## small note about the new Maple 2020.2 and Latex...

by: Maple 2020

I am testing Maple 2020.2 with new Latex with Physics version latest 879.

The latex generated now issues \! between the symbol and the () next to it to improve the spacing. This post is just to let anyone using the package mleftright in Latex, that this will cause a problem. So it is better to remove this package if you are allready using it.

Here is an example

eq:=y(x)=exp(x/2);
Latex(eq)

y \! \left(x \right) = {\mathrm e}^{\frac{x}{2}}

In earlier version of Physics:-Latex (now it is just Latex), the above generated this

             y  \left(x \right) = {\mathrm e}^{\frac{x}{2}}

Notice, no \! in earlier version.

If you happen to be using \usepackage{mleftright} to improve the spacing for \left and \right, which I was using, you'll get negative side effect. A solution is to remove this package. Here is an example showing the above Latex compiled with this package added, and without it, so you can see the differerence.

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{mleftright}
\mleftright
\begin{document}

which gives using latest Latex V 879. Maple 2020.2
$y \! \left(x \right) = {\mathrm e}^{\frac{x}{2}}$

And which gives using earlier Physics Latex. Using Maple 2020.1
$y \left(x \right) = {\mathrm e}^{\frac{x}{2}}$
\end{document}

This is the output without using this package. by removing the inlcude command in the above Latex code and not calling mlfright. Now the problem is gone:

I like the effect added from \! , which is a manual way to improve the space, which this package was doing.

just be careful not to use mleftright package now, which is a somewhat popular package in latex and It was recommended to use sometime ago to improve the spacing, as it will over correct the spacing, and looks like not needed any more with latest Maple Latex.

Maple 2020.2 includes corrections and improvements to printing and export to PDF, support for macOS 11.0, more MATLAB connectivity, resolves issues with the installation of the Maplesoft Physics Updates, and more.  We recommend that all Maple 2020 users install these updates.

This update is available through Tools>Check for Updates in Maple, and is also available from our website on the Maple 2020.2 download page, where you can also find more details.

## Something about one degree of freedom for testing...

by: Maple 17

One forum had a topic related to such a platform. You can download a video of the movement of this platform from the picture at this link. The manufacturer calls the three-degrees platform, that is, having three degrees of freedom. Three cranks rotate, and the platform is connected to them by connecting rods through ball joints. The movable beam (rocker arm) has torsion springs.  I counted 4 degrees of freedom, because when all three cranks are locked, the platform remains mobile, which is camouflaged by the springs of the rocker arm. Actually, the topic on the forum arose due to problems with the work of this platform. Neither the designers nor those who operate the platform take into account this additional fourth, so-called parasitic degree of freedom. Obviously, if we will to move the rocker with the locked  cranks , the platform will move.
Based on this parasitic movement and a similar platform design, a very simple device is proposed that has one degree of freedom and is, in fact, a spatial linkage mechanism. We remove 3 cranks, keep the connecting rods, convert the rocker arm into a crank and get such movements that will not be worse (will not yield) to the movements of the platform with 6 degrees of freedom. And by changing the length of the crank, the plane of its rotation, etc., we can create simple structures with the required design trajectories of movement and one degree of freedom.
Two examples (two pictures for each example). The crank rotates in the vertical plane (side view and top view)
PLAT_1.mw

and the crank rotates in the horizontal plane (side view and top view).

The program consists of three parts. 1 choice of starting position, 2 calculation of the trajectory, 3 design of the picture.  Similar to the programm  in this topic.

## A little about controlled platforms (parallel...

by: Maple 17

Controlled platform with 6 degrees of freedom. It has three rotary-inclined racks of variable length:

and an example of movement parallel to the base:

Perhaps the Stewart platform may not reproduce such trajectories, but that is not the point. There is a way to select a design for those specific functions that our platform will perform. That is, first we consider the required trajectories of the platform movement, and only then we select a driving device that can reproduce them. For example, we can fix the extreme positions of the actuators during the movement of the platform and compare them with the capabilities of existing designs, or simulate your own devices.
In this case, the program consists of three parts. (The text of the program directly for the first figure : PLATFORM_6.mw) In the first part, we select the starting point for the movement of a rigid body with six degrees of freedom. Here three equations f6, f7, f8 are responsible for the six degrees of freedom. The equations f1, f2, f3, f4, f5 define a trajectory of motion of a rigid body. The coordinates of the starting point are transmitted via disk E for the second part of the program. In the second part of the program, the trajectory of a rigid body is calculated using the Draghilev method. Then the trajectory data is transferred via the disk E for the third part of the program.
In the third part of the program, the visualization is executed and the platform motion drive device is modeled.
It is like a sketch of a possible way to create controlled platforms with six degrees of freedom. Any device that can provide the desired trajectory can be inserted into the third part. At the same time, it is obvious that the geometric parameters of the movement of this device with the control of possible emergency positions and the solution of the inverse kinematics problem can be obtained automatically if we add the appropriate code to the program text.
Equations can be of any kind and can be combined with each other, and they must be continuously differentiable. But first, the equations must be reduced to uniform variables in order to apply the Draghilev method.
(These examples use implicit equations for the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle.)

## What to take care of when entering a tetrad

by: Maple 2020

In the study of the Gödel spacetime model, a tetrad was suggested in the literature [1]. Alas, upon entering the tetrad in question, Maple's Tetrad's package complained that that matrix was not a tetrad! What went wrong? After an exchange with Edgardo S. Cheb-Terrab, Edgardo provided us with awfully useful comments regarding the use of the package and suggested that the problem together with its solution be presented in a post, as others may find it of some use for their work as well.

The Gödel spacetime solution to Einsten's equations is as follows.

 >
 (1)
 >
 (2)

Working with Cartesian coordinates,

 >
 (3)

the Gödel line element is

 >
 (4)

Setting the metric

 >
 (5)

The problem appeared upon entering the matrix M below supposedly representing the alleged tetrad.

 >
 >
 (6)

Each of the rows of this matrix is supposed to be one of the null vectors . Before setting this alleged tetrad, Maple was asked to settle the nature of it, and the answer was that M was not a tetrad! With the Physics Updates v.857, a more detailed message was issued:

 >
 (7)

So there were actually three problems:

 1 The entered entity was a null tetrad, while the default of the Physics package is an orthonormal tetrad. This can be seen in the form of the tetrad metric, or using the library commands:
 >
 (8)
 >
 (9)
 >
 (10)
 2 The matrix M would only be a tetrad if the spacetime index is contravariant. On the other hand, the command IsTetrad will return true only when M represents a tetrad with both indices covariant. For  instance, if the command IsTetrad  is issued about the tetrad automatically computed by Maple, but is passed the matrix corresponding to   with the spacetime index contravariant,  false is returned:
 >
 (11)
 >
 (12)
 3 The matrix M corresponds to a tetrad with different signature, (+---), instead of Maple's default (---+). Although these two signatures represent the same physics, they differ in the ordering of rows and columns: the timelike component is respectively in positions 1 and 4.

The issue, then, became how to correct the matrix M to be a valid tetrad: either change the setup, or change the matrix M. Below the two courses of action are provided.

First the simplest: change the settings. According to the message (7), setting the tetrad to be null, changing the signature to be (+---) and indicating that M represents a tetrad with its spacetime index contravariant would suffice:

 >
 (13)

The null tetrad metric is now as in the reference used.

 >
 (14)

Checking now with the spacetime index contravariant

 >
 (15)

At this point, the command IsTetrad  provided with the equation (15), where the left-hand side has the information that the spacetime index is contravariant

 >
 (16)

Great! one can now set the tetrad M exactly as entered, without changing anything else. In the next line it will only be necessary to indicate that the spacetime index, , is contravariant.

 >
 (17)

The tetrad is now the matrix M. In addition to checking this tetrad making use of the IsTetrad command, it is also possible to check the definitions of tetrads and null vectors using TensorArray.

 >
 (18)
 >
 (19)

For the null vectors:

 >
 (20)
 >
 (21)

From its Weyl scalars, this tetrad is already in the canonical form for a spacetime of Petrov type "D": only

 >
 (22)
 >
 (23)

Attempting to transform it into canonicalform returns the tetrad (17) itself

 >
 (24)

Let's now obtain the correct tetrad without changing the signature as done in (13).

Start by changing the signature back to

 >
 (25)

So again, M is not a tetrad, even if the spacetime index is specified as contravariant.

 >
 (26)

By construction, the tetrad M has its rows formed by the null vectors with the ordering . To understand what needs to be changed in M, define those vectors, independent of the null vectors  (with underscore) that come with the Tetrads package.

 >

and set their components using the matrix M taking into account that its spacetime index is contravariant, and equating the rows of M  using the ordering :

 >
 (27)
 >
 (28)

Check the covariant components of these vectors towards comparing them with the lines of the Maple's tetrad

 >
 (29)

This shows the  null vectors (with underscore) that come with Tetrads package

 >
 (30)

So (29) computed from M is the same as (30) computed from Maple's tetrad.

But, from (30) and the form of Maple's tetrad

 >
 (31)

for the current signature

 >
 (32)

we see the ordering of the null vectors is , not  used in [1] with the signature (+ - - -). So the adjustment required in  M, resulting in , consists of reordering M's rows to be

 >
 (33)
 >
 (34)

Comparing  with the tetrad computed by Maple ((24) and (31), they are actually the same.

## Computing a tetrad in canonical form - automatically...

by: Maple

In a recent question in Mapleprimes, a spacetime (metric) solution to Einstein's equations, from chapter 27 of the book of Exact Solutions to Einstein's equations [1] was discussed. One of the issues was about computing a tetrad for that solution [27, 37, 1] such that the corresponding Weyl scalars are in canonical form. This post illustrates how to do that, with precisely that spacetime metric solution, in two different ways: 1) automatically, all in one go, and 2) step-by-step. The step-by-step computation is useful to verify results and also to compute different forms of the tetrads or Weyl scalars. The computation below is performed using the latest version of the Maplesoft Physics Updates.

According to the help page TransformTetrad , the canonical form of the Weyl scalars for each different Petrov type is

So for type II, when the tetrad is in canonical form, we expect only  and  different from 0. For the tetrad computed automatically, however, the scalars are

 >
 (8)

The question is, how to bring the tetrad  (equation (7)) into canonical form. The plan for that is outlined in Chapter 7, by Chandrasekhar, page 388, of the book "General Relativity, an Einstein centenary survey", edited by S.W. Hawking and W.Israel. In brief, for Petrov type II, use a transformation of to make , then a transformation of  making , finally use a transformation of  making . For an explanation of these transformations see the help page for TransformTetrad . This plan, however, is applicable if and only if the starting tetrad results in , which we see in (8) it is not the case, so we need, in addition, before applying this plan, to perform a transformation of  making

In what follows, the transformations mentioned are first performed automatically, in one go, letting the computer deduce each intermediate transformation, by passing to TransformTetrad the optional argument canonicalform. Then, the same result is obtained by transforming the starting tetrad  one step at at time, arriving at the same Weyl scalars. That illustrates well both how to get the result exploiting advanced functionality but also how to verify the result performing each step, and also how to get any desired different form of the Weyl scalars.

Although it is possible to perform both computations, automatically and step-by-step, departing from the tetrad (7), that tetrad and the corresponding Weyl scalars (8) have radicals, making the readability of the formulas at each step less clear. Both computations, can be presented in more readable form without radicals departing from the tetrad shown in the book, that is

 >
 (9)
 >
 (10)

The corresponding Weyl scalars free of radicals are

 >
 (11)

So set this tetrad as the starting point

 >
 (12)

All the transformations performed automatically, in one go

To arrive in one go, automatically, to a tetrad whose Weyl scalars are in canonical form as in (31), use the optional argument canonicalform:

 >
 >
 (13)

Note the length of

 >
 (14)

That length corresponds to several pages long. That happens frequently, you get Weyl scalars with a minimum of residual invariance, at the cost of a more complicated tetrad.

The transformations step-by-step leading to the same canonical form of the Weyl scalars

Step 0

As mentioned above, to apply the plan outlined by Chandrasekhar, the starting point needs to be a tetrad with , not the case of (9), so in this step 0 we use a transformation of  making . This transformation introduces a complex parameter E and to get  any value of E suffices. We use :

 >
 (15)
 >
 (16)

 >
 (17)

Step 1

Next is a transformation of  to make , that in the case of Petrov type II also implies on .According to the the help page TransformTetrad , this transformation introduces a parameter B that, according to the plan outlined by Chandrasekhar in Chapter 7 page 388, is one of the two identical roots (out of the four roots) of the principalpolynomial. To see the principal polynomial, or, directly, its roots you can use the PetrovType  command:

 >
 (18)

The first two are the same and equal to -1

 >
 (19)

 >
 (20)

Check this result and the corresponding Weyl scalars to verify that we now have  and

 >
 (21)
 >
 (22)

Step 2

Next is a transformation of  that makes . This transformation introduces a parameter E, that according to Chandrasekhar's plan can be taken equal to one of the roots of Weyl scalar that corresponds to the transformed tetrad. So we need to proceed in three steps:

 a. transform the tetrad introducing a parameter E in the tetrad's components
 b. compute the Weyl scalars for that transformed tetrad
 c. take  and solve for E
 d. apply the resulting value of E to the transformed tetrad obtained in step a.

a.Transform the tetrad and for simplicity take E real

 (24)

 (25)

c. Solve  discarding the case  which implies on no transformation

 (26)

d. Apply this result to the tetrad (23). In doing so, do not display the result, just measure its length (corresponds to two+ pages)

 (27)

Check the scalars, we expect

 (28)

Step 3

Use a transformation of  making . Such a transformation changes , where we need to take , and without loss of generality we can take

So, the transformed tetrad  to which corresponds Weyl scalars in canonical form, with  and , is

## Workaround for the problem of installing MapleCloud...

by: Maple 2020

Hi,
Some people using the Windows platform have had problems installing MapleCloud packages, including the Maplesoft Physics Updates. This problem does not happen in Macintosh or Linux/Unix, also does not happen with all Windows computers but with some of them, and is not a problem of the MapleCloud packages themselves, but a problem of the installer of packages.

I understand that a solution to this problem will be presented within an upcoming Maple dot release.

Meantime, there is a solution by installing a helper library; after that, MapleCloud packages install without problems in all Windows machines. So whoever is having trouble installing MapleCloud packages in Windows and prefers not to wait until that dot release, instead wants to install this helper library, please email me at physics@maplesoft.com

## Maple 2020.1.1 update

by: Maple 2020

We have just released an update to Maple, Maple 2020.1.1. This update includes the following:

• Correction to a problem that occurred when printing or exporting documents to PDF. If the document included a 3-D plot, nearby text was sometimes missing from the printed/exported document.
• Correction to an issue that prevented users from installing between-release updates to the Physics package

In particular, please note that this update fixes the problems reported on MaplePrimes in Maple 2020.1 issue with print to PDF  and installing the Maplesoft Physics updates. As always, we appreciate the feedback.

Maple 2020

Hello each and everyone,

I am still not able to install/update the Physics package and this since version 713.

I think the phenomenom happens when Maple 2020 was updated to version 2020.1

The 2 ways fail :

1) Physics:-Version(latest)  ==> kernel crashes (lost connection)

2) via the Cloud : it's even worse... "installation" lasts forever (i usually break it after 15 (!) minutes)

I removed totally Maple 2020.1 and reinstalled it, the problem is still there.

I wonder when Maplesoft developpers will fix this problem whitch has been around for a long time now.

I do *not* want to do it by hand as one of this forum contributor suggested me a while ago.

I use the Physics paxkage intensively so i'm hampered in my work.

Kind regards to all.

## Circumscribed ellipse

by: Maple 17

One way to find the equation of an ellipse circumscribed around a triangle. In this case, we solve a linear system of equations, which is obtained after fixing the values of two variables ( t1 and t2). These are five equations: three equations of the second-order curve at three vertices of the triangle and two equations of a linear combination of the coordinates of the gradient of the curve equation.
The solving of system takes place in the ELS procedure. When solving, hyperboles appear, so the program has a filter. The filter passes the equations of ellipses based on by checking the values of the invariants of the second-order curves.

## Creating Help - using HelpTools

by: Maple

@ianmccr posted here about making help for a package using makehelp. Here I show how to do this with the HelpTools package.

The attached worksheet shows how to create the help database for the Orbitals package available at the Applications Center or in the Maple Cloud. The help pages were created as worksheets - start using an existing help page as a model - use View/Open Page As Worksheet and then save from there. The topics and other information are entered by adding Attributes under File/Document Properties - for example for the realY help page these are:

Active=false means a regular help page; Active=true means an example worksheet.

There may be several aliases, for example the cartesion help page also describes the fullcartesian command and so Alias is: Orbitals[fullcartesian],cartesian,fullcartesian and Keyword is: Orbitals,cartesian,fullcartesian

Once a worksheet is created for each help page they are assembled into the help database with the attached file. More information is in the attached file

## Creating Help - An Exploration of makehelp

by: Maple 2019

MacDude posted a worksheet for creating help files using the makehelp command that I found very useful.  However, his worksheet created a table of contents that organized the command help pages under a single folder.  I wanted to create a help file table of contents with the commands organized into sub-folders under the main application folder. ie. Package Name,Folder Name, command. The help page for makehelp is not very informative; in particular the example that shows (purportedly) how to override the existing help pages with your own help file is very misleading.  Also, the description of the parameters to the browser option of the makehelp command is too vague. I needed an error message to tell me that the browser option expects parameters in the form List(Name,String).  In the end, I was able to get a folder/sub-folder structure using a structure [Folder Name,Subfolder Name,"Command"].  Sub-folders are sorted alphabetically. If anyone has a need, the attached worksheet shows how I created the table of contents structure.

## Plot styling - experimenting with Maple's plotting...

by: Maple

I like tweaking plots to get the look and feel I want, and luckily Maple has many plotting options that I often play with. Here, I visualize the same data several times, but each time with different styling.

First, some data.

restart:
data_1 := [[0,0],[1,2],[2,1.3],[3,6]]:
data_2 := [[0.5,3],[1,1],[2,5],[3,2]]:
data_3 := [[-0.5,3],[1.3,1],[2.5,5],[4.5,2]]:

This is the default look.

plot([data_1, data_2, data_3])

I think the darker background on this plot makes it easier to look at.

gray_grid :=
background      = "LightGrey"
,color           = [ ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[150/255, 40 /255, 27 /255])
,ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[0  /255, 0  /255, 0  /255])
,ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[68 /255, 108/255, 179/255]) ]
,axes            = frame
,axis[2]         = [color = black, gridlines = [10, thickness = 1, color = ColorTools:-Color("RGB", [1, 1, 1])]]
,axis[1]         = [color = black, gridlines = [10, thickness = 1, color = ColorTools:-Color("RGB", [1, 1, 1])]]
,axesfont        = [Arial]
,labelfont       = [Arial]
,size            = [400*1.78, 400]
,labeldirections = [horizontal, vertical]
,filled          = false
,transparency    = 0
,thickness       = 5
,style           = line:

plot([data_1, data_2, data_3], gray_grid);

I call the next style Excel, for obvious reasons.

excel :=
background      = white
,color           = [ ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[79/255,  129/255, 189/255])
,ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[192/255, 80/255,   77/255])
,ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[155/255, 187/255,  89/255])]
,axes            = frame
,axis[2]         = [gridlines = [10, thickness = 0, color = ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[134/255,134/255,134/255])]]
,font            = [Calibri]
,labelfont       = [Calibri]
,size            = [400*1.78, 400]
,labeldirections = [horizontal, vertical]
,transparency    = 0
,thickness       = 3
,style           = point
,symbol          = [soliddiamond, solidbox, solidcircle]
,symbolsize      = 15:

plot([data_1, data_2, data_3], excel)

This style makes the plot look a bit like the oscilloscope I have in my garage.

dark_gridlines :=
background      = ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[0,0,0])
,color           = white
,axes            = frame
,linestyle       = [solid, dash, dashdot]
,axis            = [gridlines = [10, linestyle = dot, color = ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[0.5, 0.5, 0.5])]]
,font            = [Arial]
,size            = [400*1.78, 400]:

plot([data_1, data_2, data_3], dark_gridlines);

The colors in the next style remind me of an Autumn morning.

autumnal :=
background      =  ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[236/255, 240/255, 241/255])
,color           = [  ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[144/255, 54/255, 24/255])
,ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[105/255, 108/255, 51/255])
,ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[131/255, 112/255, 82/255]) ]
,axes            = frame
,font            = [Arial]
,size            = [400*1.78, 400]
,filled          = true
,axis[2]         = [gridlines = [10, thickness = 1, color = white]]
,axis[1]         = [gridlines = [10, thickness = 1, color = white]]
,symbol          = solidcircle
,style           = point
,transparency    = [0.6, 0.4, 0.2]:

plot([data_1, data_2, data_3], autumnal);

In honor of a friend and ex-colleague, I call this style "The Swedish".

swedish :=
background      = ColorTools:-Color("RGB", [0/255, 107/255, 168/255])
,color           = [ ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[169/255, 158/255, 112/255])
,ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[126/255,  24/255,   9/255])
,ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[254/255, 205/255,   0/255])]
,axes            = frame
,axis            = [gridlines = [10, color = ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[134/255,134/255,134/255])]]

plot([data_1, data_2, data_3], swedish);

This looks like a plot from a journal article.

experimental_data_mono :=

background       = white
,color           = black
,axes            = box
,axis            = [gridlines = [linestyle = dot, color = ColorTools:-Color("RGB",[0.5, 0.5, 0.5])]]
,font            = [Arial, 11]
,legendstyle     = [font = [Arial, 11]]
,size            = [400, 400]
,labeldirections = [horizontal, vertical]
,style           = point
,symbol          = [solidcircle, solidbox, soliddiamond]
,symbolsize      = [15,15,20]:

plot([data_1, data_2, data_3], experimental_data_mono, legend = ["Annihilation", "Authority", "Acceptance"]);

If you're willing to tinker a little bit, you can add some real character and personality to your visualizations. Try it!

I'd also be very interested to learn what you find attractive in a plot - please do let me know.
