ExcludedForms

ExcludedForms
is an option for FullSimplify which can be set to a list of patterns for expressions that should not be touched if they are encountered at intermediate steps in the operation of FullSimplify.

MORE INFORMATION

The default setting for ExcludedForms is {}.

A setting such as Gamma[_] will cause FullSimplify to treat gamma functions as elementary objects which should not be transformed.

Basic Examples (2)

This gives no simplification:

Excluding transformations of (x-2)^10 allows you to expand the remaining terms:

This gives a result in terms of Arg[x]:

This specifies that Log[x] should not be transformed:
