Here I can't find the limit
limit(U0*(r^(n+1)-1)/(-1+r), n = infinity)
in Maple with condition |r| < 1 which is obviously -U0/(-1+r).
How can I tell Maple that abs(r) <1 so it automatically computes the limit.
P.S. I tried >assume(r <1); additionally( r> -1); but didn't work!
Using Maple 15.01 (2011) or or Maple 16.01 (2012) I am getting,
limit(U0*(r^(n+1)-1)/(-1+r), n = infinity) assuming abs(r)<1;
U0
- ------
-1 + r
I did not see the same behaviour for Maple 14.01 (2010).
