Unfortunately this will not help much. Maxima/taylor is also unable to compute these functions even for modest values of m efficiently as you can see from the next example: def P(m, n): x, z = var('x, z') if m == 1: return Integer(1) w = exp(2 * pi * I / m) o = sum(exp(z * w^k) for k in range(m)) / m f = exp(z*x) * (exp(z) / o - 1) t = f.taylor(z, 0, n+1) return factorial(n) * t.coefficient(z, n) for m in [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,11,13]: print [m], [P(m, n).subs(x=0) for n in (0..10)] AFAIK there is only one CAS which can handle these things (which are basic!) efficiently: Mathematica. So if I would put something on trac it would be an enhancement request: "Implement the Mittag-Leffler function!".
