Integral involving expoential - does it have a name?
I'm working with this simple little integral,
,
and was wondering if it had a name. It seems so basic that I imagine there's a lot of literature written about it - I would like to know more about it.
An observation: If the limits were 0 and infinity the solution would be related to gamma functions.
I have found solutions for integer
(integrate by parts once, then note a recursion relation). Then general solutions can be written down; one for even
and one for odd
.
e.g. for odd 
![I_{l}=\left[-\frac{1}{2}\exp\left(-x^{2}\right)\left\{ x^{l-1}+\sum_{n=1}^{N}\left(x^{(l-1)-2n}\prod_{m=1}^{n}\frac{(l-1)-2(m-1)}{2}\right)\right\} \right]_{x_{i}}^{x_{f}}](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?I_{l}=\left[-\frac{1}{2}\exp\left(-x^{2}\right)\left\{ x^{l-1}+\sum_{n=1}^{N}\left(x^{(l-1)-2n}\prod_{m=1}^{n}\frac{(l-1)-2(m-1)}{2}\right)\right\} \right]_{x_{i}}^{x_{f}})
I think that's correct - I'm just getting the feeling that it must have been solved a million times before...
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Tom.
