Logarithmic moments of a power on the unit interval
ID: logarithmic-moments-of-a-power-on-the-unit-interval
For real and integer , start from and differentiate times with respect to . Each derivative adds one factor , givingTo justify differentiation under the integral sign, restrict to a compact interval with lower endpoint . The derivatives are dominated by , which is integrable: turns its integral into . A power of is integrable against this decaying exponential. This also explains why is the convergence threshold.
