Could someone evaluate this integral for me?
$$ \int_0^\infty \int_0^\infty \left(u-\frac{u^2}{2\gamma} \right)\mathrm e^{-u/\gamma}\mathrm e^{-|t-u+v|/\mu}\left(v-\frac{v^2}{2\gamma} \right) \mathrm e^{-v/\gamma} \mathrm du\mathrm dv$$
Please note the absolute value in the exponent!
It would be of tremendous help! I've been struggling with this for so long!
Thank you!!
You can transform this into a do-able integral by making the substitution $x=t-u-v$ and $y=v$. The region of integration becomes $0<y<t-x$ and $-\infty<x<t$.
This makes the absolute value easier to handle since it is now just $|x|$. We can split up the interval $-\infty<x<t$ into $-\infty<x<0$, where $|x|=-x$, and $0<x<t$, where $|x|=x$.
Also, the Jacobian for this subtitution is $-1$.
The result of this transformation is the messy but do-able integral:
$$-e^{\frac{-t}{\gamma}}\left[\int\limits_{-\infty}^0\int\limits_0^{t-x}\left( t-x-y-\frac{1}{2\gamma}(t-x-y)^2 \right)e^{\frac{x}{\gamma}}e^{\frac{y}{\gamma}}e^{\frac{x}{\mu}}(y-\frac{y^2}{2\gamma})dydx\\+\int\limits_0^t\int\limits_0^{t-x}\left( t-x-y-\frac{1}{2\gamma}(t-x-y)^2 \right)e^{\frac{x}{\gamma}}e^{\frac{y}{\gamma}}e^{\frac{-x}{\mu}}(y-\frac{y^2}{2\gamma})dydx\right].$$
