simplify/polar

simplify complex-valued expressions involving polar forms

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

simplify(expr, polar)

Parameters

expr

-

any expression

polar

-

literal name; polar

Description

• 

The simplify/polar function is used to simplify complex-valued expressions by applying the identities

polar⁡a,br→polar⁡ar,r⁢b⁢⁢⁢if⁢r⁢is⁢real

r⁢polara,b→polarr⁢a,b⁢⁢⁢if⁢r⁢is⁢real

polar⁡a,b⁢polar⁡c,d→polar⁡a⁢c,b+d

polara,c⁢+polarb,±c→polara⁢±b,c

  

Furthermore, a sum of polars with numeric arguments is combined if at least one term has floating-point arguments.  For more general sums of polars, use evalc.

Examples
