@user64494 Yes, I don't since you incorrectly calculate the integral.
Feb 25, 2023 19:59
Residue hasn't been updated since version 2.0 and so you should not expect evaluating Residue[(n/z/(z^n - 1)), {z, 0}] for abstract n. If you prescirbe n e.g. with Table or With it returns correct values. See in your comment inappropriate z -> 1/2*Exp[I*t])*I*Exp[I*t].
Feb 25, 2023 19:59
@user64494 Since when Residue has the Assumptions option? I'm using version 13.0.1.
Feb 25, 2023 19:59
Question has been changed a few times since I've read it. Residue at zero is obvious, see e.g. Table[Residue[n/(z (z^n - 1)), {z, 0}], {n, 10}]
Feb 25, 2023 19:59
What do you mean by residue of $-n$? There is no singularity in $-n$ for $n>1$.

@halirutan @halirutan It's not the first time when this user exhibits several psychological or even psychiatric problems. I suggest that any dialog will not be constructive in this case. Most likely this are aspects of the low self-esteem problem.
Mar 1, 2016 11:41
@Szabolcs Indeed, I wrote first, than I read the comments.
Mar 1, 2016 11:39
@Szabolcs Do you know when WRI launches version 10.4? I find they made quite a lot of bugs in 10.3, and I believe they should take a closer look at clarification existing functionality, rather than adding new trivial functions.
Mar 1, 2016 11:29
@JasonB It's all right
Mar 1, 2016 11:23
@JasonB No, it doesnt matter. Sometimes I get a bit angry when some MSE users provide wrong answers to simple questions, and then they get upvotes. I was in the chat quite a long time ago. Now I'm not sure how comunicate to other MSE users.

@rm-rf Sometimes I used to ping someone this way like here...
Jul 29, 2014 14:43
@MichaelE2 Thanks for your response. I think that duplicates to earlier posts make this site disordered. Of course there is some kind of freedom of deciding whether a post is a duplicate or not however in this case it seems to me quite clear it's a duplicate. Your method seems to be an overkill but I haven't known it, so +1.
Jul 29, 2014 14:27
@rm-rf I mean I asked them here [Sum with Levi-Civita ](mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/56063/…). They voted to leave that post open but as far as I understand it was an exact duplicate of another one.
Jul 29, 2014 13:43
@RunnyKine @michaele2 @bobthechemist Could you explain how this post is not a duplicate of this one Contracting with Levi-Civita (totally antisymmetric) tensor? I've asked you in the comments to that post but got no response. Have I overlooked anything or just don't understand a "deeper level"?

Read this answer How do I work with Root objects? for more
Sep 6, 2014 09:50
You can if you put numeric values for A and L, when they are symbolic then solutions are in terms of Root objects and there is nothing more to add
Sep 6, 2014 09:49
If you expect some clarification edit your question and make it precise
Sep 6, 2014 09:48
and it does't matter
Sep 6, 2014 09:47
I said I don't know what is W
Sep 6, 2014 09:46
however they are exact solutions
Sep 6, 2014 09:45
It is represented in terms of Root objects
Sep 6, 2014 09:44
and it can be factored: Factor[p[x, 0, 2]] returns 32 (-2 + x)^2 x^4 (4 + 3 x^2), so you can see there are two solutions 2, four solutions 0 and two complex solutions to 4 + 3 x^2
Sep 6, 2014 09:42
For example Solve[p[x, 0, 2] == 0 && x > 0, x] returns a double solution: {{x -> 2}, {x -> 2}}, then the polynomial is quite simple p[x, 0, 2] == 512 x^4 - 512 x^5 + 512 x^6 - 384 x^7 + 96 x^8
Sep 6, 2014 09:38
Having such involved coefficients it is unlikely to expect that you will find a general representation in terms of radicals.
Sep 6, 2014 09:37
there are solutions in terms of radicals only for 4-th order polynomials
Sep 6, 2014 09:36
than Root object
Sep 6, 2014 09:35
When A and L are symbolic you cannot expect more
Sep 6, 2014 09:34
If you expect any help you have to ask a precise question. I don't know what is W and nobody knows it. It doesn't matter at all what it is, but overall I don't know what you are looking for
Sep 6, 2014 09:31
I have done it in the answer, Root objects represetns solutions in terms of A and L, if you apply N you will find numerical approximation.
Sep 6, 2014 09:31
Solve[p[x, 2, 8.753275] == 0 && x > 0, x, Reals] returns two solutions {{x -> 2.01469}, {x -> 3.00001}}.
Sep 6, 2014 09:31
What is $W$?. Edit your question and make it clear since I'm not sure what you really want if my answer does not satisfy you needs.
Sep 6, 2014 09:31
@J.D'Almbert I updated my answer. Root's are symbolic representations of exact solutions, under specific conditions one might apply ToRadicals to Root objects finding solutions in terms of radicals but in general you cannot expect such solutions because it is mathematically impossible to find solutions in terms of radicals for polynomials of order higher than $4$.

Bye
Jun 23, 2014 16:14
Therefore I couldn't answer too many questions
Jun 23, 2014 16:13
If you have another questions I will help when I have time, but recently I was quite a busy
Jun 23, 2014 16:10
Remember also that Reduce[Sqrt[x] + Sqrt[1 - x^2] == Sqrt[2 - 3 x - 4 x^2] &&
x \[Element] Reals, x] and Reduce[Sqrt[x] + Sqrt[1 - x^2] == Sqrt[2 - 3 x - 4 x^2] && x > 0, x] are not equivalent
Jun 23, 2014 16:08
But did you agree with my arguments?
Jun 23, 2014 16:08
Remamber that Mathematica works on complex numbers by default
Jun 23, 2014 16:07
I don't know if you understand the problem correctly
Jun 23, 2014 16:06
Of course you can
Jun 23, 2014 16:05
What is it Mapleprimes?
Jun 23, 2014 16:04
I have one question: why do you mean by "our views are different"?
Jun 23, 2014 16:03
And you find e.g. `Solve[Sqrt[x] + Sqrt[1 - x^2] == Sqrt[2 - 3 x - 4 x^2] && x > 0 &&
2 - 3 x - 4 x^2 > 0 && 1 - x^2 > 0, x]` returns what you expected
Jun 23, 2014 16:02
To sum up you should pose the problem this way: Solve the system `Sqrt[x] + Sqrt[1 - x^2] == Sqrt[2 - 3 x - 4 x^2] && x > 0` or more strictly `Sqrt[x] + Sqrt[1 - x^2] == Sqrt[2 - 3 x - 4 x^2] && x > 0 &&
2 - 3 x - 4 x^2 > 0 && 1 - x^2 > 0`
Jun 23, 2014 15:57
Nevertheless the complete set of solutions includes also negative numbers.
Jun 23, 2014 15:56
thus for the sake of simplicity you have to postulate that x is positive
Jun 23, 2014 15:55
It is another story, in school children don't know about numbers Sqrt[x] for negative x
Jun 23, 2014 15:53
However it is a negative number thus Sqrt[x] and Sqrt[1 - x^2] are complex
Jun 23, 2014 15:51
I demonstrated in my answer with FillSimplify that -1 - Sqrt[2] is also a solution to Sqrt[x] + Sqrt[1 - x^2] == Sqrt[2 - 3 x - 4 x^2]
Jun 23, 2014 15:49
they are not a consequence of the equation Sqrt[x] + Sqrt[1 - x^2] == Sqrt[2 - 3 x - 4 x^2]
