dcfun 0.0.0 (January 2024)
The package is provided as a compressed archive file
For an easier installation, the package is provided as
the Maple archive
The source of the package is provided under
You will find help pages for the exported procedures of the package in the
documentation part of the web site.
You also will find there tutorials to guide you
through your first steps in using dcfun.
For an offline read of the documentation,
you can use your favorite browser to open the file
The help pages are frozen Jupyter notebooks. If, in addition to
Maple, Jupyter is installed on your desktop / laptop
(see Jupyter),
then the Jupyter notebooks are accessible
in the directory
In the help pages in notebook format, we have defined the path for accessing
Maple as follows
Some of the computations related to the solving of Riccati Mahler
equations need the use of the computer algebra system
Singular.
(We resort to Singular
as Maple does not provide the user with an absolute prime decomposition of
a polynomial ideal.)
You can test that Singular is seen from Maple with the Maple command
I warmly thank
Frédéric Chyzak
for his constant support in this project,
Bruno Salvy
for his enlightened advice, and
Marc Mezzarobba
for his help in setting up the link with Singular.
Download
dcfun.tar.gz.
Downloading and uncompressing it somewhere in your home directory,
results in a directory dcfun.
dcfun.mla.
Put it where you want,
and if dcfun_path is that location, set the variable
libname
so that Maple knows how to find dcfun,
by libname := "dcfun_path", libname;.
If all works well, the Maple command
dcfun:-version();
will answer the version number (as a matter of fact a string) above.
dcfun/src/.
Help
dcfun/index.html, which gives you the help available on the
documentation page.
Jupyter
dcfun/nb/.
You will need to install Maple as a kernel
(see
Kernels for Jupyter).
Note that the translation from notebooks to html pages
is not perfect
and the results of the computations are not always displayed well.
libname := libname, FileTools:-JoinPath(["maple","lib","dcfun.mla"],base=homedir):
dcfun.mla
in the directory <your homedir>/maple/lib/,
or to cleverly modify the string
FileTools:-JoinPath(["maple","lib","dcfun.mla"],base=homedir)
in all notebook files.
Singular
ssystem("which Singular");.
See the help pages of
LMOpSolve and
RiccatiSolve
for more details about the use of Singular by the package.
