command completion (when hitting the ESC key) in Maple could be made more useful. It does not seem to support type names for example.

What shows up on the command completion window are  possible commands that start with that partial text.

It does not list other known names by Maple, such as type names and other options.

This makes it hard to use in many places, where one have to remember type names exactly instead of the system helping them by listing all possible type names that start with that string.

Is there a way around this? Will Maple next version support smarter and more complete command completion menu?

 

 

This integral 

for n integer and n>=0

Maple finds it if I tell it this in the assumptions.  But if I remove the assumption that n>=0 and just keep the assumption that n is integer, it hangs. (at least I waited 5 minutes and gave up).

Is this something to be expected?  If I try the same thing in Mathematica, i.e. telling it n is an integer, but not that it is n>=0, it returns result  immediately, with condition that the result is valid for n>=0.

restart;
int(x^n*exp(-x),x=0..infinity) assuming n::integer

seems to hang.

In Mathematica:

My question is  if this behaviour of int hanging is to be expected, since it was not told than n>=0? Should it have returned result of n!  like Mathematica, with the assumption given in the result as well?

Since for n<0 the integral does not converge, and maple knows this

restart;
int(x^(-2)*exp(-x),x=0..infinity)

            infinity

May be this is just a design issue in int and it was stuck trying to evaluate the integral for negative integers, and could not determine if it converges or not?

Any thoughts?

Maple 2020.2

Is there a workaround for this?

restart;
int(sqrt(x)*sin(sqrt(3)*ln(x)/2),x)

The answer according to Mathematica is

Why this fails in solve in Maple 2020.2?

restart;

A:=-ln(u)/2 + ln(3*u - 2)/6;
B:=_C1 + ln(x);
sol := solve(A-B= 0,u) assuming real

No error if I try the above code in Maple 2019.2.

Also, the error goes away if I replace assuming real  with assuming x::real

restart;

A:=-ln(u)/2 + ln(3*u - 2)/6;
B:=_C1 + ln(x);
sol := solve(A-B= 0,u) assuming x::real

Is this a bug in solve?

Why this error shows up when adding assuming?

restart;
expr:= ln(c^2*y/sqrt(c^2)+sqrt(c^2*y^2+1));
simplify(expr,size=true,evaluate_known_functions=false);
simplify(expr,size=true,evaluate_known_functions=false) assuming real;  #error

 

Is this to be expected?
