Issues with integrating exp and trigs...

There seems to be a bug with improper integration:

integrate(cos(t)*exp(-x*t),t=-infinity..infinity)

gives

0

Substituting any number for x, or assuming x >= 0  (or x<=0) does give the correct result,

The problem also persists when assuming x>-1 (or x>-Maple_floats(MIN_FLOAT))

Bug in integrate...

There seems to be a bug in determining the folowing integral analytically:

integrate(-(3/2*(exp(-(1/4)*x)*x-sqrt(Pi)*erf((1/2)*sqrt(x))*sqrt(x)))/(sqrt(x)*sqrt(Pi)*erf((1/2)*sqrt(x))), x = 0..1)

Maple gives as a result

3/2

However, numerically integrating it

integrate(-(3/2*(exp(-(1/4)*x)*x-sqrt(Pi)*erf((1/2)*sqrt(x))*sqrt(x)))/(sqrt(x)*sqrt(Pi)*erf((1/2)*sqrt(x))), x=0..1,numeric)

gives

0.1195461293

In fact, integrating it from a to b,

integrate(-(3/2*(exp(-(1/4)*x)*x-sqrt(Pi)*erf((1/2)*sqrt(x))*sqrt(x)))/(sqrt(x)*sqrt(Pi)*erf((1/2)*sqrt(x))), x=a..b)

gives

-3/2 a + 3/2 b

suggesting that Maple thinks the integrand is just 3/2. If one plots it, then it becomes obvious that this is not the case.
