linalg(deprecated)

 vector
 create a vector

 Calling Sequence vector([x1, ..., xn]) vector(n, [x1, ..., xn]) vector(n) vector(n, f)

Parameters

 x[1], ..., x[n] - vector elements of type algebraic n - length of the vector f - function used to create the vector elements

Description

 • Important: The linalg package has been deprecated. Use the superseding command, Vector, instead.
 - For information on migrating linalg code to the new packages, see examples/LinearAlgebraMigration.
 • The vector function is part of the linalg package. It provides a simplified syntax for creating vectors. For a general description of vectors in Maple, see the information under vector.
 • The calls vector([x1, ..., xn]) and vector(n, [x1, ..., xn]) will produce a vector (a one-dimensional array) of length n containing the given elements.
 • The call vector(n) will produce a vector of length n with unspecified elements.
 • The call vector(n, f) will produce a vector of length n whose elements are the result of the function f acting on the index of the vector. Thus vector(n, f) is equivalent to vector(1..n, [f(1), f(2), ..., f(n)]).
 • Since vectors are represented as one-dimensional arrays, see information under array for further details about how to work with vectors.
 • The command with(linalg,vector) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
 Note:  The online documentation in Maple uses the convention that vector (lowercase "v") refers to an array-based vector used by routines in the linalg package, and Vector (uppercase "V") refers to an rtable-based Vector used by routines in the LinearAlgebra package. See LA_general for more information about linear algebra computations in Maple.
