Hi Jean-Marc,

Thank for your help.
I think (Head /@ t1)[[All,1]] is exactly what I need.
Probably I could simplify my definitions of function even before.
In fact, I defined

amp := fmax/f5

with fmax := FindMaximum[Sum[Integrate[f1[x], {x, i, i + a}], {i, 0, 2}],
{p, 0}] whereas f1[x_] := c + (Cos[Pi*x + p])^2
and
f5 := Integrate[f4[x], {x, 0, 2 + a}] whereas f4[x_] := c + (Cos[Pi*x +
pmax])^2 and pmax := p  /. fmax[[2]].

With (Head /@ t1)[[All,1]] I'm now able to create a list amp[a] and to
plot it.
Before your help, I managed to get the list by using 'Block' like f6 :=
Block[{a = 0.1}, amp], but it isn't elegant at all.

Regards,
Sven
