Hi
I have been trying to integrate the following :
Integrate[Cosh[2 Abs[x-y]] 2 y, {y,0,1/2},
Assumptions->{Im[x]==0,x>0}]
However, Mathematica chokes and simply returns the integral as it is. However, if I
split up the integral into two portions, it quickly gives me an answer for the parts. Is
there something implicit that I am missing in the Assumptions ?
Thanks,
MS.
