Hello,

I want to define an orthonormal tetrad basis of my choice in a spacetime having a metric given in some system of coordinates. My problem is that Maple automatically proposes an orthonormal metric but this is not the one that suits my requirements. So, I would like to specify the tetrad basis manually. As an example, I am trying to reproduce the calculations in sections 6 and 7 of the article https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0510083 . Here, the metric $g$ is given by the line element $ds^2 = - (c(t,r)^2 - v(t,r)^2) dt^2 + 2 v(t,r) dr dt + dr^2 + r^2 (d\theta^2 + sin(\theta)^2 d\phi^2)$ in $(t, r, \theta, \phi)$ coordinates. My chosen signature is (- + + +). Let, us adopt the convention used by Maple and denote spacetime indices by Greek alphabets and tetrad indices by lowercase Latin letters. Now, I would like to define a tetrad $e_a = (V, S, \Theta, \Phi)$ (as in section 7 of the article referred to above) where:

V^\mu = \frac{1}{c\sqrt{1-\beta(t,r)^2}}[1, - (v + c \beta), 0, 0] \\

S^\mu = \frac{1}{c\sqrt{1-\beta^2}}[-\beta, c + v \beta, 0, 0] \\

\Theta^\mu = [0,0,1,0]

\Phi^\mu = [0,0,0,1].

Here, $|\beta(t,r)| < 1$. I do not know how I may specify this in my worksheet. This may come of use somewhere later. Now, with this choice of the tetrad, we know that $g(e_a, e_b) = \eta_{ab}$ with $\eta$ being the Minkowski metric in spherical coordinates. After defining this tetrad basis, I finally want to calculate Einstein tensor, components of energy-momentum tensr etc. I have problem with constructing this orthonormal tetrad basis myself. It would be great if you could help me with this.

An additional curiosity: when we work with multiple tetrad bases, is it possible to denote the the tetrad indices by hatted tetrad labels themselves, as in $\eta_{\hat V, \hat \Theta}$?

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I am trying to determine the first 5 eigen frequencies of a bending beam with rotational and translational spring supports. This is done by setting the determinant of the coefficient matrix equal to zero. I use RootFInder -> Analytic to find the first 5 roots between 0.001 and 0.1. After I substitute the roots back in to the equation they do not give me a zero value.

Can someone see where this goes wrong?

A triangle ABC with fixed B and C vertex is considered in the plane, A being variable so that b+c remains constant and equal to a given length L.
We call P, T, T' the points of contact of the exinscrit circle in the angle B with the sides BC, AB and AC respectively.
Show that P is fixed and is one of the vertex of the ellipse described by point A. What are the locus of T and T'? How to animate the drawing when A move ? Thank you.

In the plane, an ABC triangle is considered for the vertices B and C are fixed, A being variable so that b +c remains constant and equal to a given length l. (b=distance(A,C), (c=distance(A,B)
How to show that the product tan(B/2=*tan(C/2) remains constant ?

Good day to all.

I have a data set consisting of 12 points in the x-y plane. These points form a periodic pattern and I was wondering if it is possible to obtain a curve that is a best-fit for these points. I have reason to expect that this pattern will repeat for successive points (i.e. points 13, 14, ..., 30).

Does anyone know of a way to obtain a function that can represent this behavior?

Thanks for reading!

Whoever designed Maple's user-interface thinks very differently from me. How can I insert a 2nd section into Chapter 1? There's no space between the end of Section 1 and the end of Chapter 1 for me to put the cursor, so where should I put the cursor, and what should I do?

What do I need to do to the "2 + 3" in the attached Document in order to make it evaluate? I know about F5 to switch between Text and Math modes, but that's not enough to get me where I want to be. The "2 + 3" is already in Math mode, but that's not enough to get it to evaluate.

R2,R3,R4,R5 have been given,I try to solve the following ode equation: The initial value:r2(0)=r3(0)=r4(0)=r5#(0);system={diff(r2(theta),theta)=R2;diff(r3(theta),theta)=2*R2*U2+R3;diff(r4(theta),theta)=R2*(U2^2+2*U3)+3*R3*U2+R4;diff(r5(theta),theta)=2*R2*(U2*U3+U4)+3*R3*(U2^2+U3)+4*R4*U2+R5}.I want to get the exact solution of subs(theta=2*Pi,U5),But it just gives the form include _Z1,_Z_2,_Z3.How can I get exact value?

how to draw and calculate the angle of a dihedral of a regular tetrahedron ? Thank you.

Hi everyone...

How can anyone help me in the attached file? I want to know how the equation of the system turned into a dimensionless

dynamical system?

Dear friends, please I would like to ask for your help with an odd problem I have using the remove command. 

I have an array 

A:=Array([1,4,1,7]);

and I need to remove its first element A[1]. 

A:= remove[flatten](x -> x = A[1], A);

Instead of getting the result  A:= [4 1 7] I get  A:=[4 7], and I can't understand why. 

Could you please help me with a solution to the problem? Many thanks for the help.  

Dear house 

I am new to maple and will really appreciate some assistance in calculating the disease free , endemic equilibrium states and basic reproduction number for my model.

I have been trying for weeks. any asistance will be much appreciated

So I have an equation that basically takes the component of vectors to be used as an equation. The variables that I after are FB1z, FB2x, and FB3y For example here is my equation: 

EOM1:=(AFB1[1]+AFB2[1]+AFB3[1])=TEOM[1]

EOM2:=(AFB1[2]+AFB2[2]+AFB3[2])=TEOM[2]

EOM3:=(AFB1[3]+AFB2[3]+AFB3[3])-TEOM[3]:

FBBp1:=FBPP1=(EulP1[1]+EulP2[1]+EulP3[1]):
FBBp2:=FBPP2=(EulP1[2]+EulP2[2]+EulP3[2]):
FBBp3:=FBPP3=(EulP1[3]+EulP2[3]+EulP3[3]):

However there are unknown variable in AFB2[1] named FB2x and AFB3[1] named FB3y. Then AFB1[2] has unknown equation named FB1z and AFB3[2] has FB3y and so on. While in my FBBp1,FBBp2,and FBBp3 holds all of the variable of FB1z, FB2x, and FB3x
I have tried to use 'solve' command to find the variable but my computer won't stop processing it:
sls:=solve({EOM1,EOM2,EOM3,FBBp1,FBBp2,FBBp3},{FB1z,FB2x,FB3y}):

I tried to use the Gauss-Elimination by forming a matrix but it doesn't work as well since I am really confused how to take out the variables out of the vector component.

zzz:=Matrix([0,AFB2[1],AFB3[1],jjj[1]],[AFB1[2],0,AFB3[2],jjj[2]],[AFB1[3],AFB2[3],0,jjj[3]],[FBP1[1],FBP2[1],FBP3[1],EulP[1]],[FBP1[2],FBP2[2],FBP3[2],EulP[2]],[FBP1[3],FBP2[3],FBP3[3],EulP[3]]):
GaussElimination:=(zzz)

I would be very grateful If someone could help me. Thankyou
