For what values of the parameter does this function have an elementary anti-derivative?

Hi, Your integral is the incomplete beta function, and has elementary expressions when $r$ is equal to an integer or half-integer. For example, you found the value for $r=1/2$, and when $r=3$ it is …

Mathematica package for obtaining hypergeometric function

In my current research in electromagnetics I am encountering integrals of the form $$ \int_0^\infty dt J_0( r t) \frac{\exp(-h \sqrt{t^2 - a^2})}{\sqrt{t^2 - b^2}} t . $$ $a$ and $b$ are complex numb …

An integral that somehow equals pi^2/6 and involves dilogarithms?

This problem can also be approached by rewriting the sum. I'll show a lot of details, probably too many, here. Use the binomial series to write $ \frac{1}{(1+x^k)^2} = \sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \binom{m+1 …
