Simplifying cross product expressions II

Note that you can give assumptions to TensorExpand: TensorExpand[Cross[F3[R + 3 a], F[R + 4 a] - F2[R + 2 a]], Assumptions -> {a \[Element] Reals}] (* Out: -F[R]\[Cross]F3[R] - 3 a F[R]\[Cross]De …

Efficient way to MapApply for Tensor

Note that f[#1, #2, #3, #4] & is just f—this substitution by itself saves some time—and that Apply (@@@) has a secret levelspec argument! You want {2}, i.e. Apply[f, ATensor, {2}]. Note also that you' …

How to state nontrivial tensor symmetry assumptions?

From a small note in the documentation for Arrays, The symmetry sym can be given in several forms. First, it can be given as expressions like Symmetric[{s_i, ..., s_k}] or Antisymmetric[{s_i,...,s …
