| Apr 15, 2013 at 19:57 | comment | added | Will Jagy | PleaseHelpMe, when you say "average," do you mean a few dozen sextuplets $(z,y,x,w,v,u)$ as inputs, with the corresponding few dozen outputs? How many numbers are in a single output? | |
| Apr 15, 2013 at 19:38 | comment | added | Will Jagy | @Douglas, does not seem to be posted at math.stackexchange.com/questions?sort=newest where it would get more basic responses. Looking at it, I am not sure how the word average is being used. Some example calculations, here or at MSE, would probably settle the question. | |

Retagged. This had nothing to do with algebraic geometry. Also shortened for clarification.

| Apr 15, 2013 at 16:44 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | typically, you will not have much luck finding a proof that two complex expressions differ for all possible inputs; I imagine typically you will be able to find exceptional inputs that equate the two expressions. | |
