In a previous paper (Shenton, 1953) we have given an expansion for integrals of the form This expansion may be expressed as a determinantal quotient or Schweinsian series. In the present paper we state more general terms under which the expansion holds and consider the case when the limits of integration are infinite and the weight function of the form In particular we giye expansions for the Psi function, and where C (x) is a positive polynomial.
