[MUG] bug in is?.
Author: Herman Jaramillo    Posted: Mon, 10 Jun 2002 12:45:45 -0500

>> From: Herman Jaramillo "HJaramillo"

In Maple 7.

> is(cos(a)*cos(a)-sin(b)*sin(b)=cos(b)*cos(b)-sin(a)*sin(a));
FAIL
> simplify(cos(a)*cos(a)-sin(b)*sin(b)-cos(b)*cos(b)+sin(a)*sin(a));
0

Is this a bug?.

Perhaps more of a weakness than a bug. "is" does not take identities
among transcendental functions into account when checking equalities.
Unfortunately the help page does not mention this. For example:

> is(exp(2*x) = exp(x)^2);
FAIL

Interestingly, however:

> is(exp(2*x)<=exp(x)^2) assuming x::real;
true

> is(exp(2*x)>=exp(x)^2) assuming x::real;
true

BTW: does anybody have an example where "_EnvTry:= hard" makes a
difference in the result of "is"?

The FAIL indicates that "is" could not figure out the answer, so I would
very rarely consider an answer of FAIL to be a bug. However, it seems
like "is" has been terribly messed up in Maple 8. In Maple 8, the above
"is" returns false.

Maple V release 4 returns a true.

Product Reviews

"Without the Maple software, we would have to spend weeks generating the equations of motion for every experiment. Then the chances that we did it right would basically be near zero. There would always be a mistake somewhere. It is very difficult to set up a dynamic motion model by hand."
- Jean-Claude PiedBeouf, Ph.D Manager of Robotics, Canadian Space Agency

"Its very good - highly accurate and easy to use. The speed of Maple allows me to change equations and quickly reintegrate them into the application, so more possibilities can be explored to achieve the precise effect desired."
Shawn Neely, Senior R & D Director for PDI/Dreamworks
