Hi,
Is it possible to define a funtion, say f, and have it be the maximum (or minimum) of another function and a constant?
Example (pseudo-script): if g(x)=log(abs(x)), let f(x)=g(x) if g(x)>0, and f(x)=0 for all g(x)<0
Thanks N.C.
Is this what you want?
sage: g(x) = log(abs(x))
sage: f(x) = max_symbolic(g(x),0)
sage: f
x |--> max(log(abs(x)), 0)
sage: plot(f,(x,-e,e))
Cool! I didn't know that we'd actually implemented symbolic versions of max and min.
Yes, years ago - see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6949. However, they have not been very well advertised! I'm going to edit the keywords to make this easier to find.
Yes, that's what I wanted to achieve. Thank you very much!
It also works with 2 functions, which is what I needed in the end.
Thanks again
f(x)=cos(x)
g(x)=sin(x)
h(x)=max_symbolic(f(x),g(x))
a=plot(f,-pi,pi)
b=plot(g,-pi,pi,color='green')
c=plot(h,-pi,pi,color='red')
show(a+b+c)
Glad it works for you!
