Yeah, I'm doing something like that but it is lame and bugprone. The denominator depends on the root system for the double affine Hecke algebra. Looking at the high powers is hard on the eyes. --Mark >The workaround Andrew and I used in the Iwahori-Hecke algebra was to use > a new variable v

Hey Mark, The workaround Andrew and I used in the Iwahori-Hecke algebra was to use a new variable v and passed in q=v^2. Although this led to a minor panic when I couldn't get the output to line up with references (everything was squared). Best, Travis On Tuesday, April 15, 2014 10:19:25 A
