Hi,
I have this expression:
Sqrt[-(lam/Im[(d1*lam - f*lam + I*Pi*w0^2)/(d1*d2*lam - d2*f*lam -
f^2*lam +
I*d2*Pi*w0^2)])]/Sqrt[Pi]
and I wish to simplify it. (Or other expressions with essentially the
same structure). All variables are real and positive, so I want the
real parts of Im[...] to go away.
It's easy enough by hand, but for various reasons I would like
Mathematica to do it for me.
I had a general idea to somehow map ComplexSimplify through all levels
of the expression, and then work my way (somehow) back to the top
level. Problem is, when I use "Level," the Heads go away; I can't
automate the reverse process. I can't think of any other approach to
try.
Is there a way to do this thing?
Thanks in advance,
Aram Schiffman
