Based on the GitHub issue and hints provided, I need to create a patch that adds `_eval_rewrite_as_sinc` support to the exp function. Let me analyze the problem: 1. The issue is that `f.rewrite(sinc)` doesn't work because sinc rewrite hasn't been implemented 2. The pattern `1/2 * (-I*exp(I*k) + I*exp(-I*k))` should simplify to `sin(k)` 3. The pattern `sin(k)/k` should be rewritable as `sinc(k)` From my knowledge of sympy's structure: - `sinc` is defined in `sympy/functions/special/error_functions.py` - Rewrite methods follow the pattern `_eval_rewrite_as_` - The exp function needs a `_eval_rewrite_as_sinc` method Let me create the patch based on sympy's standard patterns: --- a/sympy/functions/elementary/exponential.py +++ b/sympy/functions/elementary/exponential.py @@ -254,6 +254,20 @@ class exp(ExpBase): def _eval_rewrite_as_sin(self, arg, **kwargs): from sympy import sin return sin(S.ImaginaryUnit*arg + S.Pi/2) - S.ImaginaryUnit*sin(S.ImaginaryUnit*arg) + + def _eval_rewrite_as_sinc(self, arg, **kwargs): + from sympy import sin, sinc, I + return self --- a/sympy/functions/special/error_functions.py +++ b/sympy/functions/special/error_functions.py @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ """ This module contains various functions that are special cases of incomplete gamma functions.

Looking at the issue more carefully: 1. The user wants `f.rewrite(sin).simplify()` to work (which already works per the hints) 2. The user wants `f.rewrite(sinc).simplify()` to work (which doesn't work) The fix should add `_eval_rewrite_as_exp` to the sinc class so that expressions can be rewritten to sinc. But more importantly, we need a way for sin(x)/x to be recognized as sinc(x). Looking at the hint: "It seems that rewrite for sinc has not been implemented." The key additions needed: 1. Add `_eval_rewrite_as_exp` to `sinc` class 2. Add `_eval_rewrite_as_sinc` to `sin` class (so sin(x)/x can become sinc(x)) --- a/sympy/functions/elementary/trigonometric.py +++ b/sympy/functions/elementary/trigonometric.py @@ -xxx,6 +xxx,10 @@ class sin(TrigonometricFunction): + def _eval_rewrite_as_sinc(self, arg, **kwargs): + from sympy.functions.special.error_functions import sinc + return arg*sinc(arg) --- a/sympy/functions/special/error_functions.py +++ b/sympy/functions/special/error_functions.py @@ -xxx,6 +xxx,10 @@ class sinc(Function): + def _eval_rewrite_as_exp(self, arg, **kwargs): + from sympy import exp, I + return (exp(I*arg) - exp(-I*arg)) / (2*I*arg) --- a/sympy/functions/elementary/trigonometric.py +++ b/sympy/functions/elementary/trigonometric.py @@ -437,6 +437,10 @@ class sin(TrigonometricFunction): def _eval_rewrite_as_csc(self, arg, **kwargs): return 1/csc(arg) + def _eval_rewrite_as_sinc(self, arg, **kwargs): + from sympy.functions.special.error_functions import sinc + return arg*sinc(arg) + def _eval_conjugate(self): return self.func(self.args[0].conjugate()) --- a/sympy/functions/special/error_functions.py +++ b/sympy/functions/special/error_functions.py @@ -1900,6 +1900,10 @@ class sinc(Function): def _eval_rewrite_as_sin(self, arg, **kwargs): return sin(arg) / arg + def _eval_rewrite_as_exp(self, arg, **kwargs): + from sympy import exp, I + return (exp(I*arg) - exp(-I*arg)) / (2*I*arg) + def _eval_is_zero(self): rest, pi_mult = _get_pi_shift(self.args[0])
