FunctionExpand

Usage

FunctionExpand[expr] 试图展开expr中的特殊的和特定的其他函数,可能时化简复合自变量为更简单的自变量。
FunctionExpand[expr, assum] 使用假设展开。


Notes

FunctionExpand 使用大的规则集。
FunctionExpand 应用到一定的三角函数和特殊函数。
FunctionExpand自动由FullSimplify调用。
FunctionExpand中的假设可以如同在Simplify中那样指定。
• 例如: FunctionExpand[expr, x  Reals] 假设是一个实数进行展开.
• 参见 Mathematica 全书: 3.2.13节.
• 实现注释: 参见 A.9.5节.
Further Examples

Here is an elementary simplification.

In[1]:=  

Out[1]=

The incomplete gamma function with an integer as the first argument can be expressed in terms of exponentials.

In[2]:=  

Out[2]=

The next few examples yield results that still contain special functions but are considered simpler by Mathematica because the arguments of the resulting special functions are simpler.

In[3]:=  

Out[3]=

In[4]:=  

Out[4]=

In[5]:=  

Out[5]=

FunctionExpand acts like PowerExpand when appropriate.

In[6]:=  

Out[6]=

Here FunctionExpand refrains from distributing the exponent, since  and  are not always equal.

In[7]:=  

Out[7]=

In[8]:=  

Out[8]=

In[9]:=  

Out[9]=

A common use of FunctionExpand is to simplify trigonometric expressions involving integer or half-integer multiples of the arc.

In[10]:=  

Out[10]=

In[11]:=  

Out[11]=

Many functions can be expressed in terms of gamma functions.

In[12]:=  

Out[12]=

This can be convenient in checking identities.

In[13]:=  

Out[13]=

Here are some other examples in which FunctionExpand expresses exotic or specialized functions in terms of more familiar or more fundamental ones.

In[14]:=  

Out[14]=

In[15]:=  

Out[15]=

In[16]:=  

Out[16]=

Using Assumptions

If a, b, c are integers, you can pull out a common factor from GCD.

In[17]:=  

Out[17]=

This assumes n is an integer greater than  .

In[18]:=  

Out[18]=

This assumes p and q are distinct primes.

In[19]:=  

Out[19]=
