I can solve an equation using Maxima by using the commands below.
kill(all);
A:A; phase:phase; solve(A*cos(2*pi*f*t+phase)=y,phase);
And it gives me the correct answer.
phase=acos(y/A)-2*f*pi*t
But when I try and solve for just the top portion of an equation the x(n+1) portion. Here's the equation.
See website Clifford Attractor.
It's not what I expected. The equation I use is below:
kill(all);
x:x; a:a; c:c; n:n; solve(sin(a*y(n))+c*cos(a*x(n))=x*(n+1),x);
What I get is :
x=(sin(a*y(n))+c*cos(a*x(n)))/(n+1)
I expected it to be something like:
x[n] = sin(a*y[n-1])+c*cos(a*x[n-1]);
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
I'm using wxMaxima 18.02.0 in ubuntu 18.04 64bit
