Description
|
|
•
|
The input is a differential operator L or a linear ODE (ordinary differential equation) eqn having rational function coefficients.
|
•
|
The output is a list of lists. Each of these lists contains one equivalence class of generalized exponents.
|
•
|
The name T, which must be specified in the input, is used to denote times a constant. This procedure computes the generalized exponents and expresses them in terms of T. The relation between T and is given in the output as well, in each equivalence class of generalized exponents.
|
•
|
If the argument domain is omitted then the differential algebra specified by the environment variable _Envdiffopdomain is used. If this environment variable is not set then the argument domain may not be omitted.
|
•
|
Instead of a differential operator, the input can also be a linear homogeneous ODE having rational function coefficients. In this case, the second argument dvar must be the dependent variable.
|
•
|
This function is part of the DEtools package, and so it can be used in the form gen_exp(..) only after executing the command with(DEtools). However, it can always be accessed through the long form of the command by using DEtools[gen_exp](..).
