I have a double integral, which I want to solve: $\mathcal{I}_{au}=\int_0^{t'}e^{(a-c)t''}\int_0^{t''}e^{(-b+c)t'''}\text{exp}\big(-\frac{\lambda^2}{2}\left( S_2(t''')^2+S_1(t')^2+S_1(t'')^2+2S_{12}t'...

This is a generalization of another question from here.. Let $n \ge 2$ be an integer. Let $\vec{a}:=(a_i)_{i=1}^n \in {\mathbb R}_+^n$ and ${\bar a}:=(a_{i,j})_{1\le i < j \le n} \in {\mathbb R}_+^...

Consider the following integral over $\mathbb{R}^{q+1}$ $$I_q(s) := \int_{\substack{y_1, \ldots, y_q > s \\ y_{q+1} <s}} \exp\left(-Y\Sigma Y^T\right) d\lambda(Y),$$ where $Y = (y_1, \ldots, y_{...

Being interested in the result of $$\int_0^1 \sin \sqrt{-\ln x} \ \mathrm dx= -\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2 \sqrt[4]{e}} ,$$ I tried the substitution $y=\sqrt{-\ln x}$, then $x=e^{-y^2}$ and $\mathrm dx=-2ye^{...

I'm trying to evaluate $$\int \mathrm{erf}(\sin x)dx$$ where $\mathrm{erf}(x) := \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}\int_0^t e^{-t^2}dt$ is the error function. I want to write the answer as in terms of an ...

I'm trying to prove that $\Phi\left((1-\epsilon)\sqrt{2\log(n)}\right)^n \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$ (where $\Phi$ is the standard normal CDF) for any $\epsilon > 0$. I'm having problems. I've tried ...

A classic exercise is to demonstrate that $ e^\pi > \pi^e$ without direct computation, and there are alot of ways to do that. I'm curious to see if there is a geometric way to prove it. My idea is ...
