In the case combine(f, ln), expressions involving sums of logarithms are combined by applying the following transformations:

where the coefficient $a$ must be a rational constant and the argument of $x$ and $y$ must be in the region where this transformation is valid, unless 'symbolic' is specified.

In the case combine(f, ln, t), the first transformation is done if the coefficient $a$ is of type t, and the third if the coefficient -1 is of type t. Often it is useful to restrict the transformation to be done only if $a$ is an integer instead of a rational. Also, by specifying the type anything, the transformation is done in all valid cases, provided of course that the coefficient $a$ itself is not a logarithm.
