simplify(expr, wronskian)
expr

any expression
wronskian
literal name; wronskian
The simplify/wronskian function is used to simplify expressions that contain the subexpression fg'−gf', denoted wrf,g, with f and g special functions. In particular, it recognizes the wronskians of
* Identical functions whose indices sum to zero, for example, wrJv,z,J−v,z
* Two functions with the same indices, for example, wrJv,z,Yv,z
* A function with arguments that sum to zero, for example, wrDv,z,Dv,−z
