Multivariate Power Series in Maple

Abstract

We present MultivariatePowerSeries, a Maple library introduced in Maple 2021, providing a variety of methods to study formal multivariate power series and univariate polynomials over such series. This library offers a simple and easy-to-use user interface. Its implementation relies on lazy evaluation techniques and takes advantage of Maple's features for object-oriented programming. The exposed methods include Weierstrass Preparation Theorem and factorization via Hensel's lemma. The computational performance is demonstrated by means of an experimental comparison with software counterparts.
