Either my understanding of lquo/rquo (Category XFreeAlgebra) is wrong or there is a bug in the implementation of these functions in XDistributedPolynomial (XDPOLY).
p1:= 3*x*y*x*z --> 3 x y x z lquo(p1,3*x*y) --> 9 x z (expected: x z) I think that by "left simplification" is meant mult by a left inverse/recip, similiar as in group theory, although there is no leftRecip of 3*x*y in XDPOLY, of course. Am I off the track? Details below: -- Cat XFreeAlgebra (xpoly.spad, L28) -- lquo : (%, %) -> % -- ++ \spad{lquo(x, y)} returns the left simplification of \spad{x} by \spad{y}. -- -- https://github.com/fricas/fricas/blob/master/src/algebra/xpoly.spad -- lines 400-404 -- -- lquo(p : %, q : %) : % == -- +/ [t.c * r for t in q | (r := lquo(p, t.k)) ~= 0] -- -- rquo(p : %, q : %) : % == -- +/ [r * t.c for t in q | (r := rquo(p, t.k)) ~= 0] XDP:=XDPOLY(Symbol,Fraction Integer) -- [x,y,z]:=[s::XDP for s in [x,y,z]@List Symbol] -- p1:= 3*x*y*x*z --> 3 x y x z -- lquo(p1,x*y) --> 3 x z rquo(p1,x*z) --> 3 x y -- however lquo(p1,3*x*y) --> 9 x z (expected: x z) rquo(p1,2*x*z) --> 6 x y (expected: (3/2) x y) -- leftRecip(3)$XDP --> 1/3 )clear all XDP:=XDPOLY(Symbol,Expression Integer) [x,y,z]:=[s::XDP for s in [x,y,z]@List Symbol] a:EXPR INT p1:=a*x*y*x*z --> a x y x z -- lquo(p1,x*y) --> a x z rquo(p1,x*z) --> a x y lquo(p1,a*x*y) --> a^2 x z -- ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FriCAS - computer algebra system" group.
