I have calculated belowwant to calculate the following limit:

Limit[(a2 EllipticTheta[3, -((π (l + d0 g t))/(2 l)), E^(-((d0 π^2 t)/l^2))])/(2 Abs[l]) + ( a2 EllipticTheta[3, (π (l - d0 g t))/(2 l), E^(-((d0 π^2 t)/l^2))])/(2 Abs[l]) + ( a1 Sqrt[(d0 t)/l^2] EllipticTheta[3, -((d0 g π t)/(2 l)), E^(-((d0 π^2 t)/l^2))])/Sqrt[d0 t], l -> Infinity] 

TheMathematica gives an output isof zero. However, if I put g=0; before limit funcionusing Limit, the output is not zero anymore! Also when I run belowthe following piece of code:

a1 = 1; a2 = 1; g = 1.5; d0 = 1; t = 0.001; Plot[(a2 EllipticTheta[3, -((π (l + d0 g t))/(2 l)), E^(-((d0 π^2 t)/l^2))])/(2 Abs[l]) + ( a2 EllipticTheta[3, (π (l - d0 g t))/(2 l), E^(-((d0 π^2 t)/l^2))])/(2 Abs[l]) + ( a1 Sqrt[(d0 t)/l^2] EllipticTheta[3, -((d0 g π t)/(2 l)), E^(-((d0 π^2 t)/l^2))])/Sqrt[d0 t], {l, 100, 1000}] 

The output is not zero and doesn't goesgo to zero as I increase the "l"l increases. CouldCan any one understandexplain why does theMathematica gives an incorrect output of limit is always zerohere? Can anyone help me to get the correct outcome of the Limit function?

Mathematica gives an output of zero. However, if I put g=0; before using Limit, the output is not zero anymore! Also when I run the following piece of code:

a1 = 1; a2 = 1; g = 1.5; d0 = 1; t = 0.001; Plot[(a2 EllipticTheta[3, -((π (l + d0 g t))/(2 l)), E^(-((d0 π^2 t)/l^2))])/(2 Abs[l]) + ( a2 EllipticTheta[3, (π (l - d0 g t))/(2 l), E^(-((d0 π^2 t)/l^2))])/(2 Abs[l]) + ( a1 Sqrt[(d0 t)/l^2] EllipticTheta[3, -((d0 g π t)/(2 l)), E^(-((d0 π^2 t)/l^2))])/Sqrt[d0 t], {l, 100, 1000}] 

The output is not zero and doesn't go to zero as l increases. Can any one explain why Mathematica gives an incorrect output here? Can anyone help me to get the correct outcome of the Limit function?
