rncombine

Maxima Function

Calling Sequence

rncombine (expr)

Description

Transforms expr by combining all terms of expr that have identical denominators or denominators that differ from each other by numerical factors only. This is slightly different from the behavior of combine, which collects terms that have identical denominators.

Setting pfeformat: true and using combine yields results similar to those that can be obtained with rncombine, but rncombine takes the additional step of cross-multiplying numerical denominator factors. This results in neater forms, and the possibility of recognizing some cancellations.
