Multivariate Limits

The limit command in Maple 2019 has been enhanced for the case of limits of quotients of multivariate functions:

Many such limits that could not be determined previously are now computable, including all of the following examples.

Returning ranges instead of undefined in the bivariate case

> 

limitx yx2+y2,x=0,y=0

−12..12

(1)
> 

limitx+y2x2−x y+y2,x=0,y=0

0..4

(2)

Support for functions containing abs or radicals

> 

f≔x+|y|x2+y2:

> 

limitf,x=0,y=0

undefined
