Maxima can solve some integrals involving absolute values, including the example given (integrate(exp(-abs(x)-%i*x),x,minf,inf)), via the package abs_integrate.
(%i2) load (abs_integrate); (%o2) /usr/local/share/maxima/5.32.1/share/contrib/integration/abs_integrate.mac (%i3) integrate(exp(-abs(x)-%i*x),x,minf,inf); Principal Value (%o3) 1 My recommendation is to close this report as "not a bug" or something like that; no matter how extensive the integration routines are, there will always be some integrals which it cannot solve, and although it's regrettable, it's not a bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
