System of differential equations in Maple

In summary, the conversation is about solving a system of differential equations using the Maple 13 software. The equations involve the variables m1, m2, m3, and m4, and are solved by setting specific values for the independent variable t. The conversation also includes a code example for solving the equations and obtaining the values for the variables. This information may be helpful for anyone looking to solve similar problems.

Hi everybody.

I'm using the Maple 13 software (in linux mint) to solve system compounded by the four below differential equations:

> ode1 := (diff(m1(t), t)) = - m1(t) + (1/2)*tanh( m2(t) + m4(t) + cos(t) );
> ode2 := (diff(m2(t), t)) = - m2(t) + (1/2)*tanh( m1(t) + cos(t) );
> ode3 := (diff(m3(t), t)) = - m3(t) + (1/2)*tanh( m4(t) + cos(t) );
> ode4 := (diff(m4(t), t)) = - m4(t) + (1/2)*tanh( m3(t) + m1(t) + cos(t) );Anyone knows how can I plot the "m1", "m2", "m3" and "m4" by the independent variable "t" ??

Hi guys.

I found a way to solve the above problem. I didn't immediately plot the graphs, but I obtained the values of each greatness "mi(t)" through specific values of parametric variable "t". Below an example for t=0.8.

[t = 0.8, m1(t) = 0.225131111929745192, m2(t) = 0.211465317954931536, m3(t) = 0.211465317954931536, m4(t) = 0.225131111929745192]I expect this topic may be helpful.
