6.59.3  List of variables and of expressions: lvar

The lvar command finds the variables and non-rational that make up an expression.

• lvar takes one argument: expr, an expression.
• lvar(expr) returns a list of variable names and non-rational expressions such that expr its argument is a rational function with respect to the variables and expressions of the list.

Examples.

• Input:
  lvar(x*y*sin(x)^2)
  Output:

  ⎡ ⎣

  x,y,sinx

  ⎤ ⎦

• Input:
  lvar(x*y*sin(x)^2+ln(x)*cos(y))
  Output:

  ⎡ ⎣

  x,y,sinx,lnx,cosy

  ⎤ ⎦

• Input:
  lvar(y+x*sqrt(z)+y*sin(x))
  Output:

  ⎡ ⎢ ⎣

  y,x,

  √

  z

  ,sinx

  ⎤ ⎥ ⎦
