This is really a math question. But I can't figure how Maple did it.

Maple solves the ODE with 2 initial conditions correctly.

But if I use the general solution, and setup the set 2 equations, and tell Maple to solve _C1 and _C2, it says there is no solutions. Which is correct.

I would really like to know how Maple then managed to solve for these initial conditions.  This is problem from text book

I know how to solve it by hand to obtain general solution. But do not know how find solution that satisfies the IC's. when pluggin the initial conditions, the resulting 2 equation have no solution.

restart;
ode:=2*diff(y(x),x$2)=exp(y(x));
maple_general_sol:=dsolve(ode);
odetest(maple_general_sol,ode);
IC:=y(0)=0,D(y)(0)=1;
maple_sol_with_IC:=dsolve([ode,IC]);
odetest(maple_sol_with_IC,[ode,IC]);

The goal is to now take the general solution found by Maple above, and manually solve for _C1 and _C2:

eq1:=0=subs(x=0,rhs(maple_general_sol));
the_derivative:= diff(rhs(maple_general_sol),x):
eq2:=1=subs(x=0,the_derivative);

Two equations, two unknown. But using solve or PDEtools:-Solve produce no solution.

sol1:=solve([eq1,eq2],[_C1,_C2]);
sol2:=PDEtools:-Solve([eq1,eq2],[_C1,_C2]);

Looking at equation (1) above, we see that it is the same as 

eq1:=1=(tan(_C2/(2*_C1))^2 + 1)/_C1^2;

Because 0=ln(Z) means Z=1. Using the above simpler equation now gives

eq1:=1=(tan(_C2/(2*_C1))^2 + 1)/_C1^2;
the_derivative:= diff(rhs(maple_general_sol),x):
eq2:=1=subs(x=0,the_derivative);
sol1:=solve([eq1,eq2],[_C1,_C2]);

We see that there is indeed no solution. Second equation above says _C1= tan(.). Let tan(.)=Z. Plugging this in first equation gives Z^2= (Z^1+1) which has no solution for Z since this says 0=1 

So direct appliction of the initial conditions produces no solution. So how did Maple find the solution it obtained? I also tried using limits. But no luck. Book does not show how to obtain solution either. 

Any ideas?

When solving this by hand   sqrt(y)=tanh(x), I would square both sides to obtain  y=tanh(x)^2 as solution.  

Maple does this when RHS is tan,cos,sin, but not when RHS is hyperbolic.

Why is that, and how to best tell Maple to give  the simple solution? Here is an example

restart;
eq:=sqrt(y)=tanh(x);
sol:=solve(eq,y);

Compare to Mathematica:

I can post-process Maple solution like this

restart;
eq:=sqrt(y)=tanh(x);
sol:=solve(eq,y);
sol:=convert(sol,trigh);
sol:=simplify(sol)

Which is tanh(x)^2.  

But this is all too much work, since this is done in a program, and I do not know what specific convert to use at the time to try.

My question is, why does not maple simply solves   sqrt(y) = f(x)  giving     y=f(x)^2?  it works for generic function

restart;
eq:=sqrt(y)=f(x);
sol:=solve(eq,y);

it works for non-hyper trig functions also

restart;
eq:=sqrt(y)=tan(x);
sol:=solve(eq,y);

Is there a trick to make it work for hyperbolic functions also automatically?

ps. for now, to avoid all these issues, I am doing this

restart;
the_rhs:=tanh(x);
eq:=sqrt(y)=f;
sol:=solve(eq,y);
sol:=subs(f=the_rhs,sol);

Since I know that the RHS contains no y before hand. The above bypasses any issues Maple has with hyper trig functions.

When Maple converts a matrix or a vector to Latex it uses latex array, which  is fine, but what it does is insert an exatra \\ at the end of the last row, just before the \end{array} 

This causes problem for some software which reads the latex file. It causes the software to take this as empty row and inserts a blank row at the end.

Here is a small example

A:=Matrix([[1,2],[3,4]]);
Physics:-Latex(A);

              \left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & 2 \\3 & 4 \\\end{array}\right]

Notice the extra \\  just before the \end{array} In Latex, this tells latex compiler to insert newline basically.

When opening the latex file using external software, which reads Latex and converts it to GUI, it show this

And now I have to go edit the latex by hand removing the extra \\ (inside the editor I can do global search and replace)

A better outout from Maple's Latex command would be the following

\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & 2 \\3 & 4 \end{array}\right]

Even though both are valid Latex, the above is better.  I was wondering how hard it is to do this change.

All what the conversion needs to do is just check if the row in the matrix (or Vector) is the last one, and omit the extra \\ at the end of the last row. That is all. 

I could ofcourse write code to try to parse this each time I call Latex and to remove \\ myself in the program, but it will be much easier if Maple automatically did this.

ps. if the Latex conversion source code could be made public, others could help make improvement to it for free, benefiting Maple and everyone using it. Maplesoft would still approve the changes before checkin, and retain the copy right of the source code ofcourse. 

Maple 2020.1

Here is the problem. I start Maple 2020 on windows 10. Run a script which takes 1-2 days to complete. 

During this time, I can't use that Maple at all, since it is busy. 

I could start Maple 2019, and that runs as completely separate process. But I want to use Maple 2020 since some things in my scripts do not work on Maple 2019 that work on Maple 2020.

If I start a new instance of Maple 2020, by doing Start->Maple 2020. it does seem to start it OK, but I noticed it seems to be somehow still connected to the one running somehow.  May be they are sharing the same interface?

I can use the new instance now and open new worksheet and use it. But it seems to become very slow, as if it is sharing something with the other Maple 2020 running the long script which uses lots of resources. It is not RAM issue, I have 64 GB RAM, and there is plenty of free RAM left. 

When I close the new Maple 2020 workseet I started, I get a message asking if I want to save the worksheet that I have open from the earlier instance which is still running ! 

I say no ofcourse, as I do not want to terminate that instance, I want to keep it running until the script is completed.

My question is: Could someone may be explain exactly what happens when one starts new Maple 2020, while one is allready running? Why it seems they are sharing either the interface or something else.  How to start completely separate Maple 2020 instance on same PC while one is allready running?

With Mathematica, this issue does not happen. I can start two instances of same version on same PC, and there is nothing shared between them at all.  This does not seem to be the case with Maple.

Maple 2020.1 on windows 10.

sometimes solve returns solution of the form

restart;

#eqs:=.....
#sol:=solve(eqs,{v[1],v[2],v[3]});

sol:={v[1]=t,v[2]=3/2*t,v[3]=v[3]};

And wanted to remove all those that represnt arbitrary solution, which is v[3]=v[3] above.

I could do this using

remove(x->lhs(x)=rhs(x),sol);

which gives

{v[1]=t,v[2]=3/2*t};

But as an excersise, I could not figure how to do the same using subsindent (where I wanted to replace v[3]=v[3] with {} or NULL,. and also using applyrule.

Is it possible to do the same as above but using subsindent and applyrule (which is similar to patmatch)?
