The weakness of FriCAS in determining the roots of degree-four
polynomials like this in terms of radicals has also been pointed out
for the simpler example of

radicalSolve(64*z^4 + 64*z^3 + 32*z^2 - 8*z + 1)

in the recent <sci.math.symbolic> thread "radicalSolve() in FriCAS is pathetic", which has been archived at <sci.math.symbolic.narkive.com/2ai15DJT/>.

Related results of the algebraic integrator were improved in the latest version 3.1.10 of FriCAS, but the solutions returned by radicalSolve() involve unnecessary cube roots as before. The December post in <sci.math.symbolic> thread provides the formulae needed to avoid the
cube roots.

Here's the response I got from Google Groups:

Hello ...

We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (fricas-devel) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post
messages to the group. A few more details on why you weren't able to
post:

* You might have spelled or formatted the group name incorrectly.
* The owner of the group may have removed this group.
* You may need to join the group before receiving permission to post.
* This group may not be open to posting.

If you have questions related to this or any other Google Group,
visit the Help Center at https://groups.google.com/support/.

Thanks,

Google Groups

So if somebody with the appropriate permissions could forward my
initial <sci.math.symbolic> post to <fricas-devel>, I would be
grateful.

Martin.

In fact, the value xx is one of radicalRoots(pp) where

pp := x^4-2729960418308000*x^3-395258439243352250000*x^2-55499520947716391500000000*x-345363656226658026765625000000

Interestingly, when I put xx into Mathematica, I get a much nicer expressions.

In[15]:= p1 = Root[pp, 1] // ToRadicals

Out[15]= 250 (2729960418308 + 1930373524352 Sqrt[2] -
23569 Sqrt[2 (13416226688183641 + 9486704869150589 Sqrt[2])])

In[25]:= p3 = Root[pp, 3] // ToRadicals

Out[25]= 250 (2729960418308 - 1930373524352 Sqrt[2] -
23569 I Sqrt[2 (-13416226688183641 + 9486704869150589 Sqrt[2])])

Can I somehow "convince" FriCAS to return similarly "simple" radical expresssions?

Thank you
Ralf

The weakness of FriCAS in determining the roots of degree-four
polynomials like this in terms of radicals has also been pointed out
for the simpler example of

radicalSolve(64*z^4 + 64*z^3 + 32*z^2 - 8*z + 1)

in the recent <sci.math.symbolic> thread "radicalSolve() in FriCAS is pathetic", which has been archived at <sci.math.symbolic.narkive.com/2ai15DJT/>.

Related results of the algebraic integrator were improved in the latest version 3.1.10 of FriCAS, but the solutions returned by radicalSolve() involve unnecessary cube roots as before. The December post in <sci.math.symbolic> thread provides the formulae needed to avoid the
cube roots.

Recent <fricas-devel> posts indicate that radicalSolve() in future
versions of FriCAS will suppress unnecessary cube roots in the zeros of
quartic polynomials.

So there's already one item to check when the new version appears!

I notice that the current <sci.math.symbolic> thread, though started 9
days ago, has not yet appeared on <sci.math.symbolic.narkive.com> -
either the site is not archiving all posts right away, or perhaps only archiving them selectively. It also appears that they do not show posts
that haven't received an answer, though this may actually be intended
to suppress spam messages - in fact, five spam messages were posted to <sci.math.symbolic> on May 22nd with the help of <dizum.com>, "The
Internet Problem Provider".

Of course, posts to the current thread could also have been lost in
transit somewhere ...
