This is really a problem Mathematica seems not to be able to solve. The problem is that it fails to calculate the limit inf(1-erf(inf)) for inf->Infinity. Doing this from hand with help of de L'Hospital's rule gives clearly 0. Although I used Analytic->True within the Limit-command it didn't apply this rule. -- Hendrik van Hees Phone: ++49 06159 71-2755 c/o GSI-Darmstadt SB 3.162 Fax: ++49 06159 71-2990 Planckstr. 1 mailto:h.vanhees at gsi.de D-64291 Darmstadt http://theory.gsi.de/~vanhees/vanhees.html
