Could you repost your Mathematica code again?
Quite unreadable form!

This time select the cells (both inputs & outputs)
and press Shif+Ctrl+I in order to convert everything to
InputForm.
 Then select the "Copy as Plain Text". Also avoid the use of special
characters like greek letters when you post to the forum.
