seen first in 11.1.1, Fixed in 11.2
What is going on here? In version 11.1.1 on windows 7
Using Version 11.0.1 also on windows 7
Source code
ClearAll[x, n, c, a ,b]
Integrate[(a + b*(c*x^n)^(2/n))^3, x]
Why does Mathematica give 1/0 now in the latest update? Do you think this is a new bug?
Obviously, this is a bug. It actually dates to 11.1.0. I checked with the relevant developer. We have a fix in our internal development build, and we'll try to get it into the next release.
This is one of those funny cases where a bugfix elsewhere caused a slightly different path to be traversed inside Integrate, and that path was missing a check for division by zero.
fyi; This bug is now fixed in 11.2. Thank you WRI
traceView2[ Trace[Integrate[(a + b*(c*x^n)^(2/n))^3, x], TraceInternal -> True]]to find out where things go wrong. $\endgroup$ – QuantumDot Jul 1 '17 at 20:49Integrate[(1 + (x^n)^(-n^(-1)))^2, x]$\endgroup$ – QuantumDot Jul 1 '17 at 21:02Integrate[(a+(c*x^n)^(2/n))^3,x]but changing toIntegrate[(a+(c*x^n)^(1/n))^3,x]and error goes away! I just copied the one from the file I was running and posted that. I get more integrals now with same error. But I am sure they are all due to same bug. $\endgroup$ – Nasser Jul 1 '17 at 21:07
