what exactly means 'does not seem to work'? It is impossible to give you a
complete explanation of what goes wrong with your definition without more
information. If you use BeginPackage and alike, one candidate for problems
are the symbols partintrulx, x and δ. Are these exported from the Package?
Otherwise the rule will not be matched or known as intended. Another
suggestion that will make your rule more valuable and also helps to avoid
problems with at least the symbols x and δ is the following change for the
definition:
partintrul[δ_,x_]=...
and use it like:
expr /. partintrul[δ,x]
this way you can use the rule for expressions that use other conventions
concerning symbol names...
