Logarithmic quadratic parameter integral
ID: logarithmic-quadratic-parameter-integral
For every real parameter ,where . For , differentiation under the integral sign and a partial fraction decomposition giveSolving this first-order linear differential equation yields . To fix the constant, dominated convergence gives ; the last absolutely convergent integral changes sign under . Thus . Oddness in supplies the result for negative parameters. The initial value alone does not determine , since every solution tends to zero as .
