Hi MathGroup(ers), the above integral (it is just an orthogonality relation for Gegenbauer polynomials) gives me an error in in ReplaceRepeated(!) and the result 3/4. For symbolic a symbolic exponent the result is 1/(1+a). For positive exponents the result is 0. How to manipulate the integral tables to give me 0 for negative real arguments (>-1/2). Thanks for an idea Michael Trott trott at physik.tu-ilmenau.de ve
