(e^1i)^1i simplify ==> e^(-1) and (a^1i)^1i simplify ==> (a^1i)^1i . How are they different ?

I think it's a quirk of the Mupad symbolic engine.

In Mathcad 11 the (Maple) symbolic engine produces the following quirky output:

It appears that e or the exp() function has a special meaning:

The first line gave the error "No symbolic result was found". which is understandable because e^x is always immediatley translated to exp(x). But the second line then surprises with the same error message; unexpected because exp(i)^i indeed IS in there. At least (third line) with any other variable we get expected results, giving clues for the way to deal with e as shown in the fourth line.

Hello! you could write it so:

It performs the exponential only if a = e. or to  powers of e, for example a=3:
