Bugs item #611411, was opened at 2002-09-19 00:18 You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=104933&aid=611411&group_id=4933 Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Stavros Macrakis (macrakis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: limit asks sign of IND Initial Comment: limit(abs(sin(x)),x,inf) foolishly asks the user Is IND positive, negative, or zero? Moreover, if the user foolishly replies zero, Maxima gets into an infinite loop! (Note that the only case where Limit(abs(IND)) should not return IND is if the limit set consists exactly of { x , - x } for some x. This does happen, it is true, but Limit has far less subtle bugs.... Yes, I know, single- argument Limit only handles the various INFs, not IND and UND.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=104933&aid=611411&group_id=4933 |

This may be due in some part to a bug or wart in asksign -- if asksign is asked about ind, it may see that ind is neither pos nor neg nor zero & therefore ask the user about ind. Seems like asksign should return ind. But that in turn supposes that the caller knows how to cope with a ind return value. Just a thought. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=104933&aid=611411&group_id=4933 |
