Dear list,
I am using the factor command to get a nice expression for a
certain s-dimensional function, for example with s=3 i can have:
(%i10) factor(f_periodized(x))
(%o10)
4 2 4 2 4 2
(6 x - 12 x + 6 x + 1) (6 x - 12 x + 6 x + 1) (6 x - 12 x + 6 x + 1)
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
8
This output is already very nice, but it would even be nicer if Maxima could
'discover' that the polynomials in x[1], x[2] and x[3] are in fact all three
the same, and write the output as
3 4 2
/===\ 6 x - 12 x + 6 x + 1
! ! i i i
(%o1) ! ! -----------------------
! ! 2
i = 1
Is this possible with Maxima and if 'yes', how do i do it?
Thanks,
Bart
