Calculating the integral $int_{-infty}^inftyprodlimits_{i=1}^ne^{-(y-v_i)}e^{-e^{-(y-v_i)}}dy$












1












$begingroup$


I'm a little rusty with my calculus so I was hoping if anyone would help me with the following integral:



$$int_{-infty}^{infty} prod _{i=1}^ne^{-(y-v_i)}e^{-e^{-(y-v_i)}}dy$$

          Using $x=mathrm e^{-y}$, the integral you are interested in is
          $$
          I=int_0^{+infty}prod_{i=1}^nleft(xmathrm e^{v_i}cdotmathrm e^{-mathrm e^{v_i}x}right)cdotfrac{mathrm dx}x=int_0^{+infty}ax^{n-1}mathrm e^{-bx}mathrm dx,
          $$
          for some suitable positive $a$ and $b$, depending on $(v_i)_{1leqslant ileqslant n}$, that I will let you discover. Thus,
          $$
          I=int_0^{+infty}ab^{-n}x^{n-1}mathrm e^{-x}mathrm dx=(n-1)!cdot ab^{-n}.
          $$
