In fact, reading the messages from Jens-Peer Kuska, Bob Hanlon and David Park, I realized that I have been tricked, I would said betrayed :-), by my newsreader and did not catch a wrongly displayed (Log[size])^3 function that my poor brain interpreted as (Lo=g[size])^3 since it was displayed on my screen as (Lo= g[siz e])3 The fact that it could have been the Log function never occurred to me, so the lengthy explanations about how to define the function ?g? to something meaningful, etc. Sorry if I have confused some people!
