About Integrals in the book "Table of Integrals, Series, and Products" by Gradshteyn and Ryzhik

154 Views Asked by At

The book "Table of Integrals, Series, and Products" by Gradshteyn and Ryzhik contains the following two integrals : ( 7th edition section 3.481 ):

  1. $$\int_{-∞}^∞ xe^x \exp (−μe^x)\,dx =\frac{−1}{μ }(C + \ln μ)$$
  2. $$\int_{-∞}^∞ xe^x \exp (−μe^{2x})\,dx =\frac{−1}{μ} [C+\ln(4μ)]\sqrt{π/μ} $$

$C$ is Euler's constant

For $[\operatorname{Re} μ > 0]$

I want to generalize these type of integrals to :

$$I(n;t) = \int_t^∞ x^n e^{μ_1x} \exp (−μ_2e^{2x}) \, dx $$

For cases : $ t=0, -\infty$

Question : How to evaluate $I(n;t)$ for a closed form?

For $t=-\infty$: $$ \int_{-\infty}^{ + \infty } {x^n e^{\mu _1 x} \exp ( - \mu _2 e^{2x} )dx} = \frac{1}{{2^{n + 1} }}\int_0^{ + \infty } {(\log t)^n t^{\mu _1 /2 - 1} \exp ( - \mu _2 t)dt} . $$ But since $$ \int_0^{ + \infty } {t^{z/2 - 1} \exp ( - wt)dt} = \frac{{\Gamma (z/2)}}{{w^{z/2} }}, $$ one has $$ \frac{1}{{2^n }}\int_0^{ + \infty } {(\log t)^n t^{z/2 - 1} \exp ( - wt)dt} = \frac{{d^n }}{{dz^n }}\frac{{\Gamma (z/2)}}{{w^{z/2} }}. $$ Hence, $$ \int_{-\infty}^{ + \infty } {x^n e^{\mu _1 x} \exp ( - \mu _2 e^{2x} )dx} = \frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{{d^n }}{{dz^n }}\frac{{\Gamma (z /2)}}{{\mu _2^{z /2} }}\right]_{z=\mu_1}. $$ You may expand the right-hand side via the Leibniz formula.
