That may or may not be a weakness, but it can hardly be “wrong.”       There's a lot of code available, for example, for Bessel functions of       integer or half-integer order, which is not “wrong” either.              > But to be able to run Mupad, I have to have the same number of       > tests for each CAS. I'd like to remove these 6 integrals              You could always use some wrapper function in your input files that       avoids the error and will fail to integrate:              polyLog := (n,x) -> if testtype(n,DOM_INT) then        polylog(n,x)        else        procname(args())        end_if:                     HTH,              Christopher              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
