comment Test and demonstration file for the Taylor expansion package, by Rainer M. Schoepf. Works with version 1.8b (03-Sep-93); showtime; on errcont; % disable interruption on errors comment Simple Taylor expansion; xx := taylor (e**x, x, 0, 4); yy := taylor (e**y, y, 0, 4); comment Basic operations, i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are possible: this is not done automatically if the switch TAYLORAUTOCOMBINE is OFF. In this case it is necessary to use taylorcombine; taylorcombine (xx**2); taylorcombine (ws - xx); comment The result is again a Taylor kernel; if taylorseriesp ws then write "OK"; comment It is not possible to combine Taylor kernels that were expanded with respect to different variables; taylorcombine (xx**yy); comment But we can take the exponential or the logarithm of a Taylor kernel; taylorcombine (e**xx); taylorcombine log ws; comment A more complicated example; hugo := taylor(log(1/(1-x)),x,0,5); taylorcombine(exp(hugo/(1+hugo))); comment We may try to expand about another point; taylor (xx, x, 1, 2); comment Arc tangent is one of the functions this package knows of; xxa := taylorcombine atan ws; comment The trigonometric functions; taylor (tan x / x, x, 0, 2); taylorcombine sin ws; taylor (cot x / x, x, 0, 4); comment Expansion with respect to more than one kernel is possible; xy := taylor (e**(x+y), x, 0, 2, y, 0, 2); taylorcombine (ws**2); comment We take the inverse and convert back to REDUCE's standard representation; taylorcombine (1/ws); taylortostandard ws; comment Some examples of Taylor kernel divsion; xx1 := taylor (sin (x), x, 0, 4); taylorcombine (xx/xx1); taylorcombine (1/xx1); tt1 := taylor (exp (x), x, 0, 3); tt2 := taylor (sin (x), x, 0, 3); tt3 := taylor (1 + tt2, x, 0, 3); taylorcombine(tt1/tt2); taylorcombine(tt1/tt3); taylorcombine(tt2/tt1); taylorcombine(tt3/tt1); comment Here's what I call homogeneous expansion; xx := taylor (e**(x*y), {x,y}, 0, 2); xx1 := taylor (sin (x+y), {x,y}, 0, 2); xx2 := taylor (cos (x+y), {x,y}, 0, 2); temp := taylorcombine (xx/xx2); taylorcombine (ws*xx2); comment The following shows a principal difficulty: since xx1 is symmetric in x and y but has no constant term it is impossible to compute 1/xx1; taylorcombine (1/xx1); comment Substitution in Taylor expressions is possible; sub (x=z, xy); comment Expression dependency in substitution is detected; sub (x=y, xy); comment It is possible to replace a Taylor variable by a constant; sub (x=4, xy); sub (x=4, xx1); comment This package has three switches: TAYLORKEEPORIGINAL, TAYLORAUTOEXPAND, and TAYLORAUTOCOMBINE; on taylorkeeporiginal; temp := taylor (e**(x+y), x, 0, 5); taylorcombine (log (temp)); taylororiginal ws; taylorcombine (temp * e**x); on taylorautoexpand; taylorcombine ws; taylororiginal ws; taylorcombine (xx1 / x); on taylorautocombine; xx / xx2; ws * xx2; comment Another example that shows truncation if Taylor kernels of different expansion order are combined; comment First we increase the number of terms to be printed; taylorprintterms := all; p := taylor (x**2 + 2, x, 0, 10); p - x**2; p - taylor (x**2, x, 0, 5); taylor (p - x**2, x, 0, 6); off taylorautocombine; taylorcombine(p-x**2); taylorcombine(p - taylor(x**2,x,0,5)); comment Switch back to finite number of terms; taylorprintterms := 6; comment Some more examples; taylor ((1 + x)**n, x, 0, 3); taylor (e**(-a*t) * (1 + sin(t)), t, 0, 4); operator f; taylor (1 + f(t), t, 0, 3); clear f; taylor (sqrt(1 + a*x + sin(x)), x, 0, 3); taylorcombine (ws**2); taylor (sqrt(1 + x), x, 0, 5); taylor ((cos(x) - sec(x))^3, x, 0, 5); taylor ((cos(x) - sec(x))^-3, x, 0, 5); taylor (sqrt(1 - k^2*sin(x)^2), x, 0, 6); taylor (sin(x + y), x, 0, 3, y, 0, 3); taylor (e^x - 1 - x,x,0,6); taylorcombine sqrt ws; comment A more complicated example contributed by Stan Kameny; zz2 := (z*(z-2*pi*i)*(z-pi*i/2)^2)/(sinh z-i); dz2 := df(zz2,z); z0 := pi*i/2; taylor(dz2,z,z0,6); comment A problem are non-analytic terms: there are no precautions taken to detect or handle them; taylor (sqrt (x), x, 0, 2); taylor (e**(1/x), x, 0, 2); comment Even worse: you can substitute a non analytical kernel; sub (y = sqrt (x), yy); comment Expansion about infinity is possible in principle...; taylor (e**(1/x), x, infinity, 5); xi := taylor (sin (1/x), x, infinity, 5); y1 := taylor(x/(x-1), x, infinity, 3); z := df(y1, x); comment ...but far from being perfect; taylor (1 / sin (x), x, infinity, 5); clear z; comment The template of a Taylor kernel can be extracted; taylortemplate yy; taylortemplate xxa; taylortemplate xi; taylortemplate xy; taylortemplate xx1; comment Here is a slightly less trivial example; exp := (sin (x) * sin (y) / (x * y))**2; taylor (exp, x, 0, 1, y, 0, 1); taylor (exp, x, 0, 2, y, 0, 2); tt := taylor (exp, {x,y}, 0, 2); comment An example that uses factorization; on factor; ff := y**5 - 1; zz := sub (y = taylor(e**x, x, 0, 3), ff); on exp; zz; comment A simple example of Taylor kernel differentiation; hugo := taylor(e^x,x,0,5); df(hugo^2,x); comment The following shows the (limited) capabilities to integrate Taylor kernels. Only a toplevel Taylor kernel is supported, in all other cases a warning is printed and the Taylor kernels are converted to standard representation; zz := taylor (sin x, x, 0, 5); ww := taylor (cos y, y, 0, 5); int (zz, x); int (ww, x); int (zz + ww, x); comment And here we present Taylor series reversion. We start with the example given by Knuth for the algorithm; taylor (t - t**2, t, 0, 5); taylorrevert (ws, t, x); tan!-series := taylor (tan x, x, 0, 5); taylorrevert (tan!-series, x, y); atan!-series:=taylor (atan y, y, 0, 5); tmp := taylor (e**x, x, 0, 5); taylorrevert (tmp, x, y); taylor (log y, y, 1, 5); comment The following example calculates the perturbation expansion of the root x = 20 of the following polynomial in terms of EPS, in ROUNDED mode; poly := for r := 1 : 20 product (x - r); on rounded; tpoly := taylor (poly, x, 20, 4); taylorrevert (tpoly, x, eps); comment Some more examples using rounded mode; taylor(sin x/x,x,0,4); taylor(sin x,x,pi/2,4); taylor(tan x,x,pi/2,4); off rounded; comment An example that involves computing limits of type 0/0 if expansion is done via differentiation; taylor(sqrt((e^x - 1)/x),x,0,15); comment Examples involving non-analytical terms; taylor(log(e^x-1),x,0,5); taylor(e^(1/x)*(e^x-1),x,0,5); taylor(log(x)*x^10,x,0,5); taylor(log(x)*x^10,x,0,11); taylor(log(x-a)/((a-b)*(a-c)) + log(2(x-b))/((b-c)*(b-a)) + log(x-c)/((c-a)*(c-b)),x,infinity,2); ss := (sqrt(x^(2/5) +1) - x^(1/3)-1)/x^(1/3); taylor(exp ss,x,0,2); taylor(exp sub(x=x^15,ss),x,0,2); comment In the following we demonstrate the possibiblity to compute the expansion of a function which is given by a simple first order differential equation: the function myexp(x) is exp(-x^2); operator myexp,myerf; let {df(myexp(~x),~x) => -2*x*myexp(x), myexp(0) => 1, df(myerf(~x),~x) => 2/sqrt(pi)*myexp(x), myerf(0) => 0}; taylor(myexp(x),x,0,5);

problem posed by Prof. Stanley: we prove that the finite difference expression below corresponds to the given derivative expression; operator diff,a,f,gg; % We use gg to avoid conflict with high energy % physics operator. let diff(~f,~arg) => df(f,arg); derivative_expression := diff(a(x,y)*diff(gg(x,y),x)*diff(gg(x,y),y)*diff(f(x,y),y),x) +
