Alexander,
It is not clear to me what you are trying to do?? I presume you mean to
use the assignment operator = instead of the comparator ==?? If
that is true, and I presume you meant to put the Clear[H] before you
define H rather than after?? Even so, you will not be able to plot the
function as is since it has real and imaginary parts. Instead try this:
a[0]=1
a[1]=.99/50000
H[w_]:= Log[10,Sum[a[k] Exp[I 2 Pi w(-k)], {k,0,1}]]
Plot[Abs[H[w],{w,1,100}]
or you could plot the Real and Imaginary parts separately. Regards, RF

Hi.
I'm trying to do most trivial and simple thing - define
some function and then Plot[] it. However, I get some very
weird error - " ...is not a machine-size real number at ..."
Here is the code :
a[0]==1
a[1]==0.99/50000
H[w] == Log[10,Sum[a[k] Exp[I 2Pi w(-k)], {k,0,1}]]
Clear[H]
Plot[H[w], {w, 1, 100}]
I've seen some articles (even at www.wolfram.com) about that
problem, but NONE of them proposed a working solution !!!
Just putting Evaluate[] inside the Plot[] does nothing...
