Description
Summary:In this article, we obtain simplified as well as original closed-form expressions for integrals involving the gamma function. These explicit results are found neither in the literature nor using symbolic computation software. Subsequent results follow, giving rise to explicit expressions for integrals involving the error function, with application in order statistics. In particular, these results can be used within the framework of reliability theory.
