Dear All,

I am facing some problems. This kind of error has been shown ""Error, (in plot/iplot2d/expression) bad range arguments 0.3e-1 = .1 .. .5, 0.3e-1 = .1 .. .5"

Hello,

With the new version 2025, double-clicking a file opens a second instance of Maple.

How can I make this open a new tab in the active instance, as it did with version 2024?

Thank you.

Bests regards.

I wanted to try this simplification in Maple 2025, only to find timelimit hangs.

Waited 3 hrs when timelimit was 30 second. It seems simplify got locked up and timelimit does not work.

Not only that, Maple itself hangs and clicking on retsrat kernel or red small bottom at lower level corner in Maple 2025 has no effect at all.  

Only way is to kill all of Maple from command line.

Make sure to save all your work before trying.

There are two bugs here: First is that timelimit still hangs (even though Maplesoft claimed it is fixed almost 5 years ago)

https://www.mapleprimes.com/maplesoftblog/213986-Introducing-Maple-Learn-officially

You will also be pleased to know that Maple 2021 addresses the timelimit() issue that you mentioned.

The second issue is that one can not close the kernel from frontend. (well, this is because kernel hanged)

Note that closing Maple works using File->EXIT but this leaves the Maple kernel/mserver  running  in background!

So had to go kill that process from command line manually also.

So make sure to do this, else you will end up with many mserver processes running in background after maple is closed if you try this more than one time.

Any one knows why this happens for this example? Should not timelimit have finally been fixed in Maple 2025?

I have been complaining about timelimit not always working for ages. Have no idea why Maplesoft can't figure solution to this problem for good. 

timelimit is the most important command for me, as without it, my program will never work and will just keep hanging.

I spend 50% of my time finding worarounds around Maple bugs instead of what I should be doing which is write more code.

Hello,
Can you tell me how to decompose a rational fraction into simple elements in Fp?

Thank you.

I'm using an old old version of Maple (Maple 7) and there's a mistake in the Mellin Transform which hopefully has long since been fixed in subsequent versions but just in case it hasn't....

I was taking the Mellin Transform of Bessel Functions, specifically BesselK, and it's fine for BesselK(0,x), but when I compute BesselK(0,x^{1/2}), it gives the wrong answer.

In the transform of BesselK(0,x^(1/2)), It should be Gamma(p) not Gamma(p/2).

I'm not sure if this is fixed in newer Maples or if there's a work around. 

Whenever I size a 3d plot, that I'm trying to stretch out the width while keeping the height, never seems to work.  For example using the size=[3000,800] produces a plot area that's bigger but NOT actually a plot stretched in the x axis.  Going to size=[3000,3000] of course then makes the plot and the area bigger and so scales both x and y bigger.  However I don't want the y axis scaled up - I'm trying to scale the plot up - not the area.  And what happened to the window zoom, icon - we've lost zoom control to just magnify + and magnify - (at least in 2022) this seems like a regression. 

Is this plot size a bug or just a plot command that fails to function like it should? 

Hi, I'm new to Maple.

when nesting some multiplications in a summation operator, I get results that I can't figure out.

I've entered 4 formulas that should give the same result, if I understood things correctly. The formula FB gives me problems; am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug in Maple? The problem arose in a more complicated formula, but I trimmed the formula down to a minimum, in order to illustrate the discrepancy.

I hope someone can shed some light on this, because I'm stuck.

How do I find the solutions "links" with only answers in the range 0 to +1? The domain of vgl is 0 <=beta <= 1. If the system is inconsistent or insufficient to solve xi (for example, if xi does not appear in the equation) then give the text "no solution". If there is a solution then show it. Filter only real solutions. Please help me with better code:

restart;
assume(beta > 0, beta < 1):
interface(showassumed=0):

vgl[1] := -((beta*xi^2 + 2*xi^2 - beta)*(beta - 1)^2)/4 = 0:  # or some other equation (sometimes xi does not appear in the equation)

if has(lhs(vgl[1]), xi) or has(rhs(vgl[1]), xi) then
    links := solve([vgl[1], xi > 0, xi < beta], xi):
    # Filter only real solutions
    links_real := select(x -> type(x, equation) and is(Im(rhs(x)) = 0), [links]):
    if nops(links_real) > 0 then
        x1 := links_real;
        print("Real solution(s):", x1);
    else
        print("No real solution in range for xi.");
    end if;
else
    print("The equation does not contain xi — solving for xi is not possible.");
end if;
 

is it possible to ask Maple to verify ode solution obtained from book, which is given in parametric form to check if it is correct?

I know odetest supports both explicit and implicit solutions. But parametric solution is neither of these.

The solution in parametric form makes it look simple to look at and understand, but at same time, not practical in terms of obtaining an explicit solution to verify it and to use it.

The book "handbook of exact solution for ordinary differential equations" by Polyanin and Zaitsev have many such solutions.

Here is one such example of many

I can not just give odetest the y(x) solution above, because the right side depends on tau, which is parameter. If I try to solve for tau in terms of x from the first equation it will become so complicated and odetest hangs. So a whole new different approach is needed as brute force method is not practical in most cases.

Some more examples from the book where solutions are given only in parametrric form

update

inspired by solution below by @acer, I found if I just use Solve on the x equation, in order to find t as function of x, and use that in the y equation, it will automatically return solution using RootOf.

Hence no need to explicitly evaluate the integral or explicity set up the RootOf manually.

Now odetest work.

i seperate my equation of real part and imaginary part i want  after taking integrale from my real part we see the pattern betwen real and imaginary part  which they equal about variable beside coefficient , i want to determine and find parameter from real part of my equation then substitute in imaginary for solving but  the number of condition i don't know is how much and there is a little bit repeatation how i can determine the correct one and then substitute ?

Is there a trick to make Maple simplify 

to

I can't use the exp() trick given in earlier questions, since there is no exp here. Below are my attempts. Can someone find another smart trick to do this simplification? Should simplify() have simplified it as is with no assumptions or using tricks? This is all done in code, so solutions can not depend on "looking on screen" and deciding what to do for each step.

For reference, using another software

I'm trying to extract the real and imaginary parts of a given PDE. However, during the substitution step, something unexpected occurs. Specifically, my replacement does not yield the expected result, and an extra term appears: D(k)(t*w + x) in the expression P11. I'm unsure why this term arises and would appreciate any insight into what might be going wrong during the substitution process.

I asked similar question 5 years ago about Physics update but it was not possible to find this information

How-To-Find-What-Changed-In-Physics

I'd like to ask now again same about  SupportTools. Can one find out what update is actually included in new version?

Even if it is just 2-3 lines. It will be good if users had an idea what was fixed or improved in the new version.

Any update to software should inlcude such information. Not asking for details, just general information will be nice. Right now one does an update and have no idea at all what the new update fixed or improved which is not good.

May be such information can be displayed on screen after a user updates?

Maplesoft’s CEO, Dr. Laurent Bernardin, has written an opinion piece on Fostering Student Retention through Success in Mathematics. In it, he discusses ways to reduce university dropout rates by turning the technology shortcuts students are already using in their math courses into data-driven insights and interventions that promote student success.

You can read the whole article here:  Fostering Student Retention through Success in Mathematics

You will not be shocked to learn that Maplesoft plays a role in the strategy he proposes. 😊 (But this is a serious problem for a lot of schools, and we really would like to help!)
