Has anyone seen this series?

I come across the following infinite series. $$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{t^n}{n!\: n^{a}}, \quad\text{for $t>0$ and $a>0$}. $$ In particular, I am interested in the case where $a=1/4$. ...

Prove $\int_{0}^{\infty} \cos(\omega x) \exp(-x^{\alpha}) \, {\rm d} x \ge {\alpha^2 \sqrt{\pi} \over 8} \exp \left( -\frac{\omega^2}{4} \right)$

I would like to prove that $$\int_{0}^{\infty} \cos(\omega x) \exp(-x^{\alpha}) \, {\rm d} x \ge {\alpha^2 \sqrt{\pi} \over 8} \exp \left( -\frac{\omega^2}{4} \right)$$ for any $\omega > 0$ and $...

How to prove that $ \sum_{m=0}^{\infty} { \Gamma\{(1+2m)/\alpha\}\over \Gamma(1/2+m)} { (-t^2/4)^{m}\over m !} \ge (\alpha/2)^{3}\exp(-t^{2}/4) $

I would love to prove the following inequality $$ {1\over \sqrt{\pi} } \sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \Gamma\{(1+2m)/\alpha\} { (-t^2)^{m}\over (2m) !}=$$ $$ \sum_{m=0}^{\infty} { \Gamma\{(1+2m)/\alpha\}\over \...
