Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the integral \(\int_0^{\infty}x^A\,(x^2+x)^{B/2}\,e^{-Cx}\,K_{(B)}\left(2\,\alpha\,\sqrt{x^2+x}\right)\,dx\), where participants seek to find an equivalent integral in the table of integrals. The context includes aspects of mathematical reasoning and potential homework-related inquiries.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents the integral and requests assistance in finding an equivalent integral in the table of integrals.
  • Another participant suggests that the forum is intended for general discussions rather than homework help, directing the original poster to the homework help section.
  • A different participant argues that graduate-level homework is acceptable in the forum, implying that the integral may be appropriate for discussion.
  • Responses indicate a disagreement on whether the inquiry fits within the forum's intended purpose.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on whether the integral inquiry is suitable for the forum, with no consensus reached on the appropriateness of the post for general discussion versus homework help.

Contextual Notes

There is uncertainty regarding the classification of the inquiry as homework help or general discussion, and participants have not resolved this distinction.

Hello,
During my derivation, I am faced with the following integral:

\int_0^{\infty}x^A\,(x^2+x)^{B/2}\,e^{-Cx}\,K_{(B)}\left(2\,\alpha\,\sqrt{x^2+x}\right)\,dx

where A, B, and C are positive integers, K_{(B)} is the B^{th} order modified bessel function of the second kind. I am intending to find an equivalent integral in the table of integrals. Can anyone help me, please?

I think this forum is for general discussions rather than homework help, you should post this in homework help section,

Graduate-level homework is acceptable here. This looks like it might fit -- I certainly didn't do hairy integrals with Bessel functions as an undegrad.

Okay, whatever you say.
