For integer , integration by parts gives . The boundary term vanishes at both infinities because Gaussian decay dominates every power. The full-line initial values are and , the latter by odd symmetry. Hence
Unlike the half-line Gaussian moment recurrence, full-line odd moments vanish and even moments are twice their half-line values. The domain of integration must be retained when transferring a recurrence between the two settings.
