Thanks Wolfgang, I am having difficulty in simplifying this Inverse periodic function for a given boundary condition at t = 0 for #1. E.g., can I get a closed form/general expression for s as a function of t, at least for boundary condition s[0] == Pi/2 ? ... so as to be able to plot the numerical case given from that expression ?

Regards
Narasimham
