I am trying to use "solve" to solve a set of 2 equations defined by using summation function "sum". But I got an error saying "Error, (in sum) summation variable previously assigned, second argument evaluates to 3 = 1 .. 2". 

The Maple code is listed here

restart;
N := 2:
var:= seq(alpha[n], n = 1 .. N):
v(x):=sum(alpha[n]*phi[n](x), n = 1 .. N):
R(x):=diff(v(x), x $ 4) - p/EI:
eqs := seq('int'('R(x)'*phi[n](x), x = 0 .. L) = 0, n = 1 .. N):
for n to N do
    phi[n](x):= sin((2*n - 1)*Pi*x/L):
end do:       
solve({eqs}, {var});
Error, (in sum) summation variable previously assigned, second argument evaluates to 3 = 1 .. 2

I have the following example.

> A:= Vector(3,symbol=v)

A:= 

>v[1]:= 5

v[1]:=5

> A

Is there any way such that v[1] is actually referring to the first element in the vector? In other words, changing v[1] actually modifies the vector A.

If the question does not make sense, then here is the actual scenario that I faced.

I need to solve a system of equations in the form of 

where a[i], c[i] refers to the entries in the vector.

solve returns the following:

I then did an assign(%). However, the entries in A and C are not changed. I want the answer returned by solve to be properly applied to the entries of the vectors.

However, I wish my b(x) to be x^2 + x + 1. How could I do it?

 I have the following code snippet.

It is surprising to me that using a package actually changes the behaviour of functions not in the package!

Is this a bug or a feature that I am not aware of?

I have just started using the GR functions available in Maple and have struggled to implement locally flat coordinates whilst using an arbitrary metric. I would like Maple to know that the first partial of g_ is 0 but that the second may not be. This knowledge would help simplify down some of the bulky expressions for the Riemann tensor in terms of g_. Any suggestions would be great as I have very little background knowledge with the submodule.

Thanks!

Why do I get 2 wrong answers here?

I see that they are all false but the last answer is close enough for my purposes

The spectral radius  is maximum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of the matrix A.  We can use the function SpectralRadius in Student package. But we noticed a sentence in the help document:

The output from this procedure will be as symbolic as computationally feasible. If the exact spectral radius of A is too time-consuming to compute, it may be computed numerically.

This means that SpectralRadius will evaluate the exact value when it can. Anyway, the internal evaluation process will take time. So for the sake of efficiency, we just want the numerical results of the spectral radius of a matrix. 

I tried to write the following function, but I feel that it is not very efficient, especially for solving characteristic polynomials and their roots.  I even feel that there is a way to find the spectral radius without taking the absolute value of all the eigenvalues and ordering them. 

Spectralradius := proc(A::Matrix)
 local Spectrum;
 Spectrum := sort(abs~([fsolve(LinearAlgebra:-
 CharacteristicPolynomial(A,x)=0,x )]),`>`);
 Spectrum[1]
end proc:

One example: In general, the matrices I encounter come from adjacency matrices of graphs, which are always real symmetric. So their eigenvalues are always real. But the Eigenvalues command very slow because it's always trying to get the exact value. So If we use Eigenvalues  to find all the eigenvalues and then sort them, it will be very slow.  Thus  I'm thinking about finding the numerical results.

Maybe I need a way to find all the numerical eigenvalues of a real symmetric matrix not using  CharacteristicPolynomial or Eigenvalues.

The created document essentially has no left border (margin). This has been a problem over at least the last three versions in Maple. I end up having to use an extra PDF cropping tool to reset the margins on the document.

What is the solution to this problem?

I would be very grateful for any help!

So all I'm trying to do is a simple sequence like seq(i^2, i=1..10, 1) but with units.  The seq function is part of the Units:-Standard and Units:-Simple packages.  I couldn't find any examples with units in the help system.  For my first attempt, I tried to create a simple sequence of values with units using what is, to me, a logical syntax.  I have included the Maple input below.  I bolded the input.

with(Units:-Standard);
[*, +, -, /, <, <=, <>, =, Im, Re, ^, abs, add, arccos, arccosh, arccot, arccoth, arccsc, arccsch, arcsec, arcsech, arcsin, 

  arcsinh, arctan, arctanh, argument, ceil, collect, combine, conjugate, cos, cosh, cot, coth, csc, csch, csgn, diff, eval, 

  evalc, evalr, exp, expand, factor, floor, frac, int, ln, log,  log10, log2, max, min, mul, normal, polar, root, round, sec, 

  sech, seq, shake, signum, simplify, sin, sinh, sqrt, surd, tan,   tanh, trunc, type, verify]

seq(ii, ii = 1.0*Unit('m') .. 10.0*Unit('m'), 1.0*Unit('m'));

Error, (in Units:-Standard:-seq) wrong number (or type) of parameters in function seq

Can anyone show me the correct syntax for this?  Is there something in the help?  I tried it in 2021 and 2022 with the same result.
 

I am using Maple 2021.2 on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS. Sometimes the Maple after start does not show Sig in part of top Maple desktop panel. So I need to restart Maple and 2nd or 3rd start is mostly OK. After that is the situation for some time good.

See attached snapshot... Any idea what is wrong?

I set infolevel[dsolve]:=2; and first time I use it, it gives very long output. Next time I use it on same ode with same command it gives much shorter output.

Why is that and how to make it give the shorter output from first call?  This is very strange behavior.  One would expect the same output each time. The worksheet attached shows that first time it is used, the output is very long. At the end of the worksheet the call is made again with same infolevel, and now output is much smaller.

(getting error uploading worksheet. Will try again. Unable to do insert content keep getting error from this site. So I am just attaching it as link. May be due to large size of the worksheet)

The IsSubgraphIsomorphic command accepts either two undirected graphs or two directed graphs as input.  It returns true if G1 is isomorphic to some subgraph of G2. The GraphTheory [IsSubgraphIsomorphic] command was introduced in Maple 2021.

If a graph T is isomorphic to some subgraph T' of  a graph G, IsSubgraphIsomorphic(T,G)  will  return true. But there is no option to return T'. That makes it hard to check manually.

I've seen  IsSubgraphIsomorphic behaving strangely lately. I want to check whether K₈-P₆ contains K₇-K₃ as its subgraph.

T:=DeleteEdge(CompleteGraph(7),{{1,2},{2,3},{3,1}},inplace= false): 
G:=DeleteEdge(CompleteGraph(8),{{1,2},{2,3},{3,4},{4,5},{5,6}},inplace= false): 
IsSubgraphIsomorphic(T,G)

true

I think theoretically, the result of IsSubgraphIsomorphic is not correct. I also tested it from Mathematica, and it worked as I expected.

h = EdgeDelete[ CompleteGraph[7], {1 <-> 2, 2 <-> 3, 3 <-> 1}]; 
g = EdgeDelete[ CompleteGraph[8], {1 <-> 2, 2 <-> 3, 3 <-> 4, 4 <-> 5, 5 <-> 6}]; 
IsomorphicSubgraphQ[h, g]

False

I wonder what went wrong.

PS: Subgraph isomorphism is a question I've asked before, and we can refer to the following links and code. https://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/226937-How-To--Test--A--Graph--Whether-Contains

with(GraphTheory):
with(combinat):
T:=DeleteEdge(CompleteGraph(7),{{1,2},{2,3},{3,1}},inplace= false): 
G:=DeleteEdge(CompleteGraph(8),{{1,2},{2,3},{3,4},{4,5},{5,6}},inplace=false): 
nE,nV := NumberOfEdges(T), NumberOfVertices(T):
# Produce all subgraphs of G which have the same number of edges and vertices as the "test" sub-graph T
U:=choose(Edges(G),nE): nops(%):
U1:=select(t -> (nops(`union`(t[]))=nV), U): nops(%):
gL:= Graph~(U1): nops(%):
ans:= [ seq
          ( `if`
            ( IsIsomorphic( T, gL[j] ),
              j,
              NULL
            ),
            j=1..numelems(gL)
          )
        ]:
if   numelems(ans)>0
then HighlightSubgraph( G, gL[ans[1]], edgestylesheet=[thickness=4, color="Red"]);
     DrawGraph(G, style=spring);
fi;

These codes are due to tomleslie  and  vv. According to above codes, it seems that there is something wrong with IsSubgraphIsomorphic too.
