If I remember correctly:
If the equations are not polynomial but anything (e.g. "sin(x)*y=cos
(z)" and so on) then one can prove that there is no algorithm that
would cover all consequences of the given general relations.
You can always do substitutions, as pointed out by Stan, but this
would only be a syntactical operation. So, if you replace x+y by 0,
then the 'subs' method would not realize that x^2+x*y is zero as well:
sage: var('x y')
(x, y)
sage: (x^2+x*y).subs_expr(x+y==0)
x^2 + x*y
Cheers,
Simon
Cheers,
Simon
