Hello,

I am having problems with Maple. I am new to the software and I am looking to use it for tensors. I am working with the Alcubierre metric, for more details, click the images below.

These images should provide more clarity with the metric. My problem is that in Maple, I have successfully entered the metric, however whenever I use for example the Christoffel command, it states that all the Christoffel symbols are equal to zero.

I believe the reason why this is happening is because I have not defined the functions properly. I should be getting an answer like the example in the last picture below.

Would anyone be able to assist me in this? I would appreciate it greatly.

Many thanks.

Hi,

While computing a simple sequence of numbers, I remarked a small difference between the result obtained with $ and with seq.

Digits:=20:
u:=proc(n) evalf(((n+1)/n)^(n+1)) end proc:
a:=[u(n)$n=1..10]:
b:=[seq(u(n),n=1..10)]:
a-b;

The result is:

[0., 0., -4.*10^(-19), 0., 0., 6.*10^(-19), -9.*10^(-19), 0., -3.*10^(-19), 0.]

I have no idea why there are nonzero values in the output. Does anyone have an explanation?

It seems I get the correct values if I quote the expression before $:

a:=['u(n)'$n=1..10]:

However, it's not clear to me why this makes a difference in evalf.

After setting:

Digits:=20;

result of:

evalhf(9.3653976306373904636884810627704*10^(-315));

is:

-9.0813464423699167205*10^(-315)

This looks nonsesnse. What is going on?

Why 

evalf(evalf(''Pi''))

Produces 

But

evalf(''Pi''):
evalf(%)

Produces

      3.141592654

Could some Maple expert please explain this strange behavior of int? Using Maple 2020 on windows 10

Same integrand. But in one case exp(arcsin(x)) and in another exp(1)^arcsin(x). Why one worked and not the other?

Here is the code

restart;
integrand1 := (x^3*exp(arcsin(x)))/sqrt(1 - x^2);
integrand2 := (x^3*exp(1)^arcsin(x))/sqrt(1 - x^2);
simplify(integrand1-integrand2);
int(integrand1,x);
int(integrand2,x)

Hi - High school teacher 

I'm using the with(Physics): Setup(mathematicalnotation=true):with(Physics[Vector]): libraries which gives elegant answers to some of the questions of elementary vector algebra. 

But I become stuck when I try to simplify a simple expression like

Equa[01]:=AC_ = AB_ + BC_:Equa[01];                            #AC_ = AB_ + BC_
Equa[02]:={AB_=2*DB_,BC_=2*BE_}:Equa[02];
Equa[03]:=subs(Equa[02],Equa[01]):Equa[03];                #AC_ = 2*DB_ + 2*BE_
simplify(Equa[03]);                                                              #also try combine

which gives

AC_ = 2*DB_ + 2*BE_

rather than what I was hoping for

AC_ = 2*DE_

I have define a type and build a clumsy addition procedure - with no hope of overloading '+'

But I am sure that their exist a better solution - which if possible should remain within the Physics[Vector] library. It is hard enough to convince high school student to use maple. Maybe adding rule in the setep... I just don't have the required time to look around.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank

Jean-Marc Roy

Note:

Hi, I am trying to add some useful inverse Laplace transforms to Maple's integral tables. I am frustrated that these transforms will only be recognized  if they are entered in exactly the same format. For example, if I type:

restart;

with(inttrans):

addtable(invlaplace, 1/(s^y*sqrt(a + s^x)), Sum(a^n*sqrt(Pi)*t^(-1 + (1/2 + n)*x + y)/(GAMMA(1/2 - n)*GAMMA(1 + n)*GAMMA(1/2*x + n*x + y)), n = 0 .. infinity), s, t, {a, x, y}, y::Range(-infinity, infinity), x::Range(-infinity, infinity), a::Range(-infinity, infinity));

savetable(invlaplace, `InvlaplaceTable.m`):

Then:

restart;

with(inttrans):

read `InvlaplaceTable.m`:

invlaplace(1/(s^y*sqrt(a + s^x)), s, t);#Ok works for general

invlaplace(1/(s^3*sqrt(a + s^x)), s, t);# Dosen't WORK ?# For y = 3.

invlaplace(1/(s^3*sqrt(s^3 + a)), s, t);# Dosen't WORK ?# For y = 3. and x = 3

value(eval(invlaplace(1/(s^y*sqrt(a + s^x)), s, t), [y = 3, x = 3]))#Workaround !!!

Thanks.

Does anyone here have experience with exporting Maple worksheets to LaTeX?  According to help page

?Export as latex

"You can change the Mathematics Formatting Width to align multi-line displayed formulas by modifying the option in the Export tab of the Options dialog."

That setting, however, seems to have no effect.  The image below shows the result, after setting the line width to (the extremely narrow!) 2 inches.  Long lines still overflow the left and right margins of the paper, rendering the result useless.

I see that this was pointed out in 2016 but there appears to have been no improvements since.  Does anyone know a workaround?  I am running Maple 2020 on Linux, if that matters.

This zip file z.zip contains a Maple worksheet, the exported *.tex file, and the compiled PDF.  Here is what that PDF looks like.

This Anti-derivative of  arccos(x)*arcsin(x), Maple  2020 cannot do that? It seems not difficult.

In Mathematica, we can easily to get output :

When pressing !!! (Execute entire worksheet) it seems to me that startup code is executed.

Is that correct, and if - why is that so?

Today I Installed  Physics Updates" version "642 in Maple2020, why does it tell me  it has installed but is not active? How to active it?

`The "Physics Updates" version "642" is installed but is not active. The active version of Physics is within the library D:\\Program Files\\Maple 2020\\lib\\maple.mla, created 2020, March 5, 9:36 hours`

Hello,

is it possible to solve the attached partial differential equation with zero initial boundary condition?

If not by assuming diff(u(sigma, tau, phi, t), t, t)=0 is there an answer for the equation?

Thanks

Hello I am trying to compute the following expression;

(x^2r+y^2+z^2) gamma^{0} partial_{x} (-xy(1-r)) gamma^{2} partial_{y} \Psi

in which r = sqrt(1-K(x^2+y^2+z^2)), K is a constant, the gamma's are the Dirac gamma matrices and \Psi is the wave function. Essentially I would like to have partial_{x} operate on the expression to the right of it and apply product rule where there will be three terms with the last one being partia_{x} partial_{y} \Psi where it evaluates on everything expect the partial and the wavefunction, combining into the term partial_{x} partial_{y} \Psi, and if the partials are the same they combine into a single second order derivative with respect to the given variable. I have done this calculation by hand but seeing that there is an extensive amount of terms I would like to automate it using Maple. I have tried using the D() calling sequence but it doesn't quite give me what I am looking for. Is there anything documentation which will give me what I am looking for?

Hello everyone. I want to know how I can extract terms with the lowest sum of the degree of x and of y in a multivariate polynomial (in x and y)?

For instance, if I've f(x) = 100x^2y^2 + 35x^2y + 45y, I want an output of 45y.

On the other hand, if I've g(x) = 13x^2y^2 + xy^2 + 2yx^2, I want an output of xy^2 + yx^2.

Hello,friends!

I try to calculate the limit of the function, 

sin(x*sin(1/x))/(x*sin(1/x))  at point x=0,maple gives answer:1

However,actually it does not have a limit at x=0,because for the limit to exist at a point,there needs to exist a neighbourhood at the point so that all x in the neighbour have definition.

It means f(x) should have have definition at point x=0's negihbourhood,however small the neighbourhood is.If I choose x=1/(n*Pi), n belongs to integers,the function doesn't have definition.As n increase,there doesn't exist such a neighbourhood.So is it something maple should correct?
