Laplace transform of certain functions with applications

The Laplace transform of the functions tν(1+t)β, Reν>−1, is expressed in terms of Whittaker functions. This expression is exploited to evaluate infinite integrals involving products of Bessel functions, powers, exponentials, and Whittaker functions. Some special cases of the result are discussed....

description The Laplace transform of the functions tν(1+t)β, Reν>−1, is expressed in terms of Whittaker functions. This expression is exploited to evaluate infinite integrals involving products of Bessel functions, powers, exponentials, and Whittaker functions. Some special cases of the result are discussed. It is also demonstrated that the famous identity∫0∞sin (ax)/x dx=π/2 is a special case of our main result.
