Hi Dave,

very good! It is what I wanted!

By your trick is possible to define reals:

realList = {A, B, G, x, y};

RealQ[f_] := MemberQ[realList, f]

So that, correctly, if

P=AZ +BY +Gy+xU;

P* gives

Gy+xU*+BY*+AZ*

But  Conjugate[P] don't works since it simply echoes

Conjugate[Ux+Gy+BY+AZ]. So better the star suffix!

Fine! Many thanks! Roberto

This will do it.

x,y are real, any others are complex.

RealQ[f_]:=MemberQ[{x,y},f}

SuperStar[f_?RealQ]:=f

SuperStar[f_?NumberQ]:=Conjugate[f]

SuperStar[f:_[___]]:=SuperStar/@f

Cheers,

Dave Snead

Dear Dave,

many thanks again.

Now I have the problem to tell Mathematica that same variables are reals and=
 have not to be 'starred' so that

(x+Iy+z)* is not  x*+Iy*+z* but x-Iy+z*  (if x and y are reals and z

unknown). Command   like Element[x, Reals]

does not work.

Sincerely yours Roberto

This will give you what you want:



SuperStar[f_?NumberQ]:=Conjugate[f]

SuperStar[f:_[___]]:=SuperStar/@f



Cheers,

I have defined the following useful star complex-conjugation (common star ex=
ponent notation)



   f_*:=f/.Complex[u_,v_]->Complex[u,-v]



and it works fine. For example BesselJ[2,x+I y]* gives BesselJ[2,x-I y] etc.=
..(x,y defined/undefined).

Also it is listable on number lists



{1+i2, 5+i6}*  gives  {1-i2, 5-i6} .



Unfortunately it does not work on symbols, i.e.

A* gives A even if I have defined A as a complex number by means of Element[=
A, Complexes].

Similarly if I define Element[{A,B,G}, Complexes]



{A,B,G}* gives {A,B,G}  and (A+B+G)*  gives A+B+G.



I'd like to obtain {A*,B*,G*} and A*+B*+G*    ( ! )



Is it possible to fix this deficiency, unpleasant in manipulating general ex=
pressions where is not known if symbols represent real or complex variables=
 ?



Many thanks!

Rob
