The answer is Humongous!

Calculus Level 5

I = 0 sin ( x ) erfi ( x ) e a x x d x I= \displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac{\sin(x)\ \operatorname{erfi}\left(\sqrt x\right)\ e^{-a x}}x dx If I I can be expressed as (for a > 1 a >1 ): I = ln f ( a ) g ( a ) I=\ln\sqrt{\dfrac{f(a)}{g(a)}} Submit the value of 100000 f ( π ) g ( e ) \left \lfloor{100000*f(\pi)*g(e)}\right \rfloor . Note that erfi ( x ) \operatorname{erfi}\left( x\right)\ is the Imaginary Error Function .


The answer is 908127.

The integral is: 0 sin ( x ) erfi ( x ) e a x x d x = ln a 2 2 a + 2 + 2 a 2 2 a + 2 a + 1 + 1 a 2 2 a + 2 2 a 2 2 a + 2 a + 1 + 1 \int_0^\infty\frac{\sin(x)\ \operatorname{erfi}\left(\sqrt x\right)\ e^{-a x}}x dx=\ln\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{a^2-2a+2}+\sqrt2\sqrt{\sqrt{a^2-2a+2}-a+1}+1}{\sqrt{a^2-2a+2}-\sqrt2\sqrt{\sqrt{a^2-2a+2}-a+1}+1}}

This can be found on MSE . The result is proved for a = 2 a=\sqrt{2} and stated for general a > 1 a>1 ; the general proof is a simple extension of the specific case.

No, one site is enough. I check MSE out to see what's there, though.

Got a proof?
