Characterizing the integral as a function of $n$

Let $\alpha \in [0,3], \beta \geq 1, \lambda \geq 1$ and fix $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Consider the function $f(x;\alpha, \beta, \lambda) = x^{\alpha}\exp(-\lambda x^\beta)$. Let $I(n; \alpha,\beta,\lambda) ...

How complicated can an elementary antiderivative get?

I asked this question on MSE here. I recently learned that there are many very large numbers that have been defined, such as $\operatorname{TREE}(3)$ and many others that are too big to be written ...

On an asymptotic integral decay

Let $f\in C^{\infty}([-1,0])$ be real-valued and suppose that $$ \left| \int_{-1}^{0} f(t)\,e^{\lambda t} \,{\rm d} t \right| \leq e^{-\sqrt{\lambda}},$$ for all $\lambda > 0$. Does it follow that $...

The sinc function strikes again [duplicate]

Recall $\text{sinc}(x)=\frac{\sin x}x$. It's a familiar exercise that $\int_0^{\infty}\text{sinc}(x)\,dx=\frac{\pi}2$. But, at present, I wish to ask about the following claim on a "sinc-ing" ...

Justify $\int_0^\infty e^{-ax^2}\ \mathrm{d}x$ for complex $a$ and zero real part [closed]

(Reposted from math stack exchange) I have searched and failed to find a rigorous proof showing that $$\int_{0}^\infty e^{-ax^2}\ \mathrm{d}x = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2\sqrt{a}}$$ is true for $\Re(a)=0$ ...
