Hello,
Maple does not cancel out a variable.

Why is that?

Is there a way to solve this? 

(I pasted my code on the bottom of this message)

Thanks for your help/advice,

Stephan

restart:
M(x):=piecewise(x<=l,1/2*(q*x^2)/(EI)-3/8*(q*l*x)/(EI),l<x,1/2*(q*x^2)/(EI)-13/8*(q*l*x)/(EI)+5/4*(q*l^2)/(EI)):
M(x):=M(x)*(-EI);
# simplify() does not work.....?
M(x):=simplify(%) assuming EI>0;
# Wiht EI cancelled out by hand it schould look like:
M(x):=piecewise(x<=l,1/2*(q*x^2)-3/8*(q*l*x),l<x,1/2*(q*x^2)-13/8*(q*l*x)+5/4*(q*l^2));

EDIT 2: Ok, here is what I am trying to do with Maple.

I have the following expression:

with

and

 (j times)

Now the above expression should be zero. I get a set of equations in orders of lambda. The H matrices are known. I only need to find the S matrices.

Anyways, the HOffDiag is the sum above and the GetAdvCommutator0 is this nested commutator. And I need this sum evaluated up to order n (n is a given input-number) in lambda. The rest is really not that performance hungry.

EDIT: Ok, it realy seems that this sum of commutators is something that takes Maple forever. I have written a new MWE. Is it possible to speed things up? Maybe using assumptions or so?

Hi,

I know this question is really unspecific. However, since I am still new to Maple, and since you don't program with Maple as you would do with c++, I would appreciate some advise. I have written a program in Maple and I don't know if it works correctly. All I know is, it is pretty slow :(.

So if anyone of you could just have a short look at my attached worksheet and could tell me, if I at some point used an obvious "don't", I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers

How to include a derivative boundry condition in pde?

diff(u(1,t),x)=0. I got 0=0

Any advice?

Hi,

I want to conduct the t- test with a

- null hypothesis of : M1-M2 >= 0

- alternative hypothesis of M1-M2 < 0

I found that I can choose the upper or lower tail option for the alternative hypothesis but I am not sure if the same as I want 

any idea ?

Thanks

Hi all,

I have an expression of the form .

Is there a shorter way to obtain let's say the 5 lowest orders than  ?

Hi everyone!

I wrote simple program which fits experimental result. I know that experimental points should be fitted with this function — Te=exp(a*X+b), where "a" and "b" are parameters. "X" — vector of independent variable, "Te" — vector of dependent variable.

My question is: can maple estimate error of my fitting? I want to obtain "a±Δa" and "b±Δb".

My program: Profile.mw

P.S. Excuse me, for my english. It isn't my native language.

Der Group,

after updating to OS X Yosemite the License data of Maple 18 are invalid. What can I do?

Hi Maple friends.

If I have y=-x^2+9 and y=x+3, how can I find the area that is bounded by the functions? 

Easy enough to calculate by hand, but I need to use Maple to check my answers. Most preferably I'd like to use the Maple context menu to get the result, but any solution will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi again,

I am lost... again. I worked with the Physics package and have obtained my result in form of a lengthy equation of commutators of non-commuting objects. So basically my problem is solved, except that I now want to compute some examples to see, if everything is correct. For that purpose I want to replace now the non-commuting objects with explicit matrices, compute the result and see if it agrees with numerical studies. However, I have no clue which command to use, because if I try it with subs, then the multiplication is of the wrong type and Maple won't multiply my matrices. I tried to use eval but wasn't successful.

Here is an exampe to see what I mean.

Thank you for your time

The following MWE shows what I mean:

with(Physics):Setup(mathematical=true):

Setup(noncommutativeprefix={MX,MY,MZ});

test:=proc()

    local eq;

    eq:=-Commutator(MX,MY)-Commutator(MZ,MY);

    eq:=simplify(subs(MX=-MZ,eq));

    return eq;

end proc:

test();  # yields -[-MZ,MY] - [MZ,MY]

%  # yields 0

Any ideas how I can solve this? I would like to return the simplified version.

Hi guys

I have an if statement inside a function. This function then get's called in a sum. However, the result is not correct as the if statement checks wether the argument equals 0, but since the sum passes only the summation index name, it doesn't work as intended.

How can I tell Maple, that it has to evaluate the index before passing it on? MWE appended.

I have an integral that maple can not solve but I can solve it by hand. How can I add this to maple integration database?

f:=int(r^2*BesselJ(0,a*r)*BesselI(1,b*r),r)

Please see the file below.

Many many thanks! :)

Hi

How can I substitute a function in a matrix? This is what I tried but it's not working at all:

lign1:=x-y+2*z=1:
lign2:=(-2)*x+y+z=0:
lign3:=(-4)*x+y+7*z=2:
lign4:=3*x-2*y+z=1:
T := GenerateMatrix([lign1, lign2, lign3, lign4],[x, y, z], augmented);

Then I'd like to substitute another function with lign1:

lign5:=x+y+z=6:
T2:=subs(lign1=lign5, T);

But T2 = T and that wasn't really the point.

Sorry if the answer is obvious no amount of searching has helped me so far. I hope this question isn't too ridiculous.

Thanks

Here is the expression, I am trying to simplify, given a set of rules. NEW_Cole.mw

I have tried different substitutions, using simplify with side rules, applyrule, eval, subs, algsubs.

But none seem to be working as the way I want them to be.

Is there a better way?

Thanks!
