I plotted a rather simple function via:
k = 1;
dk = 0.1;
W[x_] = 2 Cos[ 2 Pi ( dk/2 x ) ] Sin[ 2 Pi ( k x ) ]
Plot[ W[x,0] , {x,-20,20}, PlotStyle->{Thickness[0.002]} ]
and the resulting plot has severe problems, such as straight lines
connecting points on the curve where the sinusoidal cycles that
should have appeared simply were skipped.
I have made adjustments to the PlotStyle settings, and at times I
can get some plots to be correct (various values of k and dk). But
there is little consistency, and most combinations are not plotted
correctly.
Is there any solution or explanation to this problem ? Also, I
wonder if it is kernel specific. I have Mathematica version 2.2.4
student edition, for Windows.
