"""
There are three types of functions implemented in SymPy:
1) defined functions (in the sense that they can be evaluated) like
exp or sin; they have a name and a body:
f = exp
2) undefined function which have a name but no body. Undefined
functions can be defined using a Function class as follows:
f = Function('f')
(the result will be a Function instance)
3) anonymous function (or lambda function) which have a body (defined
with dummy variables) but have no name:
f = Lambda(x, exp(x)*x)
f = Lambda((x, y), exp(x)*y)
The fourth type of functions are composites, like (sin + cos)(x); these work in
SymPy core, but are not yet part of SymPy.
Examples
========
>>> import sympy
>>> f = sympy.Function("f")
>>> from sympy.abc import x
>>> f(x)
f(x)
>>> print(sympy.srepr(f(x).func))
Function('f')
>>> f(x).args
(x,)

It also serves as a constructor for undefined function classes.
Examples
========
First example shows how to use Function as a constructor for undefined
function classes:
>>> from sympy import Function, Symbol
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> f = Function('f')
>>> g = Function('g')(x)
>>> f
f
>>> f(x)
f(x)
>>> g
g(x)
>>> f(x).diff(x)
Derivative(f(x), x)
>>> g.diff(x)
Derivative(g(x), x)
In the following example Function is used as a base class for
``my_func`` that represents a mathematical function *my_func*. Suppose
that it is well known, that *my_func(0)* is *1* and *my_func* at infinity
goes to *0*, so we want those two simplifications to occur automatically.
Suppose also that *my_func(x)* is real exactly when *x* is real. Here is
an implementation that honours those requirements:
>>> from sympy import Function, S, oo, I, sin
>>> class my_func(Function):
...
... @classmethod
... def eval(cls, x):
... if x.is_Number:
... if x is S.Zero:
... return S.One
... elif x is S.Infinity:
... return S.Zero
...
... def _eval_is_real(self):
... return self.args[0].is_real
...
>>> x = S('x')
>>> my_func(0) + sin(0)
1
>>> my_func(oo)
0
>>> my_func(3.54).n() # Not yet implemented for my_func.
my_func(3.54)
>>> my_func(I).is_real
False
In order for ``my_func`` to become useful, several other methods would
need to be implemented. See source code of some of the already
implemented functions for more complete examples.
Also, if the function can take more than one argument, then ``nargs``
must be defined, e.g. if ``my_func`` can take one or two arguments
then,
>>> class my_func(Function):
... nargs = (1, 2)

while the differentiation is performed.
Note that this may seem strange, that Derivative allows things like
f(g(x)).diff(g(x)), or even f(cos(x)).diff(cos(x)). The motivation for
allowing this syntax is to make it easier to work with variational calculus
(i.e., the Euler-Lagrange method). The best way to understand this is that
the action of derivative with respect to a non-Symbol is defined by the
above description: the object is substituted for a Symbol and the
derivative is taken with respect to that. This action is only allowed for
objects for which this can be done unambiguously, for example Function and
Derivative objects. Note that this leads to what may appear to be
mathematically inconsistent results. For example::
>>> from sympy import cos, sin, sqrt
>>> from sympy.abc import x
>>> (2*cos(x)).diff(cos(x))
2
>>> (2*sqrt(1 - sin(x)**2)).diff(cos(x))
0
This appears wrong because in fact 2*cos(x) and 2*sqrt(1 - sin(x)**2) are
identically equal. However this is the wrong way to think of this. Think
of it instead as if we have something like this::
>>> from sympy.abc import c, s
>>> def F(u):
... return 2*u
...
>>> def G(u):
... return 2*sqrt(1 - u**2)
...
>>> F(cos(x))
2*cos(x)
>>> G(sin(x))
2*sqrt(-sin(x)**2 + 1)
>>> F(c).diff(c)
2
>>> F(c).diff(c)
2
>>> G(s).diff(c)
0
>>> G(sin(x)).diff(cos(x))
0
Here, the Symbols c and s act just like the functions cos(x) and sin(x),
respectively. Think of 2*cos(x) as f(c).subs(c, cos(x)) (or f(c) *at*
c = cos(x)) and 2*sqrt(1 - sin(x)**2) as g(s).subs(s, sin(x)) (or g(s) *at*
s = sin(x)), where f(u) == 2*u and g(u) == 2*sqrt(1 - u**2). Here, we
define the function first and evaluate it at the function, but we can
actually unambiguously do this in reverse in SymPy, because
expr.subs(Function, Symbol) is well-defined: just structurally replace the
function everywhere it appears in the expression.
This is the same notational convenience used in the Euler-Lagrange method
when one says F(t, f(t), f'(t)).diff(f(t)). What is actually meant is
that the expression in question is represented by some F(t, u, v) at u =
f(t) and v = f'(t), and F(t, f(t), f'(t)).diff(f(t)) simply means F(t, u,
v).diff(u) at u = f(t).
We do not allow derivatives to be taken with respect to expressions where this
is not so well defined. For example, we do not allow expr.diff(x*y)
because there are multiple ways of structurally defining where x*y appears
in an expression, some of which may surprise the reader (for example, a
very strict definition would have that (x*y*z).diff(x*y) == 0).
>>> from sympy.abc import x, y, z
>>> (x*y*z).diff(x*y)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: Can't differentiate wrt the variable: x*y, 1
Note that this definition also fits in nicely with the definition of the
chain rule. Note how the chain rule in SymPy is defined using unevaluated
Subs objects::
>>> from sympy import symbols, Function
>>> f, g = symbols('f g', cls=Function)
>>> f(2*g(x)).diff(x)
2*Derivative(g(x), x)*Subs(Derivative(f(_xi_1), _xi_1),
(_xi_1,), (2*g(x),))
>>> f(g(x)).diff(x)
Derivative(g(x), x)*Subs(Derivative(f(_xi_1), _xi_1),
(_xi_1,), (g(x),))
Finally, note that, to be consistent with variational calculus, and to
ensure that the definition of substituting a Function for a Symbol in an
expression is well-defined, derivatives of functions are assumed to not be
related to the function. In other words, we have::
>>> from sympy import diff
>>> diff(f(x), x).diff(f(x))
0
The same is true for derivatives of different orders::
>>> diff(f(x), x, 2).diff(diff(f(x), x, 1))
0
>>> diff(f(x), x, 1).diff(diff(f(x), x, 2))
0
Note, any class can allow derivatives to be taken with respect to itself.
See the docstring of Expr._diff_wrt.
Examples

Some basic examples:
>>> from sympy import Derivative, Symbol, Function
>>> f = Function('f')
>>> g = Function('g')
>>> x = Symbol('x')
>>> y = Symbol('y')
>>> Derivative(x**2, x, evaluate=True)
2*x
>>> Derivative(Derivative(f(x,y), x), y)
Derivative(f(x, y), x, y)
>>> Derivative(f(x), x, 3)
Derivative(f(x), x, x, x)
>>> Derivative(f(x, y), y, x, evaluate=True)
Derivative(f(x, y), x, y)
Now some derivatives wrt functions:
>>> Derivative(f(x)**2, f(x), evaluate=True)
2*f(x)
>>> Derivative(f(g(x)), x, evaluate=True)
Derivative(g(x), x)*Subs(Derivative(f(_xi_1), _xi_1),

``Subs`` objects are generally useful to represent unevaluated derivatives
calculated at a point.
The variables may be expressions, but they are subjected to the limitations

variables, since in that case there can be no ambiguity.
There's no automatic expansion - use the method .doit() to effect all
possible substitutions of the object and also of objects inside the
expression.
When evaluating derivatives at a point that is not a symbol, a Subs object
is returned. One is also able to calculate derivatives of Subs objects - in
this case the expression is always expanded (for the unevaluated form, use
Derivative()).

Differentiate f with respect to symbols.
This is just a wrapper to unify .diff() and the Derivative class; its

shortcuts for multiple variables as with Derivative. For example,

You can pass evaluate=False to get an unevaluated Derivative class. Note

mul=True, log=True, multinomial=True, basic=True, **hints):
"""
Expand an expression using methods given as hints.
Hints evaluated unless explicitly set to False are: ``basic``, ``log``,
``multinomial``, ``mul``, ``power_base``, and ``power_exp`` The following
hints are supported but not applied unless set to True: ``complex``,
``func``, and ``trig``. In addition, the following meta-hints are
supported by some or all of the other hints: ``frac``, ``numer``,
``denom``, ``modulus``, and ``force``. ``deep`` is supported by all
hints. Additionally, subclasses of Expr may define their own hints or
meta-hints.
The ``basic`` hint is used for any special rewriting of an object that
should be done automatically (along with the other hints like ``mul``)
when expand is called. This is a catch-all hint to handle any sort of
expansion that may not be described by the existing hint names. To use
this hint an object should override the ``_eval_expand_basic`` method.
Objects may also define their own expand methods, which are not run by
default. See the API section below.
If ``deep`` is set to ``True`` (the default), things like arguments of
functions are recursively expanded. Use ``deep=False`` to only expand on
the top level.
If the ``force`` hint is used, assumptions about variables will be ignored
in making the expansion.
Hints
=====
These hints are run by default
mul
---
Distributes multiplication over addition:
>>> from sympy import cos, exp, sin
>>> from sympy.abc import x, y, z
>>> (y*(x + z)).expand(mul=True)
x*y + y*z
multinomial
-----------
Expand (x + y + ...)**n where n is a positive integer.
>>> ((x + y + z)**2).expand(multinomial=True)
x**2 + 2*x*y + 2*x*z + y**2 + 2*y*z + z**2
power_exp
---------
Expand addition in exponents into multiplied bases.
>>> exp(x + y).expand(power_exp=True)
exp(x)*exp(y)
>>> (2**(x + y)).expand(power_exp=True)
2**x*2**y
power_base
----------
Split powers of multiplied bases.
This only happens by default if assumptions allow, or if the
``force`` meta-hint is used:
>>> ((x*y)**z).expand(power_base=True)
(x*y)**z
>>> ((x*y)**z).expand(power_base=True, force=True)
x**z*y**z
>>> ((2*y)**z).expand(power_base=True)
2**z*y**z
Note that in some cases where this expansion always holds, SymPy performs
it automatically:
>>> (x*y)**2
x**2*y**2
log
---
Pull out power of an argument as a coefficient and split logs products
into sums of logs.
Note that these only work if the arguments of the log function have the
proper assumptions--the arguments must be positive and the exponents must
be real--or else the ``force`` hint must be True:
>>> from sympy import log, symbols
>>> log(x**2*y).expand(log=True)
log(x**2*y)
>>> log(x**2*y).expand(log=True, force=True)
2*log(x) + log(y)
>>> x, y = symbols('x,y', positive=True)
>>> log(x**2*y).expand(log=True)
2*log(x) + log(y)
basic
-----
This hint is intended primarily as a way for custom subclasses to enable
expansion by default.
These hints are not run by default:
complex
-------
Split an expression into real and imaginary parts.
>>> x, y = symbols('x,y')
>>> (x + y).expand(complex=True)
re(x) + re(y) + I*im(x) + I*im(y)
>>> cos(x).expand(complex=True)
-I*sin(re(x))*sinh(im(x)) + cos(re(x))*cosh(im(x))
Note that this is just a wrapper around ``as_real_imag()``. Most objects
that wish to redefine ``_eval_expand_complex()`` should consider
redefining ``as_real_imag()`` instead.
func
----
Expand other functions.
>>> from sympy import gamma
>>> gamma(x + 1).expand(func=True)
x*gamma(x)
trig
----
Do trigonometric expansions.
>>> cos(x + y).expand(trig=True)
-sin(x)*sin(y) + cos(x)*cos(y)
>>> sin(2*x).expand(trig=True)
2*sin(x)*cos(x)
Note that the forms of ``sin(n*x)`` and ``cos(n*x)`` in terms of ``sin(x)``
and ``cos(x)`` are not unique, due to the identity `\sin^2(x) + \cos^2(x)
= 1`. The current implementation uses the form obtained from Chebyshev
polynomials, but this may change. See `this MathWorld article
<http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Multiple-AngleFormulas.html>`_ for more
information.
Notes
=====
- You can shut off unwanted methods::
>>> (exp(x + y)*(x + y)).expand()
x*exp(x)*exp(y) + y*exp(x)*exp(y)
>>> (exp(x + y)*(x + y)).expand(power_exp=False)
x*exp(x + y) + y*exp(x + y)
>>> (exp(x + y)*(x + y)).expand(mul=False)
(x + y)*exp(x)*exp(y)
- Use deep=False to only expand on the top level::
>>> exp(x + exp(x + y)).expand()
exp(x)*exp(exp(x)*exp(y))
>>> exp(x + exp(x + y)).expand(deep=False)
exp(x)*exp(exp(x + y))
- Hints are applied in an arbitrary, but consistent order (in the current
implementation, they are applied in alphabetical order, except
multinomial comes before mul, but this may change). Because of this,
some hints may prevent expansion by other hints if they are applied
first. For example, ``mul`` may distribute multiplications and prevent
``log`` and ``power_base`` from expanding them. Also, if ``mul`` is
applied before ``multinomial`, the expression might not be fully
distributed. The solution is to use the various ``expand_hint`` helper
functions or to use ``hint=False`` to this function to finely control
which hints are applied. Here are some examples::
>>> from sympy import expand, expand_mul, expand_power_base
>>> x, y, z = symbols('x,y,z', positive=True)
>>> expand(log(x*(y + z)))
log(x) + log(y + z)
Here, we see that ``log`` was applied before ``mul``. To get the mul
expanded form, either of the following will work::
>>> expand_mul(log(x*(y + z)))
log(x*y + x*z)
>>> expand(log(x*(y + z)), log=False)
log(x*y + x*z)
A similar thing can happen with the ``power_base`` hint::
>>> expand((x*(y + z))**x)
(x*y + x*z)**x
To get the ``power_base`` expanded form, either of the following will
work::
>>> expand((x*(y + z))**x, mul=False)
x**x*(y + z)**x
>>> expand_power_base((x*(y + z))**x)
x**x*(y + z)**x
>>> expand((x + y)*y/x)
y + y**2/x
The parts of a rational expression can be targeted::
>>> expand((x + y)*y/x/(x + 1), frac=True)
(x*y + y**2)/(x**2 + x)
>>> expand((x + y)*y/x/(x + 1), numer=True)
(x*y + y**2)/(x*(x + 1))
>>> expand((x + y)*y/x/(x + 1), denom=True)
y*(x + y)/(x**2 + x)
- The ``modulus`` meta-hint can be used to reduce the coefficients of an
expression post-expansion::
>>> expand((3*x + 1)**2)
9*x**2 + 6*x + 1
>>> expand((3*x + 1)**2, modulus=5)
4*x**2 + x + 1
- Either ``expand()`` the function or ``.expand()`` the method can be
used. Both are equivalent::
>>> expand((x + 1)**2)
x**2 + 2*x + 1
>>> ((x + 1)**2).expand()
x**2 + 2*x + 1
API
===
Objects can define their own expand hints by defining
``_eval_expand_hint()``. The function should take the form::
def _eval_expand_hint(self, **hints):
# Only apply the method to the top-level expression
...
See also the example below. Objects should define ``_eval_expand_hint()``
methods only if ``hint`` applies to that specific object. The generic
``_eval_expand_hint()`` method defined in Expr will handle the no-op case.
Each hint should be responsible for expanding that hint only.
Furthermore, the expansion should be applied to the top-level expression
only. ``expand()`` takes care of the recursion that happens when
``deep=True``.
You should only call ``_eval_expand_hint()`` methods directly if you are
100% sure that the object has the method, as otherwise you are liable to
get unexpected ``AttributeError``s. Note, again, that you do not need to
recursively apply the hint to args of your object: this is handled
automatically by ``expand()``. ``_eval_expand_hint()`` should
generally not be used at all outside of an ``_eval_expand_hint()`` method.
If you want to apply a specific expansion from within another method, use
the public ``expand()`` function, method, or ``expand_hint()`` functions.
In order for expand to work, objects must be rebuildable by their args,
i.e., ``obj.func(*obj.args) == obj`` must hold.
Expand methods are passed ``**hints`` so that expand hints may use
'metahints'--hints that control how different expand methods are applied.
For example, the ``force=True`` hint described above that causes
``expand(log=True)`` to ignore assumptions is such a metahint. The
``deep`` meta-hint is handled exclusively by ``expand()`` and is not
passed to ``_eval_expand_hint()`` methods.
Note that expansion hints should generally be methods that perform some
kind of 'expansion'. For hints that simply rewrite an expression, use the
.rewrite() API.
