Suppose I have a metric g, and I want to perform a conformal transformation g = exp(2Phi(X))*g, is there a straightforward way to do this for curvature quantitieies (Christoffel, Ricci Scalar etc)? I was able to do it rather easily for the Christoffel symbols, as seen below, but it required me making a substitution for each index pair. While this isn't horrible, it would be nice if there was a way to do it without this procedure.

** Edited to make it Phi(X) 

Any thoughts appreciated, thank you!

I have a procedure that I am trying to run that would be an improvement/more sophisticated way of solving a problem that I have previously solved. When I try and run my procedure I am getting an error, and from what I gather with the error is that there are some values when inserted into my procedure that cannot be evaluated. Just for context it is a procedure that contains numerical solutions to a system of DEs and and contains inequalities. 

I would like to know is there an easy method to figure out what values are giving me this error? 

Or a follow up, is there something wrong with my procedure that is giving me this error? I have included some commentary in my workshet as well to hopefully make everything clear. 

Thanks.

I have a differential equation which I am looking for a series solution in inverse powers of r. I am doing this by matching inverse powers between the RHS and LHS of the differential equation and then finding the coefficient in the series solution that would solve this. I have written a little procedure which returns the coefficients, I am just curious if there is a command that will do this for me or if i can improve on this technique? I tried the Solve command in PDETools but it just kept evaluating and did not return an answer. 

Thanks in advance. 

EDIT: More detail provided in the first reply.

I have a thirder order ODE with non polynomial coefficients and I naively thought to try dsolve for fun to see what happens and Maple returned DESol with a second order differential equation and an arbitrary coefficient. I know Maple outputs DESol when it cannot find a solution similar to RootOf but the arbitrary constant is what is throwing me off. 

I am unsure how to interpret this, if a particular solution is found I could reduce the order and see how I could get with the second order ODE but maple doesn't produce a particular solution when I run that command.

I am running Maple 2023 - yes I should update - and I found a weird "bug" if you could call it that. For different versions of the Physics package I am getting different answers on the same problem. 
 

This is what I was getting when I run Version 1410:

And this is what I get if I used the latet update for 2023, Version 1683:

Strange right? I bring this up because it makes me wonder about potential errors in other computations...

The answer - equation 6 - in 1410 is the correct answer. This is simply a derivation of the Einstein Tensor.
