Calling Sequence

RationalFunctionLimit(f, p)

Parameters

f

-

a multivariate rational function

p

-

a list of assignments for the variables of f

Description

• 

The command RationalFunctionLimit(f,p) returns either undefined if the rational function f does not admit a finite limit at the point given by p, or the limit of f at p otherwise.

• 

If p is a pole of f, that is, if p cancels the denominator of f, then it is assumed that p is an isolated pole of f, that is, f has no poles other than p in a neighborhood of p.

• 

This command is part of the RegularChains[AlgebraicGeometryTools] package, so it can be used in the form RationalFunctionLimit(..) only after executing the command with(RegularChains[AlgebraicGeometryTools]).  However, it can always be accessed through the long form of the command by using RegularChains[AlgebraicGeometryTools][RationalFunctionLimit](..).
