- As part of my thesis, I came up with this integral that looks as
- though it should be easy to solve, however, both Mathematica and
- Maple choke on it. I can't seem to find it in *any* integral tables
- and I've tried every method I can remember to solve it. Any ideas?
-
- Here it is:
-
- /Infinity /X-x0
- | | (-y*b) 2 2 1/2
- | | e ( x + y ) dx dy
- / 0 / -x0
-
- X and x0 are arbitrary constants as is b. X>x0>0 and b = 1/(X*C) (not
- that that should affect things.)
- I'm seeking a symbolic closed form solution to this problem (which may
- or may not be a pipe dream). Any help or suggestions would be greatly
- appreciated.
