canten

Maxima Function

Calling Sequence

canten (expr)

Description

Simplifies expr by renaming (see ) and permuting dummy indices. rename is restricted to sums of tensor products in which no derivatives are present. As such it is limited and should only be used if canform is not capable of carrying out the required simplification.

The canten function returns a mathematically correct result only if its argument is an expression that is fully symmetric in its indices. For this reason, canten returns an error if allsym is not set to true.
