I have a system of differential equations in Maxima. And I am trying to draw the solutions.
diff_eq1: 'diff(p(t),t) = (5/2 + (3^(1/2))/24 - (5/8)*p(t) - ((3^(1/2))/24)*q(t)) * p(t);
diff_eq2: 'diff(q(t),t) = (7/8 + (3*(3^(1/2))/2) - (3*(3^(1/2))/8)*p(t) - (7/8)*q(t)) * q(t);
atvalue (p(t), t=0, 0.25);
atvalue (q(t), t=0, 3);
sol: desolve([diff_eq1, diff_eq2], [p(t),q(t)]);
plot2d([rhs(sol[1]), rhs(sol[2])], [t,0,5]);
But I have an error:
plot2d: expression evaluates to non-numeric value everywhere in plotting range.
plot2d: expression evaluates to non-numeric value everywhere in plotting range.
plot2d: nothing to plot.
It seems maxima has not found the solution. However you can use Runge-Kutta method to get numerical result.
