How to get every term of a sum thats not multiplied by a convergent exponential function?

1 view (last 30 days)
Hey, I need every term of a sum thats not multiplied by a convergent exponential function. In my case:
syms t
G = exp(-t)*cos(t) + 3*exp(-2*t)*sin(2*t) + 1/2*cos(4*t) + 1/5
G = 
What I need is stored in a variable. Is there any MATLAB function that fits my purpose?

Not exactly what you asked, but
syms t
G = exp(-t)*cos(t) + 3*exp(-2*t)*sin(2*t) + 1/2*cos(4*t) + 1/5
G = 
mapSymType(G, 'exp', @(varargin) 0)
ans = 
The reason it is not exactly what you asked is that you specified "not multipled by a convergent exponential function", implying that you would want a term with exp(5*t) [for example] to be retained as that is not convergent. So the parameter to the exp() needs to be examined to determine whether the exp() would be convergent or not.

syms t
G = exp(-t)*cos(t) + 3*exp(-2*t)*sin(2*t) + 1/2*cos(4*t) + 1/5 + 5*exp(7*t)
G = 
H = mapSymType(G, 'exp', @(EXPR) piecewise(LimitIsInf(children(EXPR,1)), EXPR, sym(0)))
H = 
function tf = LimitIsInf(EXPR)
var = symvar(EXPR,1);
if ~isempty(var)
tf = isAlways(limit(EXPR,var,inf)==inf, 'unknown', "true");
else
tf = isAlways(~isfinite(EXPR), 'unknown', "true");
end
tf = tf == symtrue;
end
