Dear Ralf,

Why? The reason is the ::Boolean. That leads to a type mismatch. You
effectively ask for a function with the signature

map: (L -> Boolean, L) -> List Boolean

(where L ==> List Equation Polynomial Integer.) I think you meant to write

  map: (Equation Polynomial Integer -> Boolean, L) -> List Boolean

but Axiom does not provide such a function.

In case the above was indeed a typo, this is not true, ListFunctions2 has such
a map:

(1) -> )sh ListFunctions2
 ListFunctions2(A: Type,B: Type)  is a package constructor
Abbreviation for ListFunctions2 is LIST2 This constructor is exposed in this frame. Issue )edit /users/rubey/axiom/target/i686-pc-linux//../../src/algebra/LIST2.spad to see algebra source code for LIST2
------------------------------- Operations --------------------------------
map : ((A -> B),List A) -> List B reduce : (((A,B) -> B),List A,B) -> B
 scan : (((A,B) -> B),List A,B) -> List B

Thanks, I've reverted my comment.

The only thing I would say is that FiniteLinearAggregateFunctions2 where map is finally implemented looks much more complicated than just writing

[beta a for a in la]

instead of

map(beta, la).

Ralf
