I am trying to solve a trascendental equation of the type sin(x)=x, does anybody got an Maple algorithm or have a clue of what metodology can be adopted to solve it. My question goes in two directions: 1) the mathematical way of solving an equation like that 2) the way of implementing the resolution in Maple. For the first topic I knowm this is not the appropriate forum, however since there are a lot of mathematicians particiating I have supposed that someone could help me out, or indicate another forum to post this question. Thank you for your help RV

Is there a way to perform maintenance on Maple 10?

Maple 10 comes in both a 32bit and 64bit version for Linux. It's possible to run both versions, installed to the same base location, on a machine with the appropriate operating system runtime configuration. There are some interesting performance differences between the two versions.

I'll say a few words about the installation. I installed both under /usr/local/maple10 on an Athlon64 3200+ running the x86-64 version of the Fedora Core 2 operating system. I have the 32bit...

I'm curious. How do people write large-scale programming projects in Maple? I'm interested in both the interface they use for said writing, plus the style. For example, I would like to have an editor that does syntax highlighting, indents, and balances brackets for me. Is there such a thing? Second, what is the preferred style to do these things? I used to do it by having a huge file where several procedures were defined in it. I would load this file with read(). How about OOP abilities in Maple? Mathematicians think OOPly. I think you can declare new datatypes (remind me how), but is there a good way to go as far and declare objects?

The control(menus, buttons, ..etc) font of maple is ugly on linux jdk 1.4.x. So I tried to run maple on jdk 5.0 with swing.aatext=true option. I have installed crimson xml parser at {maple installation dir}/java directory. And I tried to start maple. But maple didn't start with next exception. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: No such child: 0 at java.awt.Container.getComponent(Container.java:280) at com.maplesoft.mathdoc.components.dockingtools.WmiBorderSplitPane$DockContainer.(Unknown Source) at com.maplesoft.mathdoc.components.dockingtools.WmiBorderSplitPane.addAtLocation(Unknown Source)

Hi everybody, I'm new to this site, I did a search and looked through the topics but did not find anything regarding a problem I'm having with Maple 10.02 : EDIT BELOW: Problem now solved! While running a "for" loop containing some very very large equations the evaluation would stop and a window would say "Connection to kernel was lost." I finally determined that the mserver.exe process had quit, causing this message. I have configured my firewall to permit all communications that maple and mserver want to do. The worksheet is a translation from an older version (Maple V R4 ...), the worksheet and the loop ran fine in Maple VR4, but I get the above mentioned problem when running the worksheet in Maple 10. I've translated the code into the updated language, but I still get the error. The loop in question is:

Does anyone know why an "inline" Maple 10 plot exported as an eps figure (by right-clicking on the figure) is not compatible with the psfrag.sty package for LaTex? Oddly, writing the plot "directly" to an eps with the following commands does produce an eps figure that is compatible with psfrag.sty, i.e., the axes labels can be replaced with LaTex math symbols: > plotsetup(ps, plotoutput = `fig1.eps`, plotoptions=`portrait,noborder,height=5in,width=5in`); > plot(sin(x),x=0..1,labels=[x,y]); Looking in the eps files themselves, the "inline" version (%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0, Creator: FreeHEP Graphics2D Driver) writes the x axis label with

Hello. I badly know English and I ask to excuse. I use Maple10. I can not execute integration of complex{difficult} function. Ic:=int(A/(1+(r-r0)^2/A^2)*(1/sqrt(1-w0^2/r^2)),r=w0..infinity); Thanks for attention.

This is a copy of a post I made at the comp.soft-sys.math.maple newsgroup: I just installed the x86_64 version of maple 10 on my ubuntu linux desktop, but I can't figure out why xmaple won't run. Installing in the first place was a bit of a pain: I had to use the '-i console' parameter, and once it was installed, I had to chmod +x the executables and replace the maple10/jre.X86_64_LINUX/bin and maple10/jre.X86_64_LINUX/lib directories with links to my current java version's (1.5.0_06) directories. I had no problem activating, and plain old console 'maple' runs fine, but nothing happens when I try to run 'xmaple' or 'maple -x'. It just pauses for a second or two when I press return, and then ends. Now I know this distribution of linux isn't supported, but I don't see why it can't be made to work. Any suggestions?

I have a Primitive Polynomial over GF(2) of degree 8. p(x) = x^8 + x^6 + x^3 + x^2 + 1 I need to evaluate a root 'w' such that p(w) = 0 How do I do it?

Following are coupled PDEs governing the system. c1 ∂_x1S11 + c2 ∂_x1S22 + c3 ∂_x2S12 = 0 --- (1) c2 ∂_x2S11 + c1 ∂_x2S22 + c3 ∂_x1S12 = 0 --- (2) ∂_{x2 x2}S11 + ∂_{x1 x1}S22 - 2 ∂_{x1 x2}S12 = 0 --- (3) where c1, c2, and c3 are constants. S11, S22, and S33 are 2-dimensional field. And boundary conditions are appropriately defined. In fact, Eq.(1) and (2) are the equilibrium equations and Eq.(3) is the compatibility equation of 2D static strain-stress problem. I don't have any experiences on constructing finite difference equations of coupled

The exponential function behaves a little strange sometimes. This happens in Maple 9. It thinks that 0^0 is 1. I'm actually in agreement with that, although I've seen many a mathemtician argue that it should really be undefined. De gustibus non est disputandum. But it's strange that it think that 0^(1+I) is 0 but 0^I gives a divide-by-zero error, without mentioning that the division by zero occurs somewhere in a call to ln(x). It's something stupid, but a potential source of mystifying bugs in user code. Some CASes, such as Maxima, are smart enough to have a specific error for 0^z for complex z. Still others return NaN.

One of the items missing in the "combinat" package is that there exists no procedure to produce one combination at a time from C(n,k). The only possibility is to generate a list of all possible subsets of C(n,k) in a single go.

I am looking for a function/library to generate sequences of combination C(n,k), which would generate the next (successor) sequence, given a sequence. ie next:=some_proc(n,k,prev) should return the next sequence after the sequence "prev". Is this available anywhere ?

I have problems with assume integer. Here is a worksheet yielding a wrong solution. Is there something other than assume(integer)? > restart: > assume(k,integer); > is(k,integer); > is(l,integer); > t1:=int(sin(x)*sin(k*x),x=0..Pi); > t2:=int(sin(x)*sin(l*x),x=0..Pi); > limit(t2,l=1);

I want to create a list and apply sin(x) to it. Is there something that can help me do the following.... Apply sin(x) to a list as in... sin[2, Pi, Pi/3] Please let me know.
