§17.13 Integrals

Ramanujan’s Integrals

17.13.3\int_{0}^{\infty}t^{{\alpha-1}}\frac{\left(-tq^{{\alpha+\beta}};q\right)_{{%
\infty}}}{\left(-t;q\right)_{{\infty}}}dt=\frac{\mathop{\Gamma\/}\nolimits\!%
\left(\alpha\right)\mathop{\Gamma\/}\nolimits\!\left(1-\alpha\right)\mathop{%
\Gamma_{{q}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(\beta\right)}{\mathop{\Gamma_{{q}}\/}\nolimits%
\!\left(1-\alpha\right)\mathop{\Gamma_{{q}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(\alpha+\beta%
\right)},

Askey (1980) conjectured extensions of the foregoing integrals that are closely related to Macdonald (1982). These conjectures are proved independently in Habsieger (1988) and Kadell (1988).
