Description
            --> partfrac

 Partial fraction decomposition of a rational in the C set

 SYNTAX
 ------
            partfrac    // Displays this help
  i       = partfrac(f)
 [i,r]    = partfrac(f)
 [i,r,d]  = partfrac(f)
 [i,r,d,t]= partfrac(f)

 PARAMETERS
 ----------
 f : Single rational = polynomial fraction with real or complex coefficients.
 i : Integer part = non-fractional part of f (single polynomial).
 r : Remainder of f: rational with degree(numerator) < degree(denominator)

 d : (3xN) matrix describing the N terms of the r's decomposition:
     d(1,:): real or complex coefficient of numerators.
     d(2,:): real or complex value of the considered poles.
     d(3,:): integer>0: powers m of the denominators (x-pole)^m
     d is such that sum( d(1,:)./ ((x-d(2,:)).^real(d(3,:))) ) - r == 0.
     NOTE: real() must be applied to d(3,:) only because d is complex-encoded.
           See http://bugzilla.scilab.org/14116

 t : 3-rows column of Texts. write(%io(2),t) displays i+d in a comprehensive
     way. The format of coefficients is set with format().

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
 From a single polynomial fraction f = p/q with coprime polynomials p and q,
 partfrac(f) extracts
  * the non fractional part i of f: polynomial such that
    0 <= degree(i) <= degree(p) - degree(q): i = p - modulo(p,q)
  * the fractional part of f, or remainder r of p/q : r = modulo(p,q)/q
    such that degree(numer(r))< degree(q) and  f = i + r
  * the rational decomposition of r, aka partial fraction decomposition of f:
    The 'vector' of elementary rationals c/(x-pole)^m where c and poles are
    decimal or complex numbers and m are the multiplicities of poles:
    c = d(1,:), pole = d(2,:), m = d(3,:)

 In addition, partfrac() may return as text the literal expression t of the
 whole decomposition of f. This form shows the factorized forms of denominators
 where poles that are multiple appear with their powers. write(%io(2), t) may
 be used to display it.

 DEPENDENCY: If d or/and t is expected, polyroots() is required (> See also)

 NOTE: pfss(f) yields a list mixing the non-fractional part (as last element)
  with the decomposition, and where terms of the decomposition are not always
  elementary: their denominator may be of order 2 even for real poles. See the
  example.

 EXAMPLE
 -------
 x = poly(0,"x");
 f = (3-x+x^2-4*x^3+2*x^4) / ((x-1)*(x-2)^2)
 [E, R, F, T] = partfrac(f);

 D = F(1,:)./((x-F(2,:)).^real(F(3,:)))
 clean(R-sum(D))
 // Comparison with pfss():
 list2vec(pfss(f)).'

* Get help: Enter "partfrac" without parameters

CHANGES 1.0 => 2.0
------------------
 * The format of the returned decomposition was a vector of rationals.
   It is now a 3-row matrix specifying for each term, the numerator 
   (coefficient), the value of the considered pole, and the 'pole exponent'.
 * References to pfss() added.
 * Help updated.
