Hi Marco, I think what you need to do is to specify the argument type in the function definition: f[x_,p_Real] = ....... >I must evaluate an Integral in which I'd like to assign real values to >some parameters, but I don't know how to do that. > >For example, in the following integral (a Fourier Transform): > >f[x_,p_]=Integrate[y/(x^2+y^2) Exp[-I p y],{y,-Infinity,Infinity}], > >p should be a real parameter. The output given by Mathematica is >conditioned to Im[p]==0, such as If[Im[p]==0,....,....], which is not >easy to handle, and I'd like to avoid this complication. > >Is it possible ? > >Thanks >-- >Marco Beleggia >
