Hello, I am using syms for computing Lie derivative. My problem is that I have a robot model and when I take the 2nd lie derivative, the matrix appears like
state = [x1; x2 ;x3 ;x4];
fx = 4*1 sym function
hx = hx_new = [1 0 0 0;
0 0 0 0;
0 0 0 0;
0 0 0 0]*state;
Lf0_h_new = hx_new;
b1_new = jacobian(Lf0_h_new, state);
Lf1_h_new = simplify(b1_new*fx);
b2_new = jacobian(Lf1_h_new, state);
Lf2_h_new = simplify(b2_new*fx)

Lf2_h_new = simplify(b2_new*fx, 'step', 20)

That answer is different than the original Lf2_h_new.
It would help if you were to describe what you were expecting.

Use vpa to approximate the numbers in the answer to a desired number of decimal places.
