Transforms the expression expr by giving each summation and product a
unique index. This gives changevar
greater precision when it is working
with summations or products. The form of the unique index is
jnumber
. The quantity number is determined by referring to
gensumnum
, which can be changed by the user. For example,
gensumnum:0$
resets it.
Categories: Sums and products
Represents the sum of expr for each element x in L.
A noun form 'lsum
is returned if the argument L does not evaluate
to a list.
Examples:
(%i1) lsum (x^i, i, [1, 2, 7]); 7 2 (%o1) x + x + x (%i2) lsum (i^2, i, rootsof (x^3 - 1, x));
==== \ 2 (%o2) > i / ==== 3 i in rootsof(x - 1, x)
Categories: Sums and products
Moves multiplicative factors outside a summation to inside.
If the index is used in the
outside expression, then the function tries to find a reasonable
index, the same as it does for sumcontract
. This is essentially the
reverse idea of the outative
property of summations, but note that it
does not remove this property, it only bypasses it.
In some cases, a scanmap (multthru, expr)
may be necessary before
the intosum
.

When simpproduct
is true
, the result of a product
is simplified.
This simplification may sometimes be able to produce a closed form. If
simpproduct
is false
or if the quoted form 'product
is used, the
value is a product noun form which is a representation of the pi notation used
in mathematics.
Categories: Sums and products Simplification flags and variables
Represents a product of the values of expr as
the index i varies from i_0 to i_1.
The noun form 'product
is displayed as an uppercase letter pi.
product
evaluates expr and lower and upper limits i_0 and
i_1, product
quotes (does not evaluate) the index i.
If the upper and lower limits differ by an integer, expr is evaluated for each value of the index i, and the result is an explicit product.
Otherwise, the range of the index is indefinite.
Some rules are applied to simplify the product.
When the global variable simpproduct
is true
, additional rules
are applied. In some cases, simplification yields a result which is not a
product; otherwise, the result is a noun form 'product
.
Examples:
(%i1) product (x + i*(i+1)/2, i, 1, 4); (%o1) (x + 1) (x + 3) (x + 6) (x + 10) (%i2) product (i^2, i, 1, 7); (%o2) 25401600 (%i3) product (a[i], i, 1, 7); (%o3) a a a a a a a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (%i4) product (a(i), i, 1, 7); (%o4) a(1) a(2) a(3) a(4) a(5) a(6) a(7) (%i5) product (a(i), i, 1, n); n /===\ ! !

When simpsum
is true
, the result of a sum
is simplified.
This simplification may sometimes be able to produce a closed form. If

Categories: Sums and products Simplification flags and variables
Represents a summation of the values of expr as
the index i varies from i_0 to i_1.
The noun form 'sum
is displayed as an uppercase letter sigma.
sum
evaluates its summand expr and lower and upper limits i_0
and i_1, sum
quotes (does not evaluate) the index i.
If the upper and lower limits differ by an integer, the summand expr is evaluated for each value of the summation index i, and the result is an explicit sum.
Otherwise, the range of the index is indefinite.
Some rules are applied to simplify the summation.
When the global variable simpsum
is true
, additional rules are
applied. In some cases, simplification yields a result which is not a
summation; otherwise, the result is a noun form 'sum
.
When the evflag
(evaluation flag) cauchysum
is true
,
a product of summations is expressed as a Cauchy product,
in which the index of the inner summation is a function of the
index of the outer one, rather than varying independently.
The global variable genindex
is the alphabetic prefix used to generate
the next index of summation, when an automatically generated index is needed.
gensumnum
is the numeric suffix used to generate the next index of
summation, when an automatically generated index is needed.
When gensumnum
is false
, an automatically-generated index is only
genindex
with no numeric suffix.

Combines all sums of an addition that have
upper and lower bounds that differ by constants. The result is an
expression containing one summation for each set of such summations
added to all appropriate extra terms that had to be extracted to form
this sum. sumcontract
combines all compatible sums and uses one of
the indices from one of the sums if it can, and then try to form a
reasonable index if it cannot use any supplied.
It may be necessary to do an intosum (expr)

Maxima contains functions taylor
and powerseries
for finding the
series of differentiable functions. It also has tools such as nusum
capable of finding the closed form of some series. Operations such as addition
and multiplication work as usual on series. This section presents the global
variables which control the expansion.

Default value: false
When multiplying together sums with inf
as their upper limit,
if sumexpand
is true
and cauchysum
is true
then the Cauchy product will be used rather than the usual
product.
In the Cauchy product the index of the inner summation is a
function of the index of the outer one rather than varying
independently.
Example:
(%i1) sumexpand: false$ (%i2) cauchysum: false$

For each function f_i of one variable x_i,
deftaylor
defines expr_i as the Taylor series about zero.
expr_i is typically a polynomial in x_i or a summation;
more general expressions are accepted by deftaylor
without complaint.
powerseries (f_i(x_i), x_i, 0)
returns the series defined by deftaylor
.
deftaylor
returns a list of the functions f_1, …, f_n.
deftaylor

Renames the indices of sums and products in expr. niceindices
attempts to rename each index to the value of niceindicespref[1]
, unless
that name appears in the summand or multiplicand, in which case
niceindices
tries the succeeding elements of niceindicespref
in
turn, until an unused variable is found. If the entire list is exhausted,
additional indices are constructed by appending integers to the value of
niceindicespref[1]
, e.g., i0
, i1
, i2
, …
niceindices
returns an expression.
niceindices
evaluates its argument.

niceindicespref
is the list from which niceindices
takes the names of indices for sums and products.
The elements of niceindicespref
are typically names of variables,
although that is not enforced by niceindices
.

Carries out indefinite hypergeometric summation of expr with respect to x using a decision procedure due to R.W. Gosper. expr and the result must be expressible as products of integer powers, factorials, binomials, and rational functions.
The terms "definite"
and "indefinite summation" are used analogously to "definite" and
"indefinite integration".
To sum indefinitely means to give a symbolic result
for the sum over intervals of variable length, not just e.g. 0 to
inf. Thus, since there is no formula for the general partial sum of
the binomial series, nusum
can’t do it.
nusum
and unsum
know a little about sums and differences of
finite products. See also unsum
.

(%i1) nusum (n*n!, n, 0, n); Dependent equations eliminated: (1) (%o1) (n + 1)! - 1 (%i2) nusum (n^4*4^n/binomial(2*n,n), n, 0, n); 4 3 2 n 2 (n + 1) (63 n + 112 n + 18 n - 22 n + 3) 4 2 (%o2) ------------------------------------------------ - ------ 693 binomial(2 n, n) 3 11 7 (%i3) unsum (%, n); 4 n n 4 (%o3) ---------------- binomial(2 n, n) (%i4) unsum (prod (i^2, i, 1, n), n); n - 1 /===\ ! ! 2 (%o4) ( ! ! i ) (n - 1) (n + 1) ! ! i = 1 (%i5) nusum (%, n, 1, n); Dependent equations eliminated: (2 3) n /===\ ! ! 2 (%o5) ! ! i - 1 ! ! i = 1

Returns a list of all rational functions which have the given Taylor series expansion where the sum of the degrees of the numerator and the denominator is less than or equal to the truncation level of the power series, i.e. are "best" approximants, and which additionally satisfy the specified degree bounds.
taylor_series is a univariate Taylor series. numer_deg_bound and denom_deg_bound are positive integers specifying degree bounds on the numerator and denominator.
taylor_series can also be a Laurent series, and the degree
bounds can be inf
which causes all rational functions whose total
degree is less than or equal to the length of the power series to be
returned. Total degree is defined as numer_deg_bound +
denom_deg_bound
.
Length of a power series is defined as
"truncation level" + 1 - min(0, "order of series")

disturb the expansion process. However, this scheme is not always
mathematically correct since it ignores branch information.
When taylor_logexpand
is set to false
, then the only expansion of
logarithms that occur is that necessary to obtain a formal power series.

(CRE) form. The effect is the same as rat (ratdisrep (expr))
, but
faster.
Categories: Power series Rational expressions
Annotates the internal representation of the general expression expr so that it is displayed as if its sums were truncated Taylor series. expr is not otherwise modified.
Example:

Converts a into a Poisson encoding.
Categories: Poisson series
Converts a from Poisson encoding to general representation. If a is
not in Poisson form, outofpois
carries out the conversion,
i.e., the return value is outofpois (intopois (a))
.
This function is thus a canonical simplifier
for sums of powers of sine and cosine terms of a particular type.
Categories: Poisson series
Differentiates a with respect to b. b must occur only in the trig arguments or only in the coefficients.
Categories: Poisson series
Functionally identical to intopois (a^b)
.
b must be a positive integer.
Categories: Poisson series
Integrates in a similarly restricted sense (to poisdiff
). Non-periodic
terms in b are dropped if b is in the trig arguments.
Categories: Poisson series
Default value: 5
poislim
determines the domain of the coefficients in
the arguments of the trig functions. The initial value of 5
corresponds to the interval [-2^(5-1)+1,2^(5-1)], or [-15,16], but it
can be set to [-2^(n-1)+1, 2^(n-1)].
Categories: Poisson series
will map the functions sinfn on the sine terms and cosfn on the cosine terms of the Poisson series given. sinfn and cosfn are functions of two arguments which are a coefficient and a trigonometric part of a term in series respectively.
Categories: Poisson series
Is functionally identical to intopois (a + b)
.
Categories: Poisson series
Converts a into a Poisson series for a in general representation.
Categories: Poisson series
The symbol /P/
follows the line label of Poisson series
expressions.
Categories: Poisson series
Substitutes a for b in c. c is a Poisson series.
(1) Where B is a variable u, v, w, x, y,
or z, then a must be an expression linear in those variables (e.g.,
6*u + 4*v
).
(2) Where b is other than those variables, then a must also be free of those variables, and furthermore, free of sines or cosines.
poissubst (a, b, c, d, n)
is a special type
of substitution which operates on a and b as in type (1) above, but
where d is a Poisson series, expands cos(d)
and
sin(d)
to order n so as to provide the result of substituting
a + d
for b in c. The idea is that d is an
expansion in terms of a small parameter. For example,
poissubst (u, v, cos(v), %e, 3)
yields
cos(u)*(1 - %e^2/2) - sin(u)*(%e - %e^3/6)
.
Categories: Poisson series
Is functionally identical to intopois (a*b)
.
Categories: Poisson series
is a reserved function name which (if the user has defined
it) gets applied during Poisson multiplication. It is a predicate
function of 6 arguments which are the coefficients of the u, v, ..., z
in a term. Terms for which poistrim
is true
(for the coefficients of
that term) are eliminated during multiplication.
Categories: Poisson series
Prints a Poisson series in a readable format. In common
with outofpois
, it will convert a into a Poisson encoding first, if
necessary.
