Description (last modified by )
This seems a bug (note the instances of -x^2
and x^2
):
var('a b x y z') sage: p = -a*x^3 - a*x*y^2 + 2*b*x^2*y + 2*y^3 + x^2*z + y^2*z + x^2 + y^2 + a*x sage: p.collect(x) -a*x^3 + (2*b*y + z + 1)*x^2 - x^2 - (a*y^2 - a)*x + x^2 + 2*y^3 + y^2*z + y^2

This is not critical.

- Component changed from calculus to symbolics
- Description modified (diff)
- Summary changed from missing documentation and bug in collect to bug in collect and/or term ordering in symbolics
It turns out that #11839 was opened and did the first part of this ticket, including documenting the expand()
issue.
However, the bug remains, so I'll just change this ticket to be about it.

With the new description, this is probably a duplicate of #9880. I will check if the pynac changes for that ticket fix this one.

bug still present in Sage 5.0.

This is a duplicate of #9880. With the Pynac patch queue and patches listed on #9880, I get:
sage: var('a b x y z') (a, b, x, y, z) sage: p = -a*x^3 - a*x*y^2 + 2*b*x^2*y + 2*y^3 + x^2*z + y^2*z + x^2 + y^2 + a> sage: p.collect(x) -a*x^3 + (2*b*y + z + 1)*x^2 + 2*y^3 + y^2*z - (a*y^2 - a)*x + y^2
We should close this after adding it as a doctest to #9880.

Doctest is in attachment:trac_9880-doctest_for_9046.patch:ticket:9880. This can be closed now.

Burcin,
first the ticket number is wrong (13107 instead of 9046) then the input p was mangled
(ends with a>
instead of a*x
).

I replaced the patch attached to #9880:
attachment:trac_9880-doctest_for_9046.patch:ticket:9880
I hope I got it right this time. Sorry for the noise.

Here is the same session using GiNaC directly via
ginsh
:It seems that one needs to call
expand()
explicitly before callingcollect()
. I think this should just be documented in the docstring.The problem with
-x^2 + x^2
appearing in the output is probably a bug I introduced while playing with the ordering of the terms. I will take a look at it when I find a chance. It's likely to be later than a week though.
