Hi... I am studing the harmonic responce of a photophysical system.
After a convolutio, part the solution contains:
\!\(Erf[\(\((\(-1\))\)\^\(1/4\)\ \((a + 2\ \@t\ \((1 - \[ImaginaryI]\
=CF=86)\))\)\
\)\/\(2\ \@\(\[ImaginaryI] + =CF=86\)\)] - Erf[\(\((\(-1\))\)\^\(1/4\)\ a\)
\/\(2\ \
\@\(\[ImaginaryI] + =CF=86\)\)]\)
That is the difference between two error functions of complex
argument.
Knowing that the following assumptions can be used:
Assumptions -> {a > 0, =CF=86 > 0, t > 0, a =CF=86 t =E2=88=88 Reals}
Can I somehow obtain this part of equation in the form Ro Exp [-i
Phi] ?
More in general, if one have Erf[x]+Erf[y], with x and y complex
numbers, is it possible to express analytically the module and
argument of the sum?
Thanks
