Dear group
I dont understand the following behaviour of Mathematica,
I would say the first result is simply wrong
1.)
Limit[Erf[1\/Sqrt[\[Alpha]\ t]], t -> \[Infinity],
Assumptions -> {\[Alpha] > 0}]
gives infinity
2.)
Limit[Erf[1\/Sqrt[\[Alpha]\ t]], t -> \[Infinity],
Assumptions -> {\[Alpha] == 1}]
gives zero
Any suggestions? Is this a bug?
Bye
Ben
