If you need it, you are doing something wrong. (2) If you spend a bit of time debugging this, say, computing various functions for various small values of t (e.g. inv[2]), you will quickly learn that you have not defined \[Mu][t_]. This means there will be no end of symbolic computation in trying to resolve various inequalities, etc. (3) There could be other issues. For one, you might have complex values which will cause inequalities to be unevaluated. This, too, might be determined by computing various values (after resolving issue (2) above).
