Okay, it turns out that there are a few problems here.

  • When one solves a single Expression, all args are passed to Expression.solve() which means s_1 goes to multiplicities, and so we are getting multiplicities with the trailing [] and [1].
  • If one does this with three variables, then solution_dict is also True and we get the dict.
  • Then there is the complex/real issue, which I haven't delved into.

We should fix this all so that the solutions make sense and are consistent.

    1920Most of these do make sense, but you'll notice the change from complex to real variables, one place that seems to have a multiplicity, and the one with only a dictionary as output!
