Prove $\int_0^{\infty}{\frac{1}{e^{sx}\sqrt{1+s^2}}}ds < \arctan\left(\frac1x\right),\quad\forall x\ge1$
The question is to prove:
$$
\int_0^{\infty}{\frac{1}{e^{sx}\sqrt{1+s^2}}}ds < \arctan\left(\frac1x\right),\quad\forall x\ge1.
$$
Numerically it seems to hold true. So I have made some attempts to ...

Taylor coefficients of the integral of the ordered exponential
Let $A$ be a continuous $2\times 2$ matrix-valued function on $[0,1]$. Define $X_A$ as the solution of
$$
X_A'(t) = A(t) X_A(t), \qquad X(0) = I.
$$
In other words $X_A$ is the ordered exponential of $...

Euler–Maclaurin formula in $\mathbb{Z}^d$
I was wondering whether there is a Euler–Maclaurin formula of sorts for expressions such as
$$
\sum_{x \in [a,b]^d\cap \mathbb{Z}^d} f(x) - \int_{[a,b]^d}f(x)
$$
where $d\ge 2$ is an integer, $a,b \...

Is $\int_0^\infty{dx\over x^{x^{x^x}}}<\int_0^\infty{dx\over x^{x^{x^{x^{x^x}}}}}<\int_0^\infty{dx\over x^{x^{x^{x^{x^{x^{x^x}}}}}}}<\cdots$ true?
On MSE I asked whether each of $\int_0^\infty\frac{dx}{x^x},\int_0^\infty\frac{dx}{x^{x^{x^x}}},\int_0^\infty\frac{dx}{x^{x^{x^{x^{x^x}}}}},\cdots$ was less than $2$ and received answers on bounding ...

Lower bound for integrals like $\int_1^{t+1}e^{-\sqrt{s}}s^{-1}ds$
Let
$$I(t) = \int_{1}^{t+1}\exp\left\{-c\frac{s^{1-\beta}}{1-\beta}\right\}s^{-2\beta}ds,$$
where $c$ is some positive constant and $\beta\in(0, 1)$.
Since the integral $I(t)$ given above could not be ...

Ratio of Selberg integral
I'm considering a ratio of incomplete Selberg integral:
$$f_n(a,b)=\frac{\int_{\Delta_a}\prod_{i=1}^nx_i^{\alpha-\frac{n+1}{2}}\prod_{i=1}^n(1-x_i)^{-1/2}\prod_{i<j}|x_i-x_j|}{\int_{\Delta_b}\prod_{...

Binomial again, and again
Let $\lceil a\rceil=$ the smallest integer $\geq a$, otherwise known as the ceiling function. When the arguments are real, interpret $\binom{a}b$ using the Euler's gamma function, $\Gamma$.
Recently, ...

Can this equality hold for a nonzero $b$?
Please may you kindly assist me on this integration exercise: For real $a, b$ with $a \neq 0$, consider the equality
$$\int_1^\infty f(x)\sin(a\log \sqrt x)x^b \mathrm{d}x = \int_1^\infty f(x)\sin(a\...

Asymptotic behaviour/upper bound for $\int_0^{\infty} \exp(-c x^a+K x^b)dx$ for $a>b>0$ as $K\rightarrow \infty$?
What is the asymptotic behaviour or an upper bound for $\int_0^{\infty} \exp(-c x^a+K x^b) \, dx$, for $a>b>0,$ as $K\rightarrow \infty$?
Or any good reference for tools to tackle this question?
