Negative powers as Gamma mixtures of exponentials #
For -1 < α and 0 < x, Euler's integral gives
x ^ (-(α + 1)) = Γ(α + 1)⁻¹ * ∫ s in Ioi 0, s ^ α * exp (-(x * s)).
Substituting this into a power-weighted half-line integral and exchanging the two integrals
turns it into a power-weighted integral of the Laplace transform of the integrand:
∫ x in Ioi 0, x ^ (-(α + 1)) • g x = Γ(α + 1)⁻¹ • ∫ s in Ioi 0, s ^ α • ∫ x in Ioi 0, exp (-(x * s)) • g x.
The only hypothesis is integrability of the left-hand integrand, which by Tonelli's theorem
is exactly the absolute integrability needed for Fubini's theorem. This reduces singular
power-law integrals, such as the compensated integrals against stable Lévy measures, to
integrals of rational Laplace transforms. For the sine-compensated kernel
exp (i t x) - 1 - i t sin x and its real counterpart exp (-a * x) - 1 + a * sin x,
these Laplace transforms are computed explicitly.
The substitution t ↦ 1 / t turns Euler's integral into
∫ t in Ioi 0, t ^ (-(a + 1)) * exp (-(r / t)) = (1 / r) ^ a * Γ(a) for 0 < a and 0 < r, the
normalization of the inverse-gamma density; averaging Gaussians exp (-π ‖z‖² / t) in the scale
t against such powers produces the kernels ‖z‖ ^ (-2a) of the Riesz potentials and transforms.
