Dear mathgroup,
consider the following integral:
sol=Integrate[
(4a (1-u^2)^(a-2)(s-u)s)^(-1/p), {u,0,s}, Assumptions->
{a>1,p>1,1>s>0,Element[s,Reals],Element[p,Rationals],Element[a,Rationals]}
]
I do not know why i got complex result, which is in this case
unexpected. does anyone have any idea? is this a bug or i overlooked
anything?
Thanks for reply
