Cauchy reduction formula with measure (a variation)

The Cauchy reduction formula conveniently compresses $n$ integrations of a function $F(x)$ into a single integral. Here I am interested in reducing the following "curved-space" ...

The function $G(x) =(4\pi t)^{-d/2} \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} e^{\frac{-|x-y|^2}{4t}}|y|^k dy$ can be controlled when $|x|\rightarrow \infty$

In this paper, Lemma 6, Pinsky proves that $$H(x) =(4\pi t)^{-d/2} \int_{\mathbb{R}^d} e^{\frac{-|x-y|^2}{4t}}(1+|y|)^m \, dy$$ attains its maximum in $x=0$ for $m<0$. This can also be proven using ...

Are “most” bounded derivatives not Riemann integrable?

Given $a,b\in\mathbb R$ with $a<b$. Let $$X=\{f\in C([a,b]): f \text{ is differentiable on } [a,b] \text{ with }f' \text{ bounded }\},$$ and $$A=\{f\in X: f' \text{ is Riemann integrable}\}. $$ It ...

From Zurab's integral representation for the Apéry's constant to almost impossible integrals

I would like to know if the following integrals are known, or in case that aren't in the literature we can calculate these in closed-form (in terms of elementary and standard functions). I wondered ...
