Goodwin–Staton integral

In mathematics the Goodwin–Staton integral is defined as :^[1]

G(z)=\int _{0}^{\infty }{\frac {e^{{-t^{2}}}}{t+z}}\,dt

It satisfies the following third-order nonlinear differential equation：

4w(z)+8\,z{\frac {d}{dz}}w(z)+(2+2\,z^{2}){\frac {d^{{2}}}{dz^{2}}}w(z)+z{\frac {d^{3}}{dz^{3}}}w\left(z\right)=0

Symmetry

$G(-z)=-G(z)$

$G(z)=\left(1-\gamma -\ln(z^{2})-i\operatorname {csgn}(iz^{2})\pi +{\frac {2\,i}{{\sqrt {\pi }}}}z+(-2+\gamma +\ln(z^{2})+i\operatorname {csgn}(iz^{2})\pi \right)z^{2}+{\frac {-4/3\,i}{{\sqrt {\pi }}}}z^{3}+\left({\frac {5}{4}}-1/2\,\gamma -1/2\,\ln(z^{2})-1/2\,i\operatorname {csgn}(iz^{2})\pi \right)z^{4}+O(z^{5}))$
