Re: [sage-support] substitution in sums and multiplications

Is there a reason why integers are treated so differently to variables? If, for example, 2 is replaced by a variable, everything works as expected: h = (k1 + k2)*x h.subs_expr(k1 + k2 == k3) k3*x I don't understand why g is expanded to 2*k1 + 2*k2 but h not to x*k1 + x*k2 Is there no way

[sage-support] substitution in sums and multiplications

2010-01-25 Thread Ichnich
Hello everyone, there seems to be a bug in substitute: var('k1 k2 k3') f = (k1+k2)^2 f.substitute(k1+k2==k3) gives k3^2 as expected. var('k1 k2 k3') f = (k1+k2)*2 f.substitute(k1+k2==k3) gives 2*k1 + 2*k2. The same happens for +2 instead of *2. Is there an alternative to do a substitution? T
