We denote $B$ the function defined on $\mathbb { R } ^ { + * }$ by $B ( x ) = \frac { \partial ^ { 2 } \beta } { \partial y ^ { 2 } } ( x , 1 )$, where $\beta ( x , y ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } t ^ { x - 1 } ( 1 - t ) ^ { y - 1 } \mathrm {~d} t$.
Show that for every real $x > 0 , B ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } ( \ln ( 1 - t ) ) ^ { 2 } t ^ { x - 1 } \mathrm {~d} t$.

We consider a function $f : ] 0 , + \infty [ \rightarrow \mathbb { R }$ continuous piecewise satisfying the two following properties: (a) there exist an integer $K \geqslant 0$ and a real $C > 0$ such that $| f ( t ) | \leqslant C t ^ { K }$ on $[ 1 , + \infty [$, (b) there exist an integer $N \geqslant 0$, two reals $\lambda > 0$ and $\mu > 0$ and reals $a _ { 0 } , \ldots , a _ { N }$ such that $$f ( t ) = \sum _ { k = 0 } ^ { N } a _ { k } t ^ { ( k + \lambda - \mu ) / \mu } + o \left( t ^ { ( N + \lambda - \mu ) / \mu } \right) \quad \text { when } t \rightarrow 0 .$$
We denote $F$ the function defined by: $$F ( x ) = \int _ { 0 } ^ { + \infty } e ^ { - t / x } f ( t ) d t$$
Show that $F$ is well defined on $] 0 , + \infty [$ and that it satisfies the following asymptotic formula: $$F ( x ) = \sum _ { k = 0 } ^ { N } a _ { k } \Gamma \left( \frac { k + \lambda } { \mu } \right) x ^ { ( k + \lambda ) / \mu } + o \left( x ^ { ( N + \lambda ) / \mu } \right) \quad \text { when } x \rightarrow 0 ^ { + } .$$

Let $\Gamma$ be the Gamma function defined as the pointwise limit on $]0, +\infty[$ of $\Gamma_n(x) = \frac{1}{x} e^{-\gamma x} \prod_{k=1}^{n} \frac{e^{x k^{-1}}}{1 + x k^{-1}}$.
Show that for all $a \in ]0, +\infty[$ and $x \in ]0, +\infty[$: $$\int_0^{+\infty} \frac{t^{x-1}}{(1+t)^{x+a}} dt = \frac{\Gamma(x)\Gamma(a)}{\Gamma(x+a)}.$$ Hint: you may set, for $x \in ]0, +\infty[$, $f(x) = \frac{\Gamma(x+a)}{\Gamma(a)} \int_0^{+\infty} \frac{t^{x-1}}{(1+t)^{x+a}} dt$.
