Assuming[Element[{x, y}, Reals], Re[Exp[x + I y]] // Simplify]

E^x*Cos[y]

Assuming[Element[{x, y}, Reals], 
 Re[ComplexExpand[Exp[(x + I y)^2]]] // Simplify]

E^(x^2 - y^2)*Cos[2*x*y]

Hi,

Of the following two expressions, the first "works", while the second
doesn't. How does one make it work?

Assuming[x > 0 && y > 0, Re[Exp[x + I y]] // Simplify]
Assuming[x > 0 && y > 0, Re[Exp[(x + I y)^2]] // Simplify]

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
