Original Issue Report

(1) -> digamma 2

$\label{eq1}digamma \left({2}\right)$

(1)

Type: Expression(Integer)

Has to return digamma(2) (EXPR INT)

Analysis

The statement of the issue is to terse and vague to be sure what the author had in mind, but assuming that s/he expected the result to be of type EXPR INT, here is how to see what is going on. Use the option )set message selection on to trace how Axiom finds the signature of the appropriate digamma function:

digamma 2

 Function Selection for digamma
      Arguments: PI

      implemented: slot (Complex (Float))(Complex (Float)) from FSFUN

$\label{eq2}digamma \left({2}\right)$

(2)

Type: Expression(Integer)

Axiom finds 3 possible signatures and applies the first one because 2 can be coerced to DoubleFloat?. But we can ask Axiom to take the third option by either specifically treating the type of the input 2 as EXPR INT or by asking for something of type EXPR INT as the result.

Type: Expression(Integer)

Of course as something of type EXPR INT this expression has no simplier representation.

this works as documented --Bill Page, Wed, 23 Mar 2005 16:17:27 -0600 reply

Status: open => rejected

Sorry to respond to this but in Axiom, all trigonometric, transcendental etc.. functions is returned in EXPR INT if there is no integer functions. I think that Axiom has to return digamma(2) and digamma(2.0) the SF result. This permit to work directly on expression. You can test some other symbolic CAS.But may be I'm wrong.

PLEASE RESPOND and THANK YOU --Bill Page, Wed, 23 Mar 2005 18:06:05 -0600 reply

Please do not be "sorry to respond" - that is the purpose of this website!

By the way, I think it would be polite (but it is not necessary) for you identify yourself by clicking on preferences rather than remaining anonymous.

What I think you mean is this: Why is the mode selection for the following pairs of expressions different?

Since sin is defined in DoubleFloat? and digamma is defined in DoubleFloatSpecialFunctions? one should expect similar treatment.

Treating special functions like Expression Integer --Bill Page, Wed, 23 Mar 2005 20:06:31 -0600 reply

Apparently the difference has something to do with the fact that DoubleFloat? is a domain while DoubleFloatSpecialFunctions? is a package. It is possible to obtain some of the effectst that you want by dropping the DoubleFloatSpecialFunctions? from the list of exposed constructors.

Icomplete gamma function is missing --unknown, Thu, 24 Mar 2005 11:16:59 -0600 reply

In DoubleFloatSpecialFunctions?, incomplete gamma function is missing. If someone implements it, it's possible to add SpecialFunctionCategory? to the "Exports" of DoubleFloat? (add all these functions... => I don't know why gamma is actually exported by DoubleFloat?), unexpose DoubleFloatSpecialFunctions? and may be SpecialFunction?(Integer) will work as requested. The actual behavior is really annoying
