Abstract

We discuss a simplification algorithm written by W. S. Brown [Bro69], which gives a normal form algorithm for a class of rational expressions merged with (perhaps complex) exponential expressions. Here we describe the algorithm as revised for implementation in the Maple Symbolic Computation System at the University of Waterloo [Cha83]. We provide some tests and comparisons with alternative systems.
