§19.23 Integral Representations

Notes:: For (19.23.8) and (19.23.9) see Carlson (1977b, Exercises 5.9-19, 5.9-20, and p. 306). By §19.16(iii), (19.23.8) implies (19.23.1)–(19.23.3), and (19.23.9) implies (19.23.6). Use(19.23.8) to integrate over $\theta$ in (19.23.6) and then permute variables to prove (19.23.5). To prove (19.23.4) put in (19.23.5), relabel variables, and substitute $\mathop{\cos\/}\nolimits\theta=\mathop{\mathrm{sech}\/}\nolimits t$ . For (19.23.7) and (19.23.10) see Carlson (1977b, (9.1-9) and (6.8-2), respectively).
