calculus and analysis - How to find the period of an arbitrary mathematical function?


Is there a function to find the period of an arbitrary (possibly complex) function in Mathematica?



Answer



You can check out this one. I don't know how well it works


Periodic`PeriodicFunctionPeriod[E^(I 2 Pi t) + Cos[3/9 Pi  t], t]


6

Perhaps you are also interested in the other functions in that context. Check


Names["Periodic`*"]

EDIT


As @Artes notes in the comments, in v10 there's a documented version of this function called FunctionPeriod
