FUNCTION : checkmult - check whether coefficients of q-series are multiplicative CALLING SEQUENCE : checkmult() checkmult(QS,T) checkmult(QS,T,x) PARAMETERS : QS - q-series T - positive integer x - yes/no SYNOPSIS : Determines whether the coefficients of QS are multiplicative up to q^T If nargs=3 and arg3=yes then m,n where QS fails to be multiplicative are printed. Otherwise only the first instance of failure is printed. --------------------------------------------------------- EXAMPLES : > with(qseries): > checkmult(); --------------------------------------------------------- checkmult(QS,T) checkmult(QS,T,yes) Returns 1 if QS up to Q^T is multiplicative If nargs=3 and arg3=yes then m,n where QS fails to be multiplicative are printed. Otherwise only the first instance of failure is printed. --------------------------------------------------------- > EE:=n->q^(n/24)*etaq(q,n,1000): > F1:=EE(3)^3*EE(5)^3: F2:=EE(1)^3*EE(15)^3: > etamake(F1,q,100); 3 3 eta(5 tau) eta(3 tau) > etamake(F2,q,100); 3 3 eta(15 tau) eta(tau) > S1:=series(F1+F2,q,1001): > S2:=series(F1-F2,q,1001): > checkmult(S1,1000); " MULTIPLICATIVE" 1 > checkmult(S2,1000); " MULTIPLICATIVE" 1 > S3:=series(F1,q,1000): > checkmult(S3,1000); "NOT MULTIPLICATIVE" "failure at m=", 3, "and n=", 2 0 > checkmult(S3,30,yes); "NOT MULTIPLICATIVE" "failure at m=", 3, "and n=", 2 "NOT MULTIPLICATIVE" "failure at m=", 5, "and n=", 2 "NOT MULTIPLICATIVE" "failure at m=", 2, "and n=", 3 "NOT MULTIPLICATIVE" "failure at m=", 5, "and n=", 3 "NOT MULTIPLICATIVE" "failure at m=", 8, "and n=", 3 "NOT MULTIPLICATIVE" "failure at m=", 2, "and n=", 5 "NOT MULTIPLICATIVE" "failure at m=", 3, "and n=", 5 "NOT MULTIPLICATIVE" "failure at m=", 3, "and n=", 8 0 DISCUSSION : Let F1 = eta(3*tau)^3*eta(5*tau)^3, F2 = eta(tau)^3*eta(15*tau)^3. The coefficients of both F1 + F2 and F1 - F2 appear to be multiplicative at least up to q^1000. However the coefficients of F1 are not. In fact first fail occurs at 2,3. SEE ALSO : XXXXX
