Resumen

In this paper, we present a solution for a specific Gaussian integral. Introducing a parameter that depends on a n index, we found out a general solution inspired by the Taylor series of a simple function. We demonstrated that this parameter represents the expansion coefficients of this function, a very interesting and new result. We also introduced some Theorems that are proved by mathematical induction. As a test for the solution presented here, we investigated a non-extensive version for the particle number density in Tsallis framework, which enabled us to evaluate the functionality of the method. Besides, solutions for a certain class of the gamma and factorial functions are derived. Moreover, we presented a simple application in fractional calculus. In conclusion, we believe in the relevance of this work because it presents a solution for the Gaussian integral from an unprecedented perspective.
