simplify/polar
simplify complex-valued expressions involving polar forms
Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
Examples
simplify(expr, polar)
expr
-
any expression
polar
literal name; polar
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.
