ⓘ

Keywords:: Mellin–Barnes type, integral representations, parabolic cylinder functions
Notes:: See Miller (1955, p. 26). In this reference the conditions on given in Eqs. (12.5.8) and (12.5.9) are missing. These conditions are needed to ensure that in each integrand no poles of the two gamma functions coincide.
