A curious connection : What's the function $f(x)$?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 16 down vote favorite 4 Hello I was wondering what was the function $f$ defines like this : Let $f(x)$ a continuous and differentiable function such that : $$f(x)=sum_k=0^inftyfracf'(k)k!(-x)^k$$ In fact can't solve it but it makes a connection between Ramanujan's Master theorem and Frullani's integral via the Fundamental theorem of calculus I explain : We have : $$int_0^inftyx^-s-1f(x)dx=Gamma(-s)f'(s)$$ Or : $$int_0^inftyfracx^-s-1f(x)Gamma(-s)dx=f'(s)$$ Now we use the Fundamental theorem of calculus to get : $$int_0^sint_0^inftyfracx^-s-1f(x)Gamma(-s)dxds=f(s)-f(0)$$ Now we take the limit to get : $$lim_stoinftyint_0^sint_0^inftyfracx^-s-1f(x)Gamma(-s)dxds=f(infty)-f(0)$$ Wich is equal to: $$int_0^inftyfracf(ax)-f(bx)ln(fracab)x$$ So my question is what is the function $f(x)$ , there exists a closed form to this ,is it trivial or not ? Thanks Ps:I know it's not very rigorous but I think it's intere...

Issue with $int_0^inftyfraccos(x^2)x^2dx$

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I have stumbled into a issue with gamma function, I will show the approach first: $$Gamma(x)=int_0^inftyt^x-1e^-tdt$$ subtituting $t=iu^2$ gives: $$Gamma(x)=2int_0^infty(iu^2)^x-1e^-iu^2iudurightarrowfracGamma(x)2i^x=int_0^inftyu^2x-1e^-iu^2du$$ Doing the same thing using $t=-iu^2,$results in$$fracGamma(x)-2i^x=int_0^inftyu^2x-1e^iu^2du$$ Now, summing those two and using that $i^x=e^fracipi2x ,$gives $$fracGamma(x)2(e^fracipi2x+e^frac-ipi2x)=int_0^inftyu^2x-1(e^iu^2+e^-iu^2)du$$ which is just $$fracGamma(x)2cos(fracpi2x)=int_0^inftyu^2x-1cos(u^2)du$$ plugging $x=-frac12$ we get that$$int_0^inftyfraccos(x^2)x^2dx=-sqrtfracpi2$$ Well, obviously this integral diverges... But if Instead of summing we subtract we get that $$fracGamma(x)2sin(fracpi2x)=int_0^inftyu^2x-1sin(u^2)du$$ simmilarly with $$x=-frac12 rightarrow int_0^inftyfracsin(x^2)x^2dx=sqrtfracpi2$$ So its not that completely garbage. Now my question is, w...

How to compute $lim_x to 0 frac1x^2 int_0^x f(t)t space dt $?

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 For a continuous function $f: R to R $ Define: $$ lim_x to 0 frac1x^2 int_0^x f(t)t space dt $$ Since the function is continuous I can assume that it's also integrable since continuity implies integrability. I assume furthermore that there exists a function $F$ which is an antiderivative of $f$ for which the following are true: $$int_a^b f(x) dx =F(b)-F(a) spacespacespacespacespace a,bin R space $$ $$ lim_x to x_0 fracF(x)-F(x_0)x-x_0=f(x)$$ And that for $f$ $$ lim_x to x_0 f(x)=f(x_0)$$ In order to find the limit, I used partial integration and ended up with: $$ lim_x to 0 fracF(x)(x-1) +F(0)x^2$$ At this point, I tried to use L'Hôpital's rule and ended up with the value $fracf(0)2$ which seems totally wrong to me . Any advice would be appreciated, I mainly think that my solution idea is wrong, but I am stuck. limits derivatives definite-integrals continuity share | cite | improve th...
