I don't understand. Why should integrate(1/(x^8-1),x) and integrate(8*sqrt(2)/(x^8-1),x) be so different? If you want to get 'rootSum', you probably will get complex result. On the other hand, in "x^4 + r", if we know that "r" is a quartic, then no more extra roots will be introduced, I think. Just compare current result and following reuslt. (1) -> integrate(a/(x^8-1),x) (1) +-+ 2 +-+ +-+ - a log(x\|2 + x + 1) - a\|2 log(x + 1) + a\|2 log(x - 1) + +-+ 2 +-+ +-+ a log(- x\|2 + x + 1) - 2a atan(x\|2 + 1) - 2a atan(x\|2 - 1) + +-+ - 2a\|2 atan(x) / +-+ 8\|2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
