This window deals with the drawing of the Greatest Common Factor
between the two polynomials which compose the Polynomial Differential System. These
points will constitute one (or several) continuous set(s) of singular points
and their existence will modify the behaviour of the flow.
-
The Option Set will
toggle between whether you get the line of singularities drawn as a sequence
of dots or a set of dashes which link all these dots. Normally you will
not see the difference between them unless you make a zoom.
-
The integer input will denote the number of
unconditionally computed data points. As many points as you ask, the program
will run slower but you will get greater exactitude.
You may check a REDUCE/MAPLE manual for more information.
-
The integer input will define the maximum
error that we are going to allow, understood as the negative exponent of a power
of ten.
-
The integer input will
denote the amount of memory (in kilobytes) that we are willing to allow the computer to
use for this task.
-
The button will start the draw of the
Greatest Common Factor in the Plot window.
This may take a bit, even with a trivial Greatest Common Factor.
So you must wait until you see the green line(s) drawn.
For evaluation, P4 uses Maple/Reduce. You can view the output of Maple/Reduce in the
Output window.
Note: It is not possible to remove the curve of singular points once it has been drawn.
