Homework Statement
I am trying to integrate
[tex]\int^\infty_0 \frac{e^{-tp^2}}{{p^2+b^2}} cos(pu) dp[/tex].
Homework Equations
I know that
[tex]\int^\infty_0 \frac{e^{-tp^2}}{{p^2+b^2}} dp= \frac{\pi}{2b}e^{tb^2}erfc(\sqrt{a}x)[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I rewrote the problem in terms of the complex exponential and reduced the integrand to a form similar to
[tex]\int^\infty_0 \frac{e^{-tp^2}}{{p^2+b^2}} cos(pu) dp= Re(\int^\infty_0 \frac{e^{-t(p-s)^2}}{{p^2+b^2}} dp)[/tex]
where s is complex but I was stuck here. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
