Complex, Simply Yours

For the post "Rectified Waveform To The Rescue",

The response using a full normal wave is just the superposition of a rectified wave and an inverted rectified wave, but frequency halved.  The results does not contradict.

But the expression,

d2Tdt2=iωdVoIoei2ωdtcos(θ)

is a complex valued frequency  iωd,  as needed in the post "Complex Frequency And SuperConductivity".  Which is dealt with,

d2Tdt2=eiπ/2ωdVoIoei2ωdtcos(θ)

d2Tdt2=ωdVoIoei(2ωdt+π/2)cos(θ)

A phase delay in time.

That is to say, a complex number, eiA multiplied to a time function  eiwt,  travels back or forth in time by a phase  A.
