Let . On the negative half-line, the integrand magnitude is bounded at infinity by a constant times , which is integrable as when . On the positive half-line the corresponding bound is , integrable when . Thus
On compact subsets strictly inside these half-planes, the same exponential domination absorbs every power of . Differentiation under the integral is therefore valid and proves holomorphy, rather than only absolute convergence. The bars here denote the printed one-sided Fourier transforms, not complex conjugation.
