### 69.2 Package absimp

The `absimp` package contains pattern-matching rules that extend the built-in simplification rules for the `abs` and `signum` functions. `absimp` respects relations established with the built-in `assume` function and by declarations such as `modedeclare (m, even, n, odd)` for even or odd integers.

`absimp` defines `unitramp` and `unitstep` functions in terms of `abs` and `signum`.

`load("absimp")` loads this package. `demo(absimp)` shows a demonstration of this package.

Examples:

    (%i1) load ("absimp")$
    (%i2) (abs (x))^2;
                                           2
    (%o2)                                 x
    (%i3) diff (abs (x), x);
                                          x
    (%o3)                               ------
                                        abs(x)
    (%i4) cosh (abs (x));
    (%o4)                               cosh(x)
