Thank you very much Jean... > > Gobithaasan Please, could you post the expression you used and its result. On my system, using the above assumptions, Mathematica returns the integral unevaluated, which is in agreement with what I already noticed when S > 0: >>> [...] However, it seems that the above integral has no solution if the >>> parameter S is positive. On the other hand, ff we allow S to be negative (or >>> complex) then the integral has a symbolic complex solution. >>> >>> In[49]:= Integrate[ >>> Cos[(r*t*(-\[Kappa]0 + \[Kappa]1 + r*\[Kappa]1) + (1 + r)* >>> S*(\[Kappa]0 - \[Kappa]1)* >>> (-Log[S] + Log[S + r*t]))/r^2], {t, 0, s}, >>> Assumptions -> S > 0] >>> >>> Out[49]= Integrate[ >>> Cos[(r t (-\[Kappa]0 + \[Kappa]1 + r \[Kappa]1) + (1 + >>> r) S (\[Kappa]0 - \[Kappa]1) (-Log[S] + Log[S + r t]))/r^2], {t, >>> 0, s}, Assumptions -> S > 0] Regards, -- Jean-Marc
