gcfac
is a factoring function that attempts to apply the same heuristics which
scientists apply in trying to make expressions simpler. gcfac
is limited
to monomial-type factoring. For a sum, gcfac
does the following:
Item (3) does not necessarily do an optimal job of pairwise factoring because of the combinatorially-difficult nature of finding which of all possible rearrangements of the pairs yields the most compact pair-factored result.
load ("scifac")
loads this function.
demo ("scifac")
shows a demonstration of this function.
