hi, If we use ConstrainedMax[f[x],{x1<x<x2},x] to obtain the maximum of f[x] in region {x1,x2}, it seems that f[x] should not include imaginary part. e.g., In[1]:=ConstrainedMax[Abs[x+I],{1<x<2},x] ConstrainedMax::cmfc: Constant term Abs[I+x] in Abs[I+x] is not a real number Out[1]=ConstrainedMax[Abs[x+I],{1<x<2},x] Which function can give me the maximum of the absolute value of a complex fuction f[x] in {x1,x2}? thanks a lot Zhu X.
