Maxima Function
substinpart (x, expr, n_1, ..., n_k)
Similar to substpart
, but substinpart
works on the
internal representation of expr.
Examples:
(%i1) x . 'diff (f(x), x, 2); 2 d (%o1) x . (--- (f(x))) 2 dx (%i2) substinpart (d^2, %, 2); 2 (%o2) x . d (%i3) substinpart (f1, f[1](x + 1), 0); (%o3) f1(x + 1)
If the last argument to a part function is a list of indices then several subexpressions are picked out, each one corresponding to an index of the list. Thus
(%i1) part (x + y + z, [1, 3]); (%o1) z + x
piece
holds the value of the last expression selected when using the
part functions. It is set during the execution of the function and
thus may be referred to in the function itself as shown below.
If partswitch
is set to true
then end
is returned when a
selected part of an expression doesn't exist, otherwise an error
message is given.
(%i1) expr: 27*y^3 + 54*x*y^2 + 36*x^2*y + y + 8*x^3 + x + 1; 3 2 2 3 (%o1) 27 y + 54 x y + 36 x y + y + 8 x + x + 1 (%i2) part (expr, 2, [1, 3]); 2 (%o2) 54 y (%i3) sqrt (piece/54); (%o3) abs(y) (%i4) substpart (factor (piece), expr, [1, 2, 3, 5]); 3 (%o4) (3 y + 2 x) + y + x + 1 (%i5) expr: 1/x + y/x - 1/z; 1 y 1 (%o5) - - + - + - z x x (%i6) substpart (xthru (piece), expr, [2, 3]); y + 1 1 (%o6) ----- - - x z
Also, setting the option inflag
to true
and calling part
or substpart
is
the same as calling inpart
or substinpart
.
