Errors appear at start / period cross-over points of a triangular wave
on t-axis with period a, amplitude b. Why does not
Plot[ D[fn[t,3,4],t] / D[fn[t,5,5.65],t] , {t, 0,tmax}] ; Or
Plot[ D[fn[t,3,4],t] , {t, 0,tmax}] ;
work at beginning when the same works erroneously later on in sl1 and
gets self-corrected at sl2? And how to remedy the situation? TIA
a= 4 ; b = 3 ; tmax=10;
fn[u_,lam_,A_]=A*ArcSin[Sin[ 2 Pi u/lam]]*2/Pi ;
Plot[ fn[t,a,b], {t, 0,tmax}] ;
Plot[ D[fn[t,a,b],t] / D[fn[t,c,d],t] , {t, 0,tmax}] ;
sl1=D[fn[t,a,b],t]/D[fn[t,c,d] ] ; Plot[ sl1 , {t, 0, tmax}] ;
sl2= D[fn[t,a,b],t]/D[fn[t,c,d],t] ; Plot [sl2, {t, 0, tmax}] ;
