Hello! These patches commit 0633ed8082961673eedc092689e06fa39d6bc322 Author: Jens Vollinga <vollinga@thep.physik.uni-mainz.de> Date: Thu May 19 18:10:40 2005 +0000 Fixed bug in expanding expressions containing dummy indices. [V.Kisil] (see <http://www.ginac.de/pipermail/ginac-cvs/2005-May/001586.html>) commit 6b1b11264fe4872132fef8cb8b22cb983ba01736 Author: Chris Dams <Chris.Dams@mi.infn.it> Date: Thu Jul 13 20:02:38 2006 +0000 Needed to call get_all_dummy_indices_safely more often. (see http://www.ginac.de/pipermail/ginac-cvs/2006-July/001780.html) commit 4cf53676d7823ec3c55a90df7723f7f1492a95b2 Author: Chris Dams <Chris.Dams@mi.infn.it> Date: Mon Jul 24 16:47:43 2006 +0000 Improved dummy index renaming. (see http://www.ginac.de/pipermail/ginac-cvs/2006-July/001782.html) made polynomial operations (in particular expand()) substantially slower. For example, Fateman's polynomial expanding benchark degraded from 32sec. to 80sec. My own code which uses multivariate GCD (which in turn uses .expand() extensively) become 4x slower. I'll post 4 patches which address the issue in reply to this message. Comments, questions, suggestions, etc. are wellcome. Best regards, Alexei -- All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
