Can Maxima recognize a known vector in a vector expression and give a simplified display output in terms of the Name of the known vector?
So, for example, in the Maxima Session represented in the attached image, I would like Maxima to recognize "F.v1" as a scalar multiplied by a known vector " v1" and to display the result as "(2*alpha +1)*v1""
Thank you very much for your help,
