Maple 2019 includes a very large number of improvements that strengthen the math engine, increasing the number and type of problems that Maple can solve. In addition to the advancements in PDEs, limits, group theory, tensors, computational geometry, and other topics that are detailed elsewhere, there are also enhancements to fundamental routines that are commonly called on both by customers and by other Maple commands. These include:

  • The simplify command has undergone several improvements, in particular with regard to expressions containing piecewise functions.
  • Improvements to integration mean Maple 2019 can solve more integrals than previously.
  • The solve command in Maple 2019 has been improved, including enhancements when solving inequalities.
  • A new command, FindODE, in the DEtools package, tries to find a linear ordinary differential equation with polynomial coefficients for the given expression
  • The commands for performing Laplace, inverse Laplace, Fourier, and inverse Fourier transforms can handle a larger class of problems, and some classes of problems are handled faster than before.
  • A new algorithm for univariate polynomials has been added to the RootFinding:-Isolate command, which is particularly efficient for ill-conditioned problems and for finding high-accuracy solutions, and provides certified real root isolation for polynomials with irrational coefficients.
  • The residue command has a new optional argument that allows the user to specify the maximal order of the underlying series computations.
  • Rationalize works better on certain examples of nested radicals.
  • Expressions with nested calls to Re and Im now give improved results.
  • Expand, floor, and ceiling have more support for assumptions.

Maple 2019 includes significant improvements that further strengths Maple's world-leading ability in finding exact solutions to partial differential equations, including additional methods for solving new classes of problems, more flexibility in choosing the methods to try, and improved simplification of the results. Improvements have been made in the following areas:

  • PDE and boundary condition problems solved using linear change of variables
  • Specifying or excluding methods for solving
  • Series solutions for linear PDE and BC problems solved via product separation with eigenvalues that are the roots of algebraic expressions which cannot be inverted
  • Superposition method for linear PDE with more than one non-homogeneous BC
  • Polynomial solutions method
  • Solving more problems using the Laplace transform or the Fourier transform
  • Improvements to solving heat and wave PDEs, with or without a source
  • Improvements in series methods for Laplace PDE problems
  • Better simplification of answers
  • Linear differential operator: more solutions are now successfully computed
  • More problems in three variables are now solved

The limit command in Maple 2019 has been enhanced for the case of limits of quotients of multivariate functions. Many such limits that could not be determined previously are now computable. Improvements include handling functions that contain absolute values or radicals, support for functions in more than two variables, and returning ranges in the bivariate case.

The Root Finding package is a suite of advanced commands for finding roots numerically. The routines in this package augment the root-finding functionality provided by fsolve, especially with respect to finding several roots concurrently, so all improvements to the Root Finding package automatically result in improvements to fsolve.

Root Findings

The RootFinding:-Isolate command has been expanded so that it can isolate the roots of univariate polynomials with arbitrary real coefficients, not just rationals or floats. In particular, Isolate can now be used to find roots of polynomials with algebraic coefficients.

The new default algorithm of Isolate also features vastly improved performance for ill-conditioned polynomials with clustered roots. The root finding method eventually converges quadratically to regions containing roots, rather than just linearly. The same technique allows even more dramatic improvements for root finding requests with high accuracy even on well-conditioned problems.

Computational Geometry

Maple provides a state-of-the-art environment for algebraic computations in physics, with emphasis on ensuring that the computational experience is as natural as possible. Maple 2019 both consolidates the functionality introduced in previous releases, and provides significant enhancements that further strengthen its functionality, especially in quantum mechanics, tensor computations, and documentation.

Highlights from quantum mechanics include coherent states, tensor products of states, Taylor series of expressions involving anti-commutative variables and functions, and several improvements involving the normalization and simplification of expressions taking into account commutator and anti-commutator algebra rules.

Significant work was done in Maple 2019 to further strengthen, consolidate, and polish Maple’s support for tensor computations, making Maple unmatched in the field, covering classical and quantum mechanics, and special and general relativity. In addition, Maple supports natural tensor notation on both input and output, tight integration with the full Maple computation system, and extensive supporting documentation. In particular, A Complete Guide for Performing Tensor Computations using Physics is a new e-book included in Maple 2019. This guide covers tensors and their use in Euclidean spaces, special relativity, quantum mechanics, and classical field theory, as well as general relativity and transformations of coordinates on tensorial expressions.

In addition to the new tensor guide, Maple 2019 also includes a mini-course, Computer Algebra for Physicists, as well as a new Physics Updates page that consolidates and augments examples, presentations, relevant blog posts, and information from previous updates into a more convenient single page.

The Graph Theory package is a collection of routines for creating, drawing, and manipulating graphs, and for testing graphs for particular properties. New abilities in Maple 2019 include more constructions and properties tests, new special graphs, and many more options for customizing visualizations.

New in Maple 2019, you can find vertex covers, minimum vertex covers, Hamiltonian cycles, and Hamiltonian paths. You can also use greedy algorithms for finding large cliques and independent sets, perform tests to determine if a graph is strongly regular or triangle free, construct the transitive reduction of a graph, and create Barabási-Albert and Watts-Strogatz random graphs.

Eleven new special graphs or families of special graphs are now supported: Brinkman, Cameron, Circulant, Dürer, Friendship, Hall-Janko, Johnson, Livingstone, Suzuki, Sylvester, and Tietze.

Maple 2019 includes even more ways to customize graph display. For example, graphs look better at non-default sizes, arrows on directed edges use a solid triangle shape and their size and position can be customized, new vertex shapes are available, vertex borders will not overlap, the tree style can be used even if the graph is not a tree, and labels are replaced with pop-up annotations when the graph has many vertices so they are easier to read.

Computational geometry problems occur in many applications involving points in two- or higher-dimensional spaces, such as feature recognition, predicting vapor-liquid phase diagrams, delineating closely related regions for scattered data, and more. Maple’s Computational Geometry package, which applies computational methods to polygons and clouds of points, has been expanded in Maple 2019, with new tests of properties and computations abilities.

In particular, Maple 2019 includes efficient tests for determining point orientation, if a point lies in a circle or on a line segment defined by other points, if two line segments intersect, or if collections of line segments have intersections. You can also find the closest pair of points in a collection, and the DelaunayTriangulation command now supports computing triangularizations in dimensions up to 10.

For many commands, you have the option of displaying a graphical representation of the steps of the algorithm.

Graph Theory package
Maple 2019 enables you to include a wide variety of shapes in your plots, such as circles, squares, triangles, kites, darts, stars, super ellipses, and much more, simply by using the name of the polygon. In addition to the usual plotting options, such as colour and transparency, it also provides many shape-specific options for customization, including rounded corners, rotation, and irregularity. The ability to draw these shapes is very useful for adding annotations to other plots or building more complex 2-D visualizations. For example, it is used by Maple when drawing graphs to render custom vertex shapes.

An important addition to Maple’s interactive plotting tools is the extension of the Plot Builder to support animations. In Maple 2019, you can easily create and customize animations using a point-and-click interface, as well as commands.
