[MUG] differental operators
Author: Richard Patterson    Posted: Tue, 11 Feb 2003 10:26:00 -0500

>> From: Richard Patterson />
I want to define differential operators and test them on
a polynomial f(x,y):

f:=(x,y)->a*x^2+b*x*y+d*y^2;
2 2
f := (x, y) -> a x + b x y + d y

If the differential operator has constant coefficients

> op1:=2*D[1]+3*D[2];

op1 := 2 D[1] + 3 D[2]

then everything works fine:

> op1(f)(x,y);

4 a x + 2 b y + 3 b x + 6 d y

How do I accomplish the same thing if the coefficients are
unspecified constants?

> op2:=c*D[1]+d*D[2];

op2 := c D[1] + d D[2]

> op2(f)(x,y);

c(f)(x, y) (2 a x + b y) + d(f)(x, y) (b x + 2 d y)

It was no help to include

> assume(c,constant): assume(d,constant):

> op2(f)(x,y);
c~(f)(x, y) (2 a x + b y) + d~(f)(x, y) (b x + 2 d~ y)

The simplest reliable solution that I found for your problem is to define
`c` and `d` to be constant functions:


> f:=(x,y)->a*x^2+b*x*y+d*y^2;

2 2
f := (x, y) -> a x + b x y + d y

> op2:=c*D[1]+d*D[2];

op2 := c D[1] + d D[2]

> op2(f)(x,y);

c(f)(x, y) (2 a x + b y) + d(f)(x, y) (b x + 2 d y)

> c := (f::anything) -> c;

c := f::anything -> c

> d := (f::anything) -> d;

d := f::anything -> d

> op2(f)(x,y);

c (2 a x + b y) + d (b x + 2 d y)


If you like, you can assign numerical values to `c` and `d` afterwards:


> c := 2: d := 3: op2(f)(x,y);

4 a x + 2 b y + 3 b x + 18 y


With best wishes,

Fred Chapman

Well, you may use an extension to evalapply() as shown below.

1

1

u(f), v(f)

> u(f)(x,y),v(f)(x,y);

u(f)(x, y), v(f)(x, y)

> ConstOperator:=proc() op(0,args[1]) end proc:
> `evalapply/u`:=eval(ConstOperator):

false, false

> u(f),v(f);

u(f), v(f)

> u(f)(x,y),v(f)(x,y);

u, v <===!!!===

> f:=(x,y)->a*x^2+b*x*y+c*y^2;

2 2
f := (x, y) -> a x + b x y + c y

> op1:=2*D[1]+3*D[2];

op1 := 2 D[1] + 3 D[2]

> op1(f)(x,y);

4 a x + 2 b y + 3 b x + 6 c y

> op2:=u*D[1]+v*D[2];

op2 := u D[1] + v D[2]

> op2(f)(x,y);

u (2 a x + b y) + v (b x + 2 c y)

> eval(%,{u=2,v=3});

4 a x + 2 b y + 3 b x + 6 c y


Kind regards,

Helmut

You need to make the coefficients operators at the same level as the D's.
Numbers are automatically operators, but names are not.

Maple is treating c and d as mappings, so one solution is explicitly to
define them to be constant mappings, i.e. mappings that evaluate to their
own names when they are applied, regardless of their arguments. This is
essentially what Maple does automatically for numbers, which is why your
explicit example worked.

> c := proc() 'procname' end proc;

c := proc() 'procname' end proc

> d := eval(c);

d := proc() 'procname' end proc

> op2(f)(x,y);

c (2 a x + b y) + d (b x + 2 d y)

Please CC all articles to the mailing-list. If that is unacceptable to
you, then this is my last article on this subject. Let others benefit

Worse than that, it affects the coefficients. Here is how to get it to
returned the modified polynomial without any side effects:

Change:= (f, V)->
unapply(subsindets(f(V[]), name, N-> `if`(N in V, N, unapply(N))), V[])
;

And the call becomes
F:= change(f, [x,y]);

I chose to use a different name, F, but you re-use f if you want.
It is best not to rely on there being 2 variables, so I pass in the
variable names. We can get around that if you insist on not passing in
the variable names.

The above uses the Maple 8 feature `in`. You can retrofit it to Maple 7
by using member. susbindets is a feature of Maple 7. We can go back
further than that if you need.

diff works on them, but there is a bug that prevents D from working on
them. The coefficient functions are changed to simply t. This affects at
least Maple 6 and Maple 8.

Product Reviews

"Without the Maple software, we would have to spend weeks generating the equations of motion for every experiment. Then the chances that we did it right would basically be near zero. There would always be a mistake somewhere. It is very difficult to set up a dynamic motion model by hand."
- Jean-Claude PiedBeouf, Ph.D Manager of Robotics, Canadian Space Agency

"Its very good - highly accurate and easy to use. The speed of Maple allows me to change equations and quickly reintegrate them into the application, so more possibilities can be explored to achieve the precise effect desired."
Shawn Neely, Senior R & D Director for PDI/Dreamworks
