Converting expression into a number and evaluating function
I was trying to use a lagrange multiplier to find the local maxima of a simple function over the circle:
x,y,c = var('x y c')
f(x,y) = x**2 + y**2 - 1
g(x,y) = x+y
F = diff(f)
G = diff(g)
polys = [f]
for i in range(len(F)):
p = F[i] - c * G[i]
polys.append(p)
list_solutions = solve(polys,x,y,c)
for solution in list_solutions:
print solution
print f({x : solution[0] , y : solution[1]})
print '\n'
At 'print solution' i get the first extremum:
[x == 1/2*sqrt(2), y == 1/2*sqrt(2), c == sqrt(2)]
But at the 'print f({x : solution[0] , y : solution[1]})' line the following error occurs:
TypeError: no canonical coercion from <type 'dict'> to Callable function ring with arguments (x, y)
So i guess x == 1/2*sqrt(2) and the like can't be seem as numbers. I would like to be able to evaluate f(x,y) at the point, so what can i do? Also, the lagrange multiplier algorithm must be on Sage already, but Google gives me nothing. If you can show its command that would be a plus.
