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) ...

Ability to have function sequence converging to zero at some points

Consider the continuous and non negative function $c : \mathbb R \to [0,1]$ defined by $$ c(x) = \begin{cases} \cos \frac{\pi x}{2} &\text{for } x \in [-1,1]\\ 0 &\text{otherwise} \end{cases}$$...

Does the following sequence $\{g_n\}$ converge?

Consider a function sequence $\{f_n(t)\}$ ($n\in\mathbb{N}^+$) defined on the interval $(\frac{1}{2},1)$, where \begin{eqnarray}\label{eqn:constraint1} f_n(t)=\frac{\exp\left(n\left(\log R(h_t) - th_t\...

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 ...

Express $\int_0^{\pi/2}\{ \operatorname{gd}^{-1}(x)\}dx$ as series of special functions, with $\operatorname{gd}^{-1}(z)$ the inverse Gudermannian

I know that in the literature there are a lot of integrals involving the fractional part (and other floor and ceiling functions). For some of these integrals is provide its evaluation as a series or ...

Does exist a variant of Frullani's theorem valid for $f(x)=\pi(x)/x$ or $f(x)=\psi(x)/x$, where the numerators are prime-counting functions?

Frullani's theorem is a deep theorem in real analysis with applications, see the Wikipedia Frullani integral and other uses and contexts (see [2]). I wrote two imaginative examples of what can be ...

Express $\zeta(n)$, in particular the Apéry's constant, in terms of series involving Gregory coefficients or the Schröder's integral

The idea and motivation of this post is to know if it is possible to express integer arguments of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(n)$, in particular $\zeta(3)$, in terms of series involving the so-...

Two integral representations for $\zeta(3)$ from Zurab's integral and standard formulas for the gamma function

This morning I wrote with the help of a CAS, and integral representation for the Apéry's constant $\zeta(3)$ and some standard formulas two formulas involving this constant. I would like to know if ...
