Dear all, 

Would you let me know how to run a matrix differentiation?

restart;
with(LinearAlgebra):

with(VectorCalculus):

x:=<<x1>,<x2>>

W:=<<w11, w12>|<w21, w22>>
Cal:=Transpose(W.x).(W.x)

## Up to this point, there was no problem 

map(diff,Cal,x) ## Then, this operation caused an error

What I wanted to do is 

diff(VectorCalculus:-Norm(W.x)^2, x)

Thank you, 

In Kwon Park 

Would you help me to figure out how to solve this error?

totalsalesx := 60.1 + tax + profit

tax := 0.3*profit

profit := 0.1*totalsalesx

then, 'Error, recursive assignment'

What I want to do is to calculate the 'totalsalesx' from the cost (60.1). 

Hello all, 

I know this question is a little bit of stretch but is there any way to shuffle terms in an equation set, making those equations written in a standard form?

For example, here are three equations:

eq1:=(L1/n12 + n12*L2)*diff(i2(t), t) + L1*diff(i3(t), t)/n13 = -v1(t) - R1*i3(t)/n13 - R1*i2(t)/n12 + n12*v2(t) - n12*R2*i2(t);

eq2:=L1*diff(i2(t), t)/n12 + (L1/n13 + n13*L3)*diff(i3(t), t) = -v1(t) - R1*i3(t)/n13 - R1*i2(t)/n12 + n13*v3(t) - n13*R3*i3(t);

eq3:=-L2*diff(i2(t), t) + L1*diff(i1(t), t)/n12 = -v2(t) + R2*i2(t) + v1(t)/n12 - R1*i1(t)/n12;

In this equation set, it can be inferred that 'i1(t)', 'i2(t)' and 'i3(t)' would be the state variables and 'v1(t)', 'v2(t)' and 'v3(t)' are external input variables. 

Then, probably the set can be rewritten in the state space equation form, i.e., diff(X) = A*X + B*U, where X is the state variables vector and U is a vector of external input variables. 

Is there any chance to make Maple to rewrite the equations in this way?

Thank you in advance. 

Hello all, 

Would you teach me how to cancel a denominator term by multiplying the same term?

For example, I got this expression:

-L2*diff(i2(t), t) + L1*diff(i1(t), t)/n12

Then, I want to come to this expression by multiplying the expression with 'n12'

-L2*n12*diff(i2(t), t) + L1*diff(i1(t), t), 

But the result from my simple attempt was this:

(-L2*diff(i2(t), t) + L1*diff(i1(t), t)/n12)*n12

Thank you in advance!

Would you teach me how to collect and isolate specific terms in an equation?

For example, this is a given equation:

v1(t) - R1*(-i3(t)/n13 - i2(t)/n12) - L1*diff(-i3(t)/n13 - i2(t)/n12, t) = n12*(v2(t) - R2*i2(t) - L2*diff(i2(t), t))

From this equation, I wonder if there is a way to collect and isolate the derivative terms at the RHS, like this:

(- L1/n12+(n12 * L2))*diff(i2(t), t) + (L1/n13)*diff(i3(t), t) = -v1(t) + R1*(-i3(t)/n13 - i2(t)/n12) + n12*v2(t) - n12*R2*i2(t)

Thank you in advance!
