I am trying to obtain some exact analytical results without resorting to numerical approximations, and I ended up with a pretty huge expression that Mathematica is really struggling with. It has no variables, no crazy things like 17th degree polynomials etc. but Mathematica still can't FullSimplify
it.
I uploaded it on pastebin so you can just Import
it and see. You can check numerically that it's just a real expression, it gives -0.075865
.
I have tried a few methods that worked for me before — expanding it in different ways or trying FullSimplify
with a very short TimeConstraint
to obtain even a slightly simplified form. However, nothing works and Mathematica keeps running out of memory or the kernel simply quits while evaluating the expression (Mathematica 10.3, OS X).
Are there any tricks or methods to obtain a simplified expression for complicated analytical results like that? What else can I try?
FullSimplify
can handle it because the way it operates. $\endgroup$N[ ]
sufficient? In your terminology, what would be the "simplification" of $3 + 5$? $\endgroup$
