Question: Multi-dimensional matrices/arrays

Hi there,

I was trying to simulate the behaviour of a one-variable, discrete-time function having three parameters.

The function reads

M[n+1]=(b·theta^(m)·R[n])/(theta^(m)+R[n]^m)

defined for b, theta, m > 0

Say I want to simulate the function for the following values

b := [seq(1 .. 10, 1)];
theta := [seq(1 .. 5, 1)];
m := [seq(1 .. 2, 1)];

for n from 1 to 10.

 

I guess I need to build a 4-dimension array. But I was not able to find the right way to do this: should I use the Array strucutre? and if yes, how would I do it? As far as I've read, indexing would be an issue: should I create special indexing functions?

If I'm not wrong Maple matrices (Matrix) are just 2D.

 

Once the values of M computed, I would like to generate the corresponding plots, varying one parameter while the other two are fixed, and drawing the different M's in the same plot.

How can I achieve this?

Furthermore, if I would like to generate all possible combinations, I guess I would need to insert the solution given to the above question within a for loop. Will Maple display all plots or will it overlap/overwrite the preceding plot if used within a loop?

 

Thanks,

jon
