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)

{\begin{aligned}G(z)={}&{\Big (}1-\gamma -\ln(z^{2})-i\operatorname {csgn} (iz^{2})\pi +{\frac {2i}{\sqrt {\pi }}}z\\[5pt]&\qquad {}+(-2+\gamma +\ln(z^{2})+i\operatorname {csgn} (iz^{2})\pi {\Big )}z^{2}-{\frac {4i}{3{\sqrt {\pi }}}}z^{3}\\[5pt]&\qquad {}+\left({\frac {5}{4}}-{\frac {1}{2}}\gamma -{\frac {1}{2}}\ln(z^{2})-{\frac {1}{2}}i\operatorname {csgn} (iz^{2})\pi \right)z^{4}+O(z^{5}))\end{aligned}}
