Absolute value in double integral

975 Views Asked by At

Would be appreciated if anyone could shed some lights on how to solve the double integral with absolute value in it.

\begin{align} \int_0^t\:du\int_0^\infty e^{-\mu\left|u-s\right|}Ae^{-\lambda s}\:ds,\:\:\left(\mu\neq \lambda\right).\tag{1} \end{align}

Thanks in advance!

I assume that $A$ is a constant. You divide the inner integral into the following:

$$ \int_0^{+\infty}e^{-\mu|u-s|}Ae^{-\lambda s}\,ds = \int_{0}^ue^{-\mu(u-s)}Ae^{-\lambda s}\,ds+\int_u^{+\infty}e^{-\mu(s-u)}Ae^{-\lambda u}\,ds $$ and just integrate. It seems that, in addition to your condition on $\mu$ and $\lambda$, (the real part of) $\mu+\lambda$ must be positive for the integral to converge.
