A note on a modified Bessel function integral

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2015-10-06 v2

Abstract

We investigate the integral 0coshμ ⁣tKν(zcosht)dt(z)>0,\int_0^\infty \cosh^\mu\!t\,K_\nu(z\cosh t)\,dt \qquad \Re(z)>0, where KK denotes the modified Bessel function, for non-negative integer values of the parameters μ\mu and ν\nu. When the integers are of different parity, closed-form expressions are obtained in terms of z1ezz^{-1}e^{-z} multiplied by a polynomial in z1z^{-1} of degree dependent on the sign of μν\mu-\nu.
