I have a maple worksheet (attached) that calculates a 2-D convolution. Should be easy, I would guess. The convolution of a gaussian and a gaussian is very fast-- this has a simple analytical result anyway. A gaussian and a sinc function can take a couple of minutes... and a gaussian and a bessel function takes longer than I can allow! I think I must be missing something here. I've tried various things, interchanging "int" and "Int" for the integration, and also seting digits to something low, by using evalf[4]. Sometimes it just maxes out all available memory before grinding to a halt, in other trials it will allocate about 300 MB and churn for hours. The worksheet is attached. I'd appreciate the advice.

Do any of you have any graphics software suggestions for adding lines, text, etc. in EPS plots generated by Maple? I have have mainly only used Photoshop for editing plots while working with LaTex, but I have increasely become dissatisfied with the results. Any suggestions? Thanks, Phil

> procA :=
proc ()
print ("Hello");
2;
end proc:
> procB :=
proc ()
local i;
i := procA();
end proc:
> procA ();
"Hello"
2
> procB();
"Hello"
2

The main that I want to get is:
if it was executed procA, it should show "Hello" text and the 2 number, but if it was executed procB, it should show only the 2 number, it shouldn`t show "Hello" text.
What can I do to get this special result in procB?

Hi to All! This is a true top secret story from Ph Dr S.Arlou When I was a callow youth at my first year at the university I was very proud of my high rate in general course of physics. Besides I was rather good at mathematics as I was able to add fractions and find derivative of functions. I had only one thing lift to study – mechanics of materials. To my greatest disappointment I couldn’t manage with my test work on mechanics of materials after twenty attempts! The only consolation I found in the team of the same unfortunate students. It seemed to me that a student with an excellent knowledge of physics had to understand mechanics of materials. Its roots according to my brilliant conjecture™ are hidden exceptionally in physics. What’s the matter? Years passed… More years passed… Some more time passed. All the time I tried to find the answer to my question, how mechanics of materials should be taught so that a child would be able to understand it, at least in general. During these hard meditations I had to be involved into absolutely useless things: post graduation studies, presentation of Ph.D. thesis, teaching at technical university, marriage at last. But Maple with its analytical potential burst into my life as a tornado. The answer came with a lightning speed. Mechanics of materials is short of the power of the power of analytical computing. We need as much of it as our head or laptop can contain. In one word I invented Mechanics of Materials™ only to converge teaching of mechanics of materials to discussions about weather, magazine Forbes ratings and so on… or discussing scientific problems which are far beyond from our standard mechanics of materials curriculum. My congratulations to all students on the occasion of a new academic year! Details

Hi,

I am trying to ease my c coding work with the "CodeGeneration" tool in maple. The Idea to generate ready to use functions is quite thrilling.
In my attempts to generate code I entontert two problems.
First it seems to be impossible to assign local vectors to vectors passed in the argument list:

> MapX := proc (X\_out::Vector(2), X\_in::Vector(2), PRO2RO::Vector(2))
> local X\_t :: Vector(2,0), i;
> X\_t[1] := PRO2RO[1];
> X\_t[2] := PRO2RO[2]*10;
> X\_out := X\_in + X\_t;
> return;
> end proc;

here the assignment X\_out := X\_in + X\_t; is not recognized.

Hi, is it possible to define a variable for example "x" upon which it depends whether an execution group in a worksheet will be excecuted when clicking on !!! (Execute whole worksheet) or not? Illustration of the idea: x:=1; if x=1 then execute execution group else do nothing end if; I am thankful about any ideas!

I have an expression, lets say x^2+ y*z^2+y^3 and I want to divide it with x*y and I want the output to be x/y+z^2/x+y^2/z How do I do this?

Can anyone tell me why "type" answers "false" and why do I get an error message, from the following simple code sequence (Maple 10)?

Thanks

testp := proc(m)
if m = 0 then 0
elif 0 < m then 1
elif m < 0 then -1
end if

Hello, I'm a complete Newbie. The first thing I did was to take the "10 Minute Tour" which is accessed through the help file. One of the things this tour has you do is to create an animated plot, which I did. However, the doc says "Clicking on the plot enables the animation toolbar.". Well, I click on the plot and my cursor turns into a curvey arrow, which let's me twist the plot around, but I don't get any animation toolbar. Could someone tell me exactly where and how to click to bring up the animation toolbar. The doc also mention an "animation slider". How do I get that? -Thank

#1 Typically, on plots, removable discontinuities are represented by a small cicle at the discontinuity. How can such an object (i.e. the circle) be generated, preferrably automatically, by Maple at these points. #2 Also, if, for example, the signum function is plotted (i.e. a step discontinuity at x=0). How is an open circle plotted at (0,-1) and a closed circle plotted at (0,1)? Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I asked yesterday a question in the newbies section. I have found a partial answer which I detail further down but still have some questions and errors. I hope someone can give me a hand. Thanks. The question is more or less the following: Given the parameter k. One declares a nested list like the following: L[n[1],n[2],...n[k],m[1],m[2],.... m[k] ], where all 'n' and 'm' indexes run in the interval: n[i] =0,1,.. ,d-1 m[i] =0,1,.. ,d-1 QUESTION: How can we translate this list into a square matrix of dimension d^k that has the indexes:

Hi I need to find out the index of a dae, is there a maple command that does this for me?

Hello everyone, I am trying to create a procedure to translate a matrix into a nested list. (in Maple 10) I actually want to transform the matrix A[i,j] whose indexes are in the interval i,j=1,2,... d^k in a list: L[n1,n2,...,n2k] whose indexes are in the intarval n1,n2,...n2k = 0,1,2...,d. For instance, a transformation of indexes could be: for i from 0 to d do for j from 0 to d do for k from 0 to d do for l from 0 to d do L[i, j, k, l] := DM*([1+(sum(d^(i-1)*n[i], i = 1 .. k)), 1+(sum(d^(i-1-k)*n[i], i = k .. 2*k))]) od: od: od: od: But I would actually like to indtroduce k and d as parameters of the procedure. My problem is then how to say:

#1 Typically, on plots, removable discontinuities are represented by a small cicle at the discontinuity. How can such an object (i.e. the circle) be generated, preferrably automatically, by Maple at these points. #2 Also, if, for example, the signum function is plotted (i.e. a step discontinuity at x=0).

Hi.

I am trying to debug a small piece of code I've written.

I have a procedure for solving some quite complex equations. For single points in space.

I have a procedure that:

has some quantities passed to it,
brings in a 2 by 80
Does a for loop for each of the rows in the data, to take the first col value, and puts that along with the vars passed to it into the first procedure. It then works out the difference between the value given by the first procedure and the second col. Squares this and adds it to the total.

I'd like to use the NPLSolve minimize function to minimise this total squared sum of differences, by passing differnt values to the second function.
