SUMMARY

The integral \(\int \exp\left[x-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{\sigma}\right] dx\) does have an analytical solution. According to user Daniel, the solution can be expressed as \(-\frac{\sqrt{b}}{2}e^{a+\frac{b}{4}} \sqrt{\pi} \ \mbox{erf}\left[\frac{b+2(a-x)}{2\sqrt{b}}\right] +C\). Users are encouraged to utilize the Mathematica integrator available on the Wolfram website for further exploration of this integral.

Hello everybody,

Do you know if the following integral has an analytical solution ?

\int^{}_{} \exp{(x-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{\sigma})} dx

Thanks in advance for your help.

This you mean?Try the Mathematica integrator from the wolfram site.

There it is

[tex]\int \exp\left[x-\frac{(x-a)^{2}}{b}}\right] \ dx =-\frac{\sqrt{b}}{2}e^{a+\frac{b}{4}} \sqrt{\pi} \ \mbox{erf}\left[\frac{b+2(a-x)}{2\sqrt{b}}\right] +C[/tex]
