Description (last modified by )
The result of expansion of a 2F1
expression using simplify_hypergeometric
differs from computing the numeric directly:
sage: hypergeometric((1/5, 4/5), (6/5,), 1/10*sqrt(5)*(sqrt(5) - 1)) hypergeometric((1/5, 4/5), (6/5,), 1/10*sqrt(5)*(sqrt(5) - 1)) sage: _.n() 1.04296605906833 sage: hypergeometric((1/5, 4/5), (6/5,), 1/10*sqrt(5)*(sqrt(5) - 1)) hypergeometric((1/5, 4/5), (6/5,), 1/10*sqrt(5)*(sqrt(5) - 1)) sage: _.simplify_hypergeometric() 0
Inside maxima:
maxima: hgfred([1/5, 4/5], [6/5], 1/10*sqrt(5)*(sqrt(5) - 1)); ((1-(sqrt(5)-1)/(2*sqrt(5)))^(1/10)*assoc_legendre_p(-4/5,-1/5,1-(sqrt(5)-1)/sqrt(5))*gamma(1/5))/(5*((sqrt(5)-1)/(2*sqrt(5)))^(1/10))

Hijacking ticket to prevent waste. Quite a similar error, this time for real.

This is an issue in conversion from maxima:
sage: maxima('((1-(sqrt(5)-1)/(2*sqrt(5)))^(1/10)*assoc_legendre_p(-4/5,-1/5,1-( ....: sqrt(5)-1)/sqrt(5))*gamma(1/5))/(5*((sqrt(5)-1)/(2*sqrt(5)))^(1/10))') ((1-(sqrt(5)-1)/(2*sqrt(5)))^(1/10)*assoc_legendre_p(-4/5,-1/5,1-(sqrt(5)-1)/sqrt(5))*gamma(1/5))/(5*((sqrt(5)-1)/(2*sqrt(5)))^(1/10)) sage: bla=_ sage: bla.sage() 0

Probably boils down to
sage: maxima('assoc_legendre_p(-4/5,-1/5,1)') assoc_legendre_p(-4/5,-1/5,1) sage: _.sage() 0
which in turn comes from
sage: gen_legendre_P(-4/5,-1/5,x) 0

mpmath returns 0.000000000000000
with
import mpmath from sage.libs.mpmath.all import call as mpcall mpcall(mpmath.legenp, -0.8, -0.2, 1)
and Wolfram Alpha agrees with it but also agrees with the nonzero value for the 2F1 expression so the simplification by Maxima seems wrong.
On another note there is this in Func_assoc_legendre_P._eval_special_values(self,n,m,x)
:
if m > n: return ZZ(0)
However in Wikipedia that if |m|>l then Plm=0, so the code seems wrong (missing the abs).

Confirmation from arb:
sage: CBF(1/10*sqrt(5)*(sqrt(5) - 1)).hypergeometric([1/5,4/5],[6/5]) [1.0429660590683 +/- 5.27e-14] sage: CBF(1).legendre_P(-4/5,-1/5) 0
comment:10 Changed 3 years ago by
Maybe because Legendre polynomials can be extended to rational parameters either by 0 or by hypergeometric functions. What we see looks like a clash of extensions, no ?
comment:11 Changed 3 years ago by
No, the relevant extension is http://dlmf.nist.gov/14.3.E6 and it holds for x > 1 but the 2F1 argument here is 0.276 which makes x around 0.447, i.e. < 1. Agree?
User error. Assumptions given earlier interferred with
