Janet
The Maple package Janet implements the involutive basis technique of V. P. Gerdt and Y. A. Blinkov for computing Janet bases and Janet-like Gröbner bases for linear systems of partial differential equations. It works with left modules over differential algebras defined over differential fields of characteristic zero which exist in Maple.
Janet also provides a number of tools for dealing with differential expressions and differential operators. A generic linearization for a non-linear system of partial differential equations can be computed. Some procedures translate differential expressions into jet notation and vice versa. For the Weyl algebra representing ordinary differential operators in characteristic zero whose coefficients are rational functions, an elementary divisor algorithm [Rehm 2001/2002], [Cohn 1985] is implemented to compute the Jacobson normal form of a matrix with entries in this Weyl algebra.
Among the orderings for differential monomials which are available in Janet are the degree reverse lexicographical one, the pure lexicographical one, block orderings and their extensions to the case of more than one dependent variable which correspond to "term over position" and "position over term" orderings in the polynomial case. Four involutive criteria are implemented to avoid unnecessary reductions during involutive basis computations.
For more details, cf. [Blinkov et al. 2003] and [Robertz 2007].

After downloading the Maple package, you can follow the installation guide below.
After installing Janet, it would be helpful if you could send us a short e-mail which explains for what purpose Janet is beneficial for you and which Maple version you use.
If you encounter any problem with Janet, don't hesitate to contact us.
Installing Janet
- Copy the Janet library files "Janet.ind", "Janet.lib" and the Janet help data base "Janet.hdb" for your Maple version (see download) into a directory called "Janet".
- Type
libname;
in Maple. - Write
libname := "the global path of the directory Janet", the result of step 2: - Try
with(Janet);
Moreover, help pages are available for the functions of Janet, see ?Janet.
If you encounter a problem, then most probably the definition of libname in step 3 is wrong in the sense that its value does not point to the correct directory where your library files reside.
A reasonable way to check your installation is to run some examples from the Janet help pages.
If you still have problems concerning the installation of Janet, please contact us.
