Bug introduced in 8.0 or earlier and fixed in 11.0


Define

tointegrate = D[V[y1[t], y2[t]], y2[t]] D[V[y1[t], y2[t]], {y1[t], 2}]

and try to find its indefinite integral

Integrate[tointegrate, t]

MathKernel crashes with no messages after a few second. Other simple indefinite integral problems do yield fine non-coredumping results.

Tested with Mathematica Version

  • "10.2.0 for Linux x86 (64-bit) (July 28, 2015)"
  • "8.0 for Linux x86 (64-bit) (October 10, 2011)"

Do you observe the same behaviour in other versions? Any idea of why gets Mathematica going up the spout on this?

Best,

On v11, on mac os:

In[4]:= tointegrate = D[V[y1[t], y2[t]], y2[t]] D[V[y1[t], y2[t]], {y1[t], 2}]
Out[4]= Derivative[0, 1][V][y1[t], y2[t]]*Derivative[2, 0][V][y1[t], y2[t]]

In[5]:= Integrate[tointegrate, t]
Out[5]=
 Integrate[Derivative[0, 1][V][y1[t], y2[t]]*Derivative[2, 0][V][y1[t], y2[t]], t]
