Can FlexPDE handle NESTED parameterized definitions? I am using the antique version 2.22c, and it appears that it cannot, at least in the form I want. That form is basically this: a function F is defined by a parameterized definition statement, like say F(n,x) = if n=0 then 1 else if n=1 then x else if n=2 then 3*x^2+5 else ... , followed by a second parameterized definition C(n) = bintegral(F(n,x), 'path name') . The F definition is OK -- I can plot correct elevations of F -- , and the right-hand side of the C definition is OK too in the sense that statements like "report bintegral(F(2,x), 'path name')" give the correct numbers. But "report C(2)" or any other valid value for the argument gives zero. I can send a little illustrating script if you'd like. | |||

Post a script and we will try it on version 6. A lot has changed since version 2. | |||

Thanks for your attention, Dr. Nelson. Here's a script.

It appears that the BINTEGRAL breaks the parameter passing mechanism. I was not aware of this problem, so it is not fixed even in version 6. I will look into it. Thanks for reporting this problem. |
