Hi,
I define,
G0[r_List, r0_List]:=(Exp[I k Norm[r-r0]/(4*Pi*Norm[r-r0]))*((1+(I/(k*Norm[r-r0]))-(1/(k^2*Norm[r-r0]^2)))*IdentityMatrix[3]-(1/Norm[r-r0]^2)*(1+((3*I)/(k*Norm[r-r0]))-(3/(k^2*Norm[r-r0]^2)))*Outer[Times,r-r0,r-r0])
where
r = {x,y,z}
r0={x0,y0,z0}
ri={x0,y0,-z0}
rsn=r0+{0,0,2*n*d}
rim=ri+{0,0,2*m*d}
When i want to compute
G0r0rim=G0[r0,rim]
I find something odd...
1) Why Abs[2*z0-2*d*m] doesn't give 2*Abs[z0-m*d] ?
2) Why Abs[2*z0-2*d*m] doesn't simplify with (2*z0-2*d*m)^2 ?
Note : all the variables are positive, i.e. : z0>0, d>0 and -Infinity < m_Integer < Infinity.
