No output from integrating complicated function

Posted 4 years ago

Hi all, Could you please help me how to solve this integration.

B = L* Exp[-L*y]* Gamma[1 + m, 0, Sqrt[g (y + h)/(p (1 - (v^2 + u^2)*g))]/n] / Gamma[1 + m]

A = Integrate[B, {y, 0, Infinity}]

You have the Gamma (with a capital G) function twice in your code, but in the image it is a lower case gamma. What is lower case gamma?

If you mean for gamma to be the incomplete Gamma function, then the closed form doesn't exist. However, with a suitable scaling, it is fairly easy to find numerical values for the integral:

Plot[With[{m = q}, 
  NIntegrate[Exp[-y] Gamma[1 + m, 0, Sqrt[y]], {y, 0, Infinity}]], {q,
   0, 10}]

Note: this question is a repost of this stackexchange which also has comments.

Hi Carter,

The lower case gamma denotes the lower incomplete gamma function while the one with the upper case denotes the complete gamma function.
