2009-08-17 Thread Bill Page
Jeff, I don't know any easy way to fix Sage's treatment of complex nested types. I suppose that in it's current state Sage still does not implement sufficiently generic definitions of operations like 'factor'. I do know that it is possible to do this via the Axiom/FriCAS interface. E.g. wsp...@d

I am working in the area of non-symmetric Macdonald polynomials, specifically, I am trying to write a function that implements formula 7 of "A Combinatorial formula for nonsymmetric Macdonald Polynomials" by Haglund, Haiman, and Loehr. Currently, I am having difficulty factoring polynomials in sa
