Dear Group,
I know I can do Integrate[stuff[x],{x,0,y},Assumptions->otherstuff] to
specify, for instance, that a certain parameter in my system is a positive
real.
Can I incorporate Assumptions into an Integral entered with the escape code
[esc]dintt[esc]? For example:
In[32]:=
stuff[x_]:=2 x
In[33]:=
Integrate[k stuff[x],{x,0,1},Assumptions\[Rule]Re[k]>0]
Out[33]=
k
The above evaluates fine, although for this toy example there is no meaning
or benefit from making the Assumptions. But below things don't work. Is
there a fix?
In[33]:=
\!\(\((\[Integral]\_0\%1 k\ stuff[x] \[DifferentialD]x)\),
Assumptions \[Rule] Re[k] > 0\)
\!\(\*
RowBox[{\(Syntax::"tsntxi"\), \(\(:\)\(\ \)\), "\<\"\\\"\\!\\(\\(\\((\\(\
\[Integral]\\_0\\%1\\) \\(\\(k\\(\\(stuff[x]\\)\\) \\(\\(\[DifferentialD] \
x\\)\\)\\)\\))\\)\\), \\(\\(Assumptions \[Rule] \\(\\(\\(\\(Re[k]\\)\\) > \

\\!\\(\\*ButtonBox[\\\"More\[Ellipsis]\\\",

\!\(\*
