TILU and Maxima; tables and copyrights



Moses' lookup table approach "ITALU" has some things
in common with what we did with TILU. However he never
got it beyond about 10 integrals or so, as I recall.

TILU would look at a product and find the most
complicated part and use that part as the primary
index. The other parts would be secondary indexes etc.
There are a number of subtle issues requiring that
a pattern be indexed in multiple ways, though.


If this pointer is to Moses' whole PhD dissertation,
that actually makes for some interesting reading.
