The equivalent of the <em>ratweight</em> command would simply write the weights into a table (global, or even better, (optionally) user-supplied) and you'd write a command called something like <em>evaluateWithRatWtLvl</em> that takes an expression and an integer (and optionally the weight table, or otherwise using the global weight table), expands the expression, and throws away terms with too high weight.</p> <p>If you'd like, you could write a package that overloads certain operators, like + and ^, to do an automatic call to <em>evaluateWithRatWtLvl</em> after performing their computation. This will only apply to code you type at the top level, though, not to internal computations done in Maple library code.</p> <p>Hope this helps,</p> <p>Erik Postma<br>Maplesoft.</p> <p>I think you'd have to write this yourself, but it wouldn't be too much work.
