D[z Conjugate[z], Conjugate[z]] z David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/ From: Paperorbifold [mailto:kgodelNOSPAM at liberoNOSPAM.it] In[1]:=D[z z*, z*] Out[1]=z where z*=Conjugate[z], while In[2]:=D[z z*, z] Out[2]=Conjugate[z] + z Conjugate'[z] My question is: which is the best way to get as output Out[2]=Conjugate[z]? Should I properly define StarProduct or is there another even straightforward solution? Thanks a lot. -- ...and I will make them pay for what they've done! (J.L. Picard)
