I want to substitute one function for another. Consider this:
v = function('x')
u(x) = (v(x)+v(-x))/2
delta = 10^(-90)
u(delta).subs(v=gamma(x))
The very last line is what I'm trying to accomplish. I know it's the wrong command, but I'm wanting to make the substitution $v(x)\to\Gamma(x)$.
Is there a way along these lines to do such a functional substitution?
I think you want v = function('v') for the first line; the first argument is the name of the function.
Here's the full code:
v = function('v')
u(x) = (v(x) + v(-x))/2
delta = 10^(-90)
u(delta).substitute_function(v, gamma)
I'm puzzled as to why it doesn't work if v is defined as v = function('v', x). Anyone know?
*Exactly* what I was looking for! Thanks! EDIT: Good question though. Why doesn't it work if you specify the variable of the function?
