<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Hi:<br>First of all... scilab latest stable version is 5.5.2, not 5.3... i asked this to you cause i wasn't able to install scimax in scilab 5.5.2 so i could not try your script... <br><br>Then, i think that the output you are getting is just the summation... let's take a look to the output of x1:<br><br>First you have the 7 scale factor, then, the "=" , "/", and "\" form the symbol of a summation, from n=0 to %inf... then... inside of it you have 0.33^n/(z^n)... so what scilab did was writing the summation in a symbolic way... It does that cause that summation is not always convergent i think.. Perhaps you can see it if we write tha same like this:<br><br> %inf<br> ==== n<br> \ 0.33<br> 7 > ----- n<br> / z<br> ==== <br> n = 0<br><br><br><br>If you could somhow specify that |z|>0.33 before doing the summation, but i don't know how to do it on scimax... If you try with maxima alone the result is ok.. <br><br>If i can install scimax in scilab 5.5.2 i will try to solve this problem you are having<br><br><div>> Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2015 03:30:30 -0700<br>> From: doole93@gmail.com<br>> To: users@lists.scilab.org<br>> Subject: Re: [Scilab-users] Symbolic computation in Scilab<br>> <br>> When I do disp(X1) i get this<br>> a n s= <br>> <br>> %inf<br>> ==== n<br>> \ 0.33<br>> 7 > -----<br>> / n<br>> ==== z<br>> n = 0<br>> <br>> and with disp(X2) i get<br>> a n s= <br>> <br>> %inf<br>> ==== n<br>> \ 0.5<br>> 6 > ----<br>> / n<br>> ==== z<br>> n = 0<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> --<br>> View this message in context: http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Symbolic-computation-in-Scilab-tp4032673p4032691.html<br>> Sent from the Scilab users - Mailing Lists Archives mailing list archive at Nabble.com.<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> users mailing list<br>> users@lists.scilab.org<br>> http://lists.scilab.org/mailman/listinfo/users<br></div> </div></body>
