The Wirtinger derivatives d/dz, d/dzbar are yes implemented in Maple. It is one of the Physics:-Setup settings (input Setup(); and you see it there in the applet). Your point about diff/abs, however, is another thing. I will take a look.

I somehow missed your reply 5 years ago (!) Attached is the worksheet showing current output, it works fine with all daggered operators to the left, and SortProducts performing the operation as requested; this command got reworked significantly during the last 3 years.

dharr is right. See also the help page for ODESolStruc

Without debating anything of what you are saying, I only want to point out two relevant things about debugging that you may not be aware of.

One is the MapleCloud Emacs package. It provides terrific additional debugging capabilities, using Emacs, right, not the GUI you talk about, but still a very significant step ahead concerning the default DEBUG window you mentioned.

Two: in addition to stopat(some_procedure), input debug(some_procedure), and put the DEBUG window side by side with the Maple worksheet window before starting the computation to be debugged. When the computation starts, you will see what you see in the DEBUG window and also the computation evolving one step at a time and with full typesetting. If you happen to have the code behind, in addition, input kernelopts(tracelineinfo = 2) to see the line numbers.

I only debug using "Two", and if the debugging activity is heavier, always use "One".

The error message is incorrect, but the expectation is a bit too. You are not showing the answer; it is in parametric form, parameter _T. There is no y(x) as you say. There is only x(_T) and y(_T). This is not a standard "implicit" solution. To test, you'd need to isolate _T in one of the equations then substitute into the other one - say to obtain a solution involving y(x). Or, differentiate both with respect to _T and somehow manage to use that to remove _T to obtain dy/dx, and from there, see if it reduces ode. Although possible, none of that is implemented.

PS: busy until the end of January.

Sorry about that. End of the year, 8,000 RPM non-stop, reading too fast .. All the best @Preben Alsholm , @Carl Love, @mmcdara, @nm !

There is still the alpha123 (large numbers) of intermediate indices appearing in the output, most of them can be changed by single greek letter indices. It is not a wrong thing, but it is something that makes readability more difficult. I will give a look at how to improve that.

I see a lot of good ideas around; here is my version, similar to those presented. (It follows an image, at the end is the worksheet linked.)

Good catch, a different problem this function of no arguments C(); it is fixed in v.895, thanks.

It makes sense to me to only implement existing notation. I have not seen "\arcsin^2 x" as you say. For reference, see this wiki page about the subject. That said, I am inclined to remove 'mixed' and maybe keep 'computer' as default. Quoting what for me are the two related key points in that wiki page,

• To distinguish exponentiation from function composition, the common usage is to write the exponential exponent after the parenthesis enclosing the argument of the function; that is, f(x)^3 means (f(x))^3, and f(x)^(–1) means 1/f(x). 
• For historical reasons, and because of the ambiguity resulting from not enclosing arguments with parentheses, a superscript after a function name "applied specifically to the trigonometric and hyperbolic functions" has a deviating meaning: a positive exponent applied to the function's abbreviation means that the result is raised to that power, while an exponent of −1 still denotes the inverse function​​​​​​​.

Me again, the first item is the same as saying that () has higher precedence than ^, as it is, in fact, the case in computer algebra systems. There is more on that page, but I feel the above is the essence and is what you see implemented in (Physics:-)Latex, to replace latex. The first item for computer notation and the second item (as you see it described, no parenthesis in "sin^2 x") as textbooknotation. The current value mixed reflects more my dislike of interpreting the n in "sin^n" as power while the -1 in "sin^(-1)" as composition (for inverse function), but it is tradition, and we people speak with that.

@Carl Love 

Yes, but I suppose @nm used LinearAlgebra just to generate the structures (Vector and Matrix), and that is what Latex receives and translates; the translation is performed regardless of whether a package is loaded (unless the package - itself - specifies LaTeX-translation rules, as, e.g. DifferentialGeometry does, but not the case of LinearAlgebra).

That said, I also have the impression that some people think LinearAlgebra is needed to input a Vector or Matrix, and your comment helps clarifying that; likewise people frequently load PDEtools before using pdsolve, which is also unnecessary.

If you re-execute the worksheet, re-evaluation happens and everything changes again. So no, this approach does not keep the output and equation label in place after re-evaluation. It would be good if some attribute could be attached to that block of output to keep it in place ... Perhaps something to implement in the Maple GUI in future releases.

OK, in v.884 we have sqrt(x)*a -> \sqrt{x} \, a, so with a space after sqrt and also a new keyword: Latex:-Settings(spaceaftersqrt = true); set it to false and no \, is inserted after \sqrt{x}.

By the way, the current default values of these Settings are what seems more appropriate (say, to me), but opinions are welcome. At this moment we have:

The default values of useinputlineprompt (true in a worksheet, false in a document) and useimaginaryunit (the value of interface(imaginaryunit)) are according to the status of things when you first execute Latex. The prompt appears when File -> Export -> LaTeX on a worksheet, but also if you pass the optional argument thisisinput to Latex.

All the other ones are conventional, and I am inclined to change to powersoftrigonometricfunctions = computernotation (will become maplenotation in the next version probably tomorrow) and am in doubt about usecolor = false. 

Opinions about these defaults and suggestions for new relevant settings are welcome.
