--- Begin Message ---Package: maxima Version: 5.9.0-10 Severity: normal When trying to do some complicated Taylor series expansions, maxima hangs; I believe it is in an infinite loop, as xload shows the cpu saturated. An example is: f(x):= asin(sqrt(1-x^2)/(1+eps)); taylor(f(x),x,0,2); which produces this condition. While trying to isolate the bug, I tried: g(x):=asin(sqrt(1-x^2)); taylor(g(x),x,0,2); which produces the error message: "Taylor encountered an unfamiliar singularity in ABS(X)" I am unable to find any documentation on this "unfamiliar singularity" error message. However, from looking at the second derivative of G(x), I think I can see what's causing the problem: the sqrt() in the above expression is symmetrical about x=0, but has a cusp there. However, this ought to cause taylor() to produce an error message in the first example, instead of looping; this is not very user-friendly. What's the difference between a familiar singularity and an unfamiliar one, anyway? -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Kernel Version: Linux aty786 2.4.18-1-k7 #1 Sat Jun 7 00:31:02 EST 2003 i686 unknown Versions of the packages maxima depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-11.5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libgmp3 4.0.1-3 Multiprecision arithmetic library ii libncurses5 5.2.20020112a- Shared libraries for terminal handling ii libreadline4 4.2a-5 GNU readline and history libraries, run-time ii tk8.3 8.3.3-8 The Tk toolkit for TCL and X11 v8.3 - Run-Ti ii tk8.0 8.0.5-9 The Tk toolkit for TCL and X11 v8.0 - Run-Ti ^^^ (Provides virtual package wish)
