[sage-support] An abbreviation for lambda?

2009-12-13 Thread Alasdair
In some CAS's (Sage, Maxima), the "lambda" construct is used for an anonymous function: p=prime_range(30) map(lambda x:x^2+1,p) whereas in others, an arrow notation is used: map(x->x^2+1,p) (Maple, MuPAD) map(x+->x^2+1,p) (Axiom) I'm very fond of the convenience of arrow notation. Would it be

David, thanks for making me aware of this, I wasn't following the thread. It looks like two things are happening. First, the multiplication of piecewise functions results in some of the elements (the 0's) of the piecewise function becoming Polynomial_rational_dense instances. It looks like integr

You could also use the LP solver in cvxopt. http://www.sagemath.org/doc/numerical_sage/cvxopt.html For your example problem: sage: RealNumber=float sage: Integer=int sage: from cvxopt.base import matrix as m sage: from cvxopt import solvers sage: c = m([-1., -5.]) sage: G = m([[1., 1.5, -1., 0.]
