TimeConstrained with absolute timing

Mathematica Asked by Guillermo Oliver on March 16, 2021

Due to backwards compatibility issues, I am using Mathematica 8.0 and it seems to have an issue with TimeConstrained.

I am using this function to set a limit to the time elapsed in a FullSimplify call:

FullSimplifyTime[Equation_, TrigSimplify_, TimeConstraint_] :=
 (Module[{Result, OriginalEquation},
   Print["Starting FullSimplify with ", TimeConstraint , 
    " second time constraint."];
   OriginalEquation = Equation;
   (* Set up a timed constrained equation, 
   return original equation if time is exceeded*)
   Result = TimeConstrained[
     FullSimplify[Equation, Trig -> TrigSimplify],
     TimeConstraint,
     NULL
     ];
   If [Result == NULL,
    Result = OriginalEquation;
    Print["Time constraint exceeded."];
    Return[Result]
    ];
   Print["Simplified within time constraint."];
   Return[Result]
   ]
  )

I have used it without any issues, until now.

When trying to simplify this expression:

exp = L1 + (L7 (1 - (4 L7 (L1 - L2 Cos[[CapitalTheta]2]) (Sqrt[(
              L1^2 + L2^2 - 
               2 L1 L2 Cos[[CapitalTheta]2])/(L1 - 
                L2 Cos[[CapitalTheta]2])^2] + (

It seems to work fine in Mathematica 12.1:

AbsoluteTiming[FullSimplifyTime[exp, True, 10];]

*Starting FullSimplify with 10 second time constraint.*

*Time constraint exceeded.*

{10.0546, Null}

But it gets stuck in Mathematica 8.0, it won’t show the time exceeded message.

Any idea on what is going on or how to fix it? If this is a known issue in Mathematica 8.0, is there any way to constraint an evaluation using absolute timing?

Thank you.
