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) ...

If $f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n$, then $\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x^2) dx = \pi i a_{-\frac{1}{2}}$

I've noticed a curious relationship between the coefficient $a_n$ for a power series and the integral of the real line. For instance, take $f(x) = e^{-x} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n}{n!} x^n$. ...

As-closed-as-possible formula for an integral and/or sum

I need to find the solution of this integral: $$\int^\pi_{-\pi}{d\varphi\,{}\frac{\Gamma(n,2\pi\varphi)}{(1+ia\varphi)^n}},\tag{1}\label{1}$$ where $a\in(0,1)$ and $n$ is a positive integer (not zero)....

Is this double integral of Fourier series always real?

Consider $f(x)$ a function from $\mathbb{R^+}$ to $\mathbb{C}$ such that $f(x) \sim_0 x$ and $\int_{0}^{\infty} f(x) dx=\int_{0}^{\infty} x^2 f(x) dx=0$ Can we demonstrate that following integral is ...
