For real , the multiplier has modulus one and
The triangle inequality applied to the integral therefore gives
The hypotheses and ensure endpoint convergence. Differentiation in is justified on compact parameter intervals by integrable bounds with an additional factor . Differentiating both the exponential multiplier and the power of makes the logarithmic denominator cancel:
Here the scaled Gamma function integral is obtained by . Integrating this derivative from zero to yields
The same modulus bound also gives the useful parameter-shift remainder bound for a logarithmic Laplace integral
because the denominator magnitude is at least .
Fix a small , for example , independently of . Taking imaginary parts of the identity in part (a) gives
The parameter-shift remainder bound for a logarithmic Laplace integral makes the last term , smaller than for every fixed .
The endpoint function is analytic near zero. For any fixed , its Taylor expansion is
Integrating this expansion against uses
while the error is and the extension from to infinity contributes an exponentially small tail. This is Watson's lemma, and gives
Equivalently the coefficients have the stated exponential generating function . In particular,
Thus the apparent term vanishes: the first nonzero terms are . The derivatives of the gamma function supply the successive logarithmic coefficients.
