Hola Karina:
"How can I define n being greater than one before that integration?"
Please try: "Assuming[assum,expr]
evaluates expr with assum appended to $Assumptions, so that assum is included in the default assumptions used by functions such as Refine, Simplify and Integrate."
"In[1]:= Assuming[a > 0, {Refine[Sqrt[a^2]], Integrate[x^a, {x, 0, 1}]}]
Out[1]= {a, 1/(1 + a)}"
Text and example from HELP.
It would be practical to know the function whose integration purportedly failed.
Saludos,

How can I define n being greater than one before that integration. I can only achieve to make it an integer with the Element[] function. Thanks guys.
