In principle, it is better to keep the coefficients in same form as they were in the ode so that the ode do not change form.

What's going on in the following? Why can't I restore the default behavior of diff after using Physics:-diff or even just using with(Physics)? Is it because of Physics:-ModuleLoad()?

I don't know why the prettyprinted output of my worksheet is shown the way that it is above. I didn't do anything differently than I usually do to upload a worksheet. Anyway, the output is simple enough that I think that my Question is still clear.

I have an expression and I want to select the part of the expression which has diff(y(x),x) in the expression.

Using select(has,expr,diff(y(x),x) works, except when the expression happend to be exactly diff(y(x),x) in this case select returns diff()

I understand why this happens. But I can not avoid this problem by say first checking if the expression has more than one operand, because nops(diff(y(x),x) is 2 and not one. Also 1+diff(y(x),x) has two operands. And I can not check if the expression is of type `+` or `*` before, because other types can have more than one operand also.

So now what I do is the folliwng: first check if the expression has diff(y(x),x). If so, convert the expression to D and now check if nops is more than one, and if so, only now call select.

This is becuase nops(D(y)(x)) is one, while nops(diff(y(x),x) is two.

Is there a better way to do this, in order to avoid calling select and getting diff() ? I suppose I could also just check if the expression is exactly diff(y(x),x) before even calling select or has and avoid all this?

Why does my sequence return 0 at n=9 and n=10, when it should be 4?

Beneath the sequence i have also calculated the limit of f, as x approaches infinity, and it returns 4.

Below the initial screenshot, i have displayed a screenshot of the same plot but with a much bigger x-axis. It seems something weird happens at very large numbers of x. Is it a glitch, and if so how do i fix it?

here is the maple document containing the calculations below: maple_calculations.mw

I'd like to plot row[i] of M_jk (left axis) vs. row[i] of M_ki (right axis). i is the x axis, and varies discretely from 1 to 10 (number of runs). See attached screenshot below for details. My result is off in terms of values... How to fix my plot command?

Dear friends,

I found a file in the Maplesoft Application Center to evaluate the minimum of a function in two variables.

I tried to extend the code to find a minimum for a function in 4 variables.

But the code does not work. Any Help, I will be appreciated.

Given

expr:=c[2]*sin(sqrt(3)*x/2) + c[3]*cos(sqrt(3)*x/2);
expr:=convert(expr,tan);

How to change the second result above (with the tan) back the the original form it was in?

I tried all different convert and simplification commands, and non managed to get back the original form.

convert(expr,sincos);
simplify(expr,size);
#etc...

Hi!

I am doing some vector calculations with maple 2022, and I would like to gain a better understanding of how spherical derivatives of spherical vectors are calculated.  How can I ask maple to show the solution for this calculation?

Thanks in advance!

I have a whole lot of conditions to test on the signum of answers. This gets difficult to read so I am wondering could something like the following be done?

a, b, c, d := 1, -1, 1, -1;
if a, b, c, d = 1, 0, -1, -1 then
    print("foo");
end if;

The above obviously doesn't work. The reason I would like to do this is it would be simple to read the patterns of 1's and 0's.

Any ideas?

Here attached is my script. The execution of the worksheet gets stuck at the MatrixInverse(M) step. What do you suggest in order to speed up the computation?

As you can see, my matrix M is a 3x3 symmetric matrix, but quite convoluted. Eventually, I need to multiply the resulting inverse by another (row) vector.

Thank you for looking into this!

I do not remember is this was asked before.

In other OOP languages such as Java, it allows one to name object variable name same as method name. I found this example on the net for java to illustrate

class Test {

  private boolean isVal;

  public boolean isVal() {
      return isVal;
  }

}

In Maple, this is not allowed. So now I have to come up with new name for either the method or the variable that returns that hidden internal variable.

Here is an example

A:=module()
  option object;
  local is_valid::truefalse:=false;
  export is_valid::static:=proc(_self,$)::truefalse;
    return _self:-is_valid;
  end proc;
end module;

THis gives error

Error, (in A) exported variable `is_valid` cannot be multiply declared

It will be nice if Maple allows this. For now one has to rename either the variable or the method. Which is little annoying.

Is this something that could  be easily added to Maple in a future release?

I changed today my code to use DEtools:-odeadvisor(ode,y(x),[linear]); to check that the ode is linear or not before calling DEtools:-convertAlg 

The problem is that sometimes the advisor returns _linear on what is not linear ode (at least the way it is originally written). Here is an example

              (x+y(x))*diff(y(x),x) = 0;

From help page:

So now I am worried  that using odeadvisor to check for linear ode is not the right method.

Is there a build-in method in Maple to check if an ode is linear or not? (I do have my own code to do this, but I thought it is better to use a buildin method, as it will be more robust).

Should DEtools:-odeadvisor(ode,y(x),[linear]) have returned _linear in this case?
