`Does anyone have any advice or help on how to tackle the following problem` ?: $$ \mbox{Show that the function}\ \operatorname{f}\left(r\right) = \int_{0}^{\infty}\operatorname{J}_{0}\left(rx\right) {\rm e}^{-ax^{2}}\cos\left(x\right)x\,{\rm d}x\,,\ r \geq 0 $$ `is positive` for sufficiently large $a$. - It is easy to check that $\operatorname{f}\left(0\right)$ is positive for sufficiently large a and $\operatorname{f}\left(r\right) \to 0$ as $r \to \infty$. - So if I can prove that f cannot have any zeros (or local minima) it would prevent it from becoming negative. - I am not sure though if looking at the critical points of $\operatorname{f}$ is the right way to go. Thanks in advance for any help :) I also, even help such as gaging how easy/difficult such a question is welcome.
