Martin, Your common sense seems to be based on the assumption that your "something" is a real number. What do you expect if it is a complex number, of a symbolic expression? Making your assumption more explicit gives your expected result: Assuming[ Element[ a , Reals], Simplify[a == 0 && a > 0]] returns False. Regards, Fred Simons Eindhoven University of Technology
