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?

Hello all,

Suppose I have a vector valued function f (dimensions of vectors is 2). I can use fieldplot to show me the function's behaviour over some window.

I'd like to do the same thing, but I want to compact the space down to the unit circle. Basically, given a vector <x,y>, I'd like to "fieldplot" f(<x,y>) but with each arrow f(<x,y>) appearing at <x,y>/(1 + Norm(<x,y>,2)) instead of <x,y>.

Is this possible?

If I have the following system of first order diff eq's:

x'(t)=2x(t)+3y(t)

y(t)=-3x(t)-2y(t)

then can I consider the coefficient matrix A=<<2,-3>,<3,-2>> and compute the eigenvalues of A and infer as follows:

if the eigenvalues are of the same sign- eq point is a node

if they are of opposite signs- eq point is a saddle

if they are pure imaginary- eq point is a center

if they are complex conjugates- eq. point is a spiral

I've been given these conditions but my text says for a linear system of the form x'=Ax, the eigenvalues of A can be used to identify the nature of the eq. point. I am confused as to whether this applies to the given system as well; I have obtained 5 different trajectories and drawn the phase diagram for the system

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

Hi,

I'm an industrial engineering student who's running into problems with solving a simple system of non-linear equations.

Why do I get this error when issuing the solve command? I'm pretty sure I'm only passing two lists into the function?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Joshua

Hi!

Is there any way to remove the empty space that comes under images when printing the project, while using document mode?

I have a matrix A for which the basis of the left null space using NullSpace() is the empty set {}  while the column space is {e1,e2,e3}. By definition, we need every vector in col space . every vector in basis of left null space =0 but how would I show that in this case? Can I determine another basis for the left null space?

Can anyone coax Maple to solve this reccurence relation? It seems harmless enough but Maple is struggng a bit with "hypergeomsols."

f := c -> (2*n-c)*f(c-1) - (c-1)*n*f(c-2);

f(0) := 1;

f(1) := 2*n-1;

I've got the following matrix :

A:=[<a,a-1,-b>|<a-1,a,-b>,<b,b,2a-1>] where <> are the column elements of A, a is  a real number defined on [0,1] and b^2=2a(1-a) 

a) to show A is an orthogonal matrix, I understand that I need A.Transpose(A)=Identity(3*3) but is there a way in which I can let a take a random real numbered value between 0 and 1? The rand() only returns an integer within a range. Directly multiplying A and Transpose(A) will return an expression in a, so what's the right approach?

b) from a) we can infer that A is a matrix that describes a rotation in e1,e2,e3 where these are the standard bases vectors in R3. How can I determine the rotation axis? The hint I've been given says I need to consider the Eigenvalues and eigen vectors but I don't quite understand how.

I wish to use closed Newton-Cotes with n=2, also known as Simpson's Rule to numerically integrate an improper integral.

If it matters the integrand is (cos(2x))/(x^1/3), integrating between x=0..1

I've tried a few different (but similar) code but to no avail. Here is some stuff I've tried:

1.

with(Student[NumericalAnalysis]):

with(Student[Calculus 1]):

Simp1 := ApproximateInt(cos(2*x)/x^(1/3), x = 0 .. 1, method = newtoncotes[2]);

This gives me an output message that says "Float(infinity)".

2.

with(Student[NumericalAnalysis]):

with(Student[Calculus 1]):

Simp2 := int(exp(-x)/sqrt(1-x), x = 0 .. 1);

This doesn't have Simpson's rule as an option.

I think I'm on the right track with my first try, since I guess it wasn't tecnically an error message, but I'm not sure how to alter the code accordingly to get a numerical value instead. Thanks for any help.

1.   can not  define  equation  when not known  E

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!

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, so please tell if I need to set up the question in a different way :) I've tried to find an answer for this, but have struggled since our learning book is in danish, so the used terms may not be technically correct,

Anyways, how do you solve this problem in maple? 

Find the complete real solution for the differential equation system:

For the homogenous part I've found. (Is this correct?)

  , c1,c2 € R

I've tried to find an answer for the inhomogenous part but I get a really complicated result, so I doubt it's correct.

Thanks for the help :)

Hi, I'm a big noob in Maple, so may be the answer is very simple.

Thank you!!!
