I remember that ComplexExpand[expr] assumes parameters in expr to be real. Hence the following was the shortest succesful expansion I found: In[4]:= FullSimplify[ComplexExpand[E^(I*Pi*(1 + x))]] Out[4]= -E^(I*Pi*x) Simplify is not enough. By the way, while doing much complex function work recently I devolped the habit to always use ComplexExpand as the first opration. Otherwise even the simplest operations Re, Im, Abs don't work.
