This is a question I have also submitted to the technical support, I am worried that it is a bit too technical for them, however:)

I am debugging a C program which links against the OpenMaple API library (under Linux and with Maple 17 and 18). I am using valgrind memcheck, because I am experiencing strange behavior which could be due to writes beyond allocated blocks of memory.  

The first thing which jumps to my eye, are many errors of the types

Use of uninitialised value of size (4/8/16)

Invalid read of size (4/8/16)

Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) 

The same errors are also printed when I use the examples that ship with Maple. For instance, I compile "simple.c" with

gcc  -Wl,--no-as-needed -lmaple -lmaplec -lrt -L /usr/lib -L $MAPLEDIR/bin.X86_64_LINUX -I $MAPLEDIR/extern/include -o simple simple.c

and run valgrind as

valgrind --tool=memcheck --error-limit=no --log-file=memcheck.log ./simple

memcheck.txt 

Some, but not all, of the errors occur in __intel_sse2_strcpy or __intel_sse2_strlen. Furthermore, according to valgrind there are definite memory leaks. which appear in the library. 

Practically this makes it hard for me to identify my potential own errors. I am a bit surprised to see so many warnings because I tend to fix my own programs until memcheck does not print these anymore (before I give it away at least). The question is: Can I consider these errors as safe to ignore? How would I distinguish real errors which may appear in my application?

I'm trying to solve a system of four pdes and I know that the Newton method won't converge.

Are there other numerical methods that I can use?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Eve

I am trying to simplify equation 18 using equations 8 and 9. It should look a little like equation 21, but instead I get the results in equations 19 and 20.  I tried using different substituions, but algsubs gets the closest answer. A few terms are going to zero after the substitution.

When I substitute Z(X) then Zbar(X) terms vanish, and visa versa.

Hi,

I'm trying to create interactive plots by using Explore to help demonstrate the effects parameters have on functions. I created one successfully to illustrate shifts and stretches of a polynomial:

transform(A,B,X,H,P,K):=Explore(plot(a*(b*x+h)^(p)+k,x=X),parameters=[a=A, b= B,h=H,p=P,k=K],placement=right)

However when I try to do the same with a solved ODE it returns an error message:

Explore(plot(1/(-p*x+x+1)^(1/(p-1)), x = -5 .. 5), parameters = [p = -20 .. 20], placement = right);

Executing this gives the error message: 

Warning, expecting only range variable x in expression 1/((-p*x+x+1)^(1/(p-1))) to be plotted but found name p
INTERFACE_PLOT(AXESLABELS(x, ""),

VIEW(-5. .. 5., DEFAULT, _ATTRIBUTE("source" = "mathdefault"))),

parameters = [p = -20 .. 20], placement = right

I'm not sure why it is having difficulty dealing with "p" when it had no difficulty with the first. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello

I wantt to assigne value to a variable that doesn't exist before the radio button. How can i do that?

Could you please help me?

I am attempting to plot an initial value problem in Maple 18.  I have my equation defined, as well as a general solution and two particular solutions at y(0)=3/4 and y(0)=1/2.  To graph, I entered the command

DEplot(de,y(x),x=-3..3,{[0,1/2],[0,3/4]},dirgrid=[12,12],color=black,linecolor=blue,thickness=2);

but instead of returning a graph, the software gave me the error message

Error, (in DEtools/DEplot/CheckDE) extra unknowns found: sinx

The Maple support site lists this as an unknown error, and as a new user, I'm not sure what to do.  What does this mean?

How I can get a list of all label refernces of a worksheet. In fact I want to write a small code which would produce the LaTex output (written to a text file) for my indicated labels. thanx

I am new to Maple. I am working though the manual and in chapter two I tried to get the derivative of ln(x^2+1). I am getting something completely different that the actual derivative. I tried a simple derivatie (the derivative of 2x and get 0). I do not know what I am doing wrong. Any help will be appreciated.

I want to put the solution obtained from ShowSolution() command of Student[Calculus1] into my LaTeX file. How I can achieve that?

I succeeded in getting latex of ExpandSteps because it was a module, but ShowSolution() is not a module.

Hello friends,

I try to write a loop in Maple.

The equation is f (x) = x + 3

x is a variable and should be from 50 to 70 with dx = 5 can be used in the function, so that f (x) is to be determined.

How can I write such a loop?

Hello Maple


I am preparing for an examination in Calculus, but my worksheet in Maple 18 doesn't cooperate. 

A lot of my studypartners use Maple 16 and they have no problems. 


I meet the following error: 

- Error, (in solve) invalid input: hastype expects 2 arguments, but received 1


I'm totally sure, that I'm typing correctly, because I write just the same as my studypartners. 
So is it an error, which only is seen in Maple 18 and can I do anything to solve the problem?

Kind regards
Anders Kristensen

PS: I can't figure out how to add a picture

Hey!

I have this MATLAB script, but as I work in Maple, I'll need to translate it to Maple. 
I know how to define symbols and functions, but I don't know which Maple commands to use, of if it needs to be done in another way, so the problem is translating from " dZ = [dx; dy; ax; ay; dm];" and down.

Any help would truly be greatly appreciated! Thank you!  

This is the script:

function dZ = meteor_step(~, Z)

  P = 1.2; % initial atmospheric pressure
  H = 1.39E-4; % scale height of atm pressure
  E = 8.11131859E6; % evaporation energy
  D = 1; % drag constant
  G = 9.814; % acceleration due to gravity
  PM = 3.3E3; % density of the meteor
  
  S = 3.986E14; % standard gravitational parameter of Earth (G*M)
  R = 6.3674447E6; % radius of the Earth (meters)

  x = Z(1);  
  y = Z(2);
  dx = Z(3);
  dy = Z(4);
  m = Z(5);
  
  atm = P*exp(-y*H);

  v = sqrt(dx^2+dy^2);

  area = pi * ( (3*m)/(4*PM) )^(2/3);

  dist = sqrt(x^2+y^2);
  Gv = -9.8;

  accel = -(D*atm*area)/m*v;
  ax = accel * dx;
  ay = accel * dy + Gv;
  

  dm = -(atm*v^3*area)/(2*E);
  
  dZ = [dx; dy; ax; ay; dm];
  
end

[t, R] = ode45(@meteor_step, [0 250], [0, 100000, 100, -300, 25]);

x = R(:,1);
y = R(:,2);

dx = R(:,3);
dy = R(:,4);

v = (dx.^2+dy.^2).^(1/2);

m = R(:,5);

figure(1);
plot(t, y);
  title('Meteor Kinematics: Height vs Time');
  xlabel('Time elapsed (s)');
  ylabel('Height (m)');

figure(2);
plot(x, y);
  title('Meteor Kinematics: Horizontal vs Vertical Position');
  xlabel('Horizontal (m)');
  ylabel('Vertical (m)');

figure(3);
plot(t, v);
  title('Meteor Kinematics: Speed vs Time');
  xlabel('Time elapsed (s)');
  ylabel('Absolute speed (m/s)');

figure(4);
plot(t, m);
  title('Meteor Kinematics: Mass vs Time');
  xlabel('Time elapsed (s)');
  ylabel('Mass (kg)');

  
figure(5);
plot(t, dy);
  title('Vertical Velocity vs Time');
  xlabel('Time elapsed (s)');
  ylabel('Vertical velocity (m/s)');

temp = abs(y - 52900);
[~, index] = min(temp);
  
t(index)
dx(index)/1000
dy(index)/1000

Excuse me,

  I have the following input

***

fff:=x1^k;
int(fff,x1=0..x2);

***

I would like to obtain

1/(k+1)* (x2^(k+1)), k<>-1

but maple gives me just the same integral. Is there any way to get the expression?

Thank you!

I would be grateful if anyone would comment on the compatibility of Maple 18 and MacOS 10.10 (Yosemite).

I am trying to recreate journal work for validating using another computer program so I am trying to use maple to solve the ODE, based on further research I found using laplace might be the best but I am having some trouble.

eq8:=d*(n(t)+C(t))/drho = -rho(t)/(l*alpha*K_c)

given the initial conditions of:

ICs:= n(0) = n_0, rho(0) = rho_0, C(0) = (beta-rho_0)*n_0/(l*lambda)

therefore: 

equation9 := dsolve({equation8, ICs}, {C(t), n(t)}, method = laplace)

Following this process I get the error: 

Error, (in dsolve) invalid initial condition

According to the journal work the solution I am looking for is: 

C(t)=-n(t)+(rho_0^2+rho(t)^2)/(2*l*alpha*K_c)+((Beta+l*lambda-rho_0)*n_0)/(l*lambda)

is there something that I'm doing wrong or missing? 

Any help would be greatly Appreciated!
