(No quotes)I confess I am a bit confused as to what exactly you did usingMathematica. I'll make a few comments based on what I have seen ints thread and the one at the URL given above.First, at the URL you posted some definite integrals. These may usemethods other than indefinite integration, and moreover can spend timeattempting to assess conditions for convergence. Hence the timings mayhave little to do with those of the corresponding indefiniteintegrals. For example, you have:ff[a_, b_, c_, d_, e_, f_, X_] := (a + b*X + c*X^2 + d*X^3 + e*X^4 +f*X^5)* Exp[-(((X - m)/sd)^2)/2]/(Sqrt[2*Pi]*sd)In the version I have (wch I tnk behaves similarly to the currentstreet version), we get for the indefinite integral:In[5]:= InputForm[Timing[Integrate[ff[a, b, c, d, e, f, X]*((X -m)/sd)^5, x]]]Out[5]//InputForm= {0.4200000000000014*Second, -((x*(m - X)^5*(a + X*(b + X*(c + X*(d + X*(e + f*X))))))/ (E^((m - X)^2/(2*sd^2))*Sqrt[2*Pi]*sd^6))}For the definite integral:In[6]:= InputForm[Timing[Integrate[ff[a, b, c, d, e, f, X]*((X -m)/sd)^5, {X,-Infinity,Infinity}, Assumptions->sd>0]]]Out[6]//InputForm= {7.67*Second, 15*sd*(b + 2*c*m + m^2*(3*d + m*(4*e + 5*f*m)) + 7*(d + 2*m*(2*e + 5*f*m))*sd^2 + 63*f*sd^4)}Version 4.2 of Mathematica did indeed hang on ts. But, as I noted,ts is unrelated to the behavior for the indefinite integral (wchworks fine in that version).For the integration in the present thread, I'm guessing you want to dosometng like:InputForm[Timing[Integrate[(Exp[((Log[X1/X0]-m)/sd)^2/2]* Log[a*X1 + b])/X1, {X1,1,X0}, Assumptions->{sd>0,X0>1,Im[m]==0,a>0,b>0}]]]First, I'll note that Mathematica does not do ts particularindefinite integration. As you and Richard Fateman both note, it maywell be the case that it can be done if the integrand given in somedifferent mathematically equivalent form. Moreover, as Richard Fatemansurmised, Mathematica does not have a full implementation of the Rischmethod, hence one can indeed pose problems for wch an elementaryantiderivative exists, but is not found by Mathematica (though oftenthe special function methods will find a non-elementary representationin such cases).For the definite integral posed above, Mathematica also does notnguseful. Offhand I do not know if ts indicates a bug or if theintegration is simply beyond the technology we have available. I planto look into it.I'm not sure what exactly you have in mind to do from here. If it isto find antiderivatives using genetic programming, it ain't gonna work(but no need to take my word for that if you have available time andwant to try it out). === Subject: Re: LISP routines to do symbolic differentiation[deleted]> Version 4.2 of Mathematica did indeed hang on ts.

It is essentialytreating functions as formulas modulo simplification laws. So (x-1)/(x^2-1)is equal to 1/(x+1). On the other hand you can not tell what is the value of (x)^{1/2} (that is of squre root) at x=1 -- squre root of x is treated as whole. That approach is well suited to symbolic calculations,since it sidesteps analytical difficulties due to brancng. Thereis a theorem that you can map finitely generated differential field intomeromorpc functions (even analytic, if you restict domain). Howeversuch mapping is non-unique.

If you want precise answer you must limit what expression you acceptas an answer. One can invent a new usefull class of expressions, butI do not expect current computer algebra systems to do so. On the other hand knowing that integral is non-elementary can help findinga usefull answer.: > The main point is that Risch methods have very gh complexity, so : > even full implementation is expected to run out of resources.: Why do you say ts?

We don't say, Don't do division, it can run out of resourcesThe point is that when you run program on a computer it does not matterif problem is decidable or not. What matters is if the program can handleyour question. If problem is decidable you may still run out of resources(or the program may give you an answer even for undecidable problem). In the other words: there is no warranty. You may hope for the best (and you frequently get it), but no warranty. Coming back to integration, I do not have an example at hand. But the integration algoritm in some cases have to handle polynomialsof degree proportional to absolute values of coefficients of your function.For transcendental functions (logarithm included) those polynomials dependon multiple variables. So, the algorithm is at least doubly exponential.If your function contains irrational algbraic expressions then reallyheavy macnery kicks in. Practically, if complexity is exponential or bigger then pretty small inputs can be too big.By the way, I was tnking of doing a simple implementation of Rischalgorithm. However, I quickly realized that I will run of memory on quite simple examples unless I implement a lot of tricks to make intermediateexpressions smaller. : > the other hand one can have four results:: > : > i) integral done: > ii) out of resources: > iii) proven lack of elementary antiderive: > iv) lack of elementary antiderive if the number theoretic assumption is true: > : > Unfortunatly, Mathematica (and other programs) does not tell wch of : > ii), iii) or iv) holds.: (v) Error in implementation resulting in an incorrect integral.: (vi) Error in implementation resulting in failure to integrate.That is self-evident. When you write a textbook you do not write Ts theorem is true unless I made a mistake.

And the editor will presumablyread it as well.Since these papers are published --for a profit-- thetendency of the publishers is to accept papers witha lower threshold. There is, at least in my mind,a erarchy of such journals. Some are pretty good.Some are mixed. Some are worse.

It is certainly a good suggestionto have selection of referees by myself or others.submissions. As I see ts is day 23 such that still they are lookingfor appointment of associate editors to one of my papers. Looks likethe issue of referees is possibly of some concern.or any other Journals for wch I have submitted papers can accept anoutside list of referees, then I will notify the readers of tsnewsgroup for an appropriate input.I hope that they can underd that ts is a very unconventionalscientific paper and thus an unusual solution is needed.If I hear any more suggestions from the corresponding Journals, I willlet you know. === Subject: Maple & Mathematica packages, Math ArtsNew Maple and Mathematica packages on Graph Tree sitehttp://www.graphtree.com/1. differential geometry calculations2. polynomial approximations for LDE's and functionsMath Arts:1.
