| Jun 11, 2015 at 15:41 | comment | added | MarcoB | Edward, could you give a minimal example of an expression you have, and what you would like the transformed output to be? | |
| Jun 11, 2015 at 15:41 | comment | added | Edward Hughes | @MarcoB - thanks for the suggestion. As I understand it, PowerExpand will split the Logs up and I'll then have to reassemble them. In my case this would generate an enormous number of terms. I'd prefer to keep the vast majority of terms intact and just combine Logs when appropriate. Do you have a suggestion which would accomplish this? | |
| Jun 11, 2015 at 15:38 | comment | added | MarcoB | Try PowerExpand (documentation page). It will automatically assume that exponents are integers, and arguments are positive real numbers. Careful though: checking whether these assumptions are appropriate is entirely left to the user! | |
