Hi, der derivative is complete right, since Condition[] has no derivative Dt[vx1[t]] evaluates to vx1'[t] until you can tell Mathematica how to find out a) what the function value of vx1[t] for t>5 may be b) to compute the derivative for t==5 c) determine when the symbol t in vx1[t] may be >5 Regards Jens Bamboo wrote: > > Dear all, > > I find a problem and don't know why.
