ABSTRACT
We describe an algorithm, based on Risch's real structure theorem, that determines explicitly all the algebraic relations among a given set of real elementary functions. We also provide examples from its implementation that illustrate the advantages over the use of complex logarithms and exponentials.

Integration of elementary functions
We extend a recent algorithm of Trager to a decision procedure for the indefinite integration of elementary functions. We can express the integral as an elementary function or prove that it is not elementary. We show that if the problem of integration ...

In this paper we generalize the notion of orthogonal Laurent polynomials to orthogonal rational functions. Orthogonality is considered with respect to a measure on the positive real line. From this, Gauss-type quadrature formulas are derived and ...
