When I evaluate:

Assuming[3 > jj >= 1 && jj \[Element] Integers, 
 ThreeJSymbol[{jj, 0}, {1, 0}, {2, 0}]]

it outputs an expression saying that if

$3 > jj \ge 1$

I get a nonzero answer, otherwise it's zero. How do I remove this conditional? I found that Simplify does the trick, but this expression appears in a much bigger expression that I don't want to Simplify, because it will take forever. Is there a quick way to remove the conditional?

  • The Simplify should be placed within the scope of the Assuming, i.e., Assuming[3 > jj >= 1 && jj \[Element] Integers, ThreeJSymbol[{jj, 0}, {1, 0}, {2, 0}] // Simplify] You can use parentheses to restrict the scope of the Simplify – Bob Hanlon Sep 30 '22 at 22:00

    Hi, I think you need to provide mory information, otherwise one has to guess what your actual expressions look like and how they were generated. You could try yourExpression /. {f_Piecewise :> Simplify[f,Assumptions -> yourAssumptions]}. – user293787 Oct 01 '22 at 02:36

Does this meet your needs?

expr = ThreeJSymbol[{jj, 0}, {1, 0}, {2, 0}];
Extract[expr, {1, 1, 1}]
expr[[1, 1, 1]]
