I want to get the "I" coefficient. How to do?

  • $\begingroup$ If all of the variables are real: exp // Im // ComplexExpand[#, TargetFunctions -> {Re, Im}] & // Simplify $\endgroup$ – Bob Hanlon Jul 2 '18 at 0:42

Enter

ComplexExpand[exp]

and your expression will be evaluated considering all variables as real.

In order to obtain the imaginary part, Im[%]

  • $\begingroup$ If the variables that explicitly appear in the expression are real than this won't help. After the evaluation of ComplexExpand, Mathematica doesn't know anymore that you want the variables to be treated as real. Consider the difference between Im[ComplexExpand[a + I*b]] and ComplexExpand[Im[a + I*b]]. I assume the OP wants the latter, but I'm not sure. $\endgroup$ – halirutan♦ Jul 1 '18 at 23:42
  • $\begingroup$ It will work. To answer your comment, you obtain respectively Im[a] + Re[b] and b. They are correct since Im is zero on any real number. $\endgroup$ – Ed 209 Jul 2 '18 at 15:04

While Im@ComplexExpand@exp does give you the imaginary part I also think your expression is wrong, as Im[exp] seems to be 0 for any numerical values I set.

First I extracted the symbols from the expression

sym = Cases[Level[exp, {-1}] // Union, _Symbol]

Then I set some test values:

exp /. {coff1 -> 0.2, Gr0 -> 100, Gr0Mz -> 100, theta -> 0.01, 
  tr -> 2, trMz -> 2, wn -> 50}
Plot[{Re[%], Im[%]}, {t, 0, 10}, PlotRange -> Full]

enter image description here

The imaginary plot only gives 0 for many test values I tried. Real part has boring decaying harmonic oscillations

I hope some of it helps.
