Based on some older Math group thread my problem is the following (0 < t):
F:= (x,t) -> Int(exp(-t*eta^2+x*eta)/(1+exp(eta)),eta = -infinity .. infinity);
satisfies 0 = 'diff(F(x,t),t) + diff(F(x,t),x$2)' and for that PDE Maple gives
pdsolve(PDE, f(x,t),build): combine(%):
subs(_c[1]=c,_C1=c1,_C2=c2,_C3=c3,%): rhs(%);
S:=unapply(%, x,t);
S := (x, t) -> c3*c1*exp(c^(1/2)*x-c*t)+c3*c2*exp(-c^(1/2)*x-c*t)
by separation of variables.
I am interested in t=1/2 ( to get (F(x,1/2) ) and for that define
G:= x -> Int(exp(-1/2*(eta-x)^2)/(1+exp(eta)),eta = -infinity .. infinity);
Then we have 'exp(-1/2*(x)^2) * F(x,1/2) = G(x)'; # combine(%): is(%); # =true
Being a bit lame I do not really analytically determine G(+- infinity), but
by plotting and taking large values (say at x=+-40), which gives me 0
and sqrt(2*pi) for x=-infinity. So for very small x that G(x) *not* zero.
However using the solution S one gets 0 at both ends as a sum of 2 Gaussians:
'exp(-1/2*x^2)*S(x,1/2)';

Not all solutions
Not all solutions are returned by pdsolve. Without the build option, it gives
pdsolve(PDE, f(x,t)); (f(x, t) = _F1(x) _F2(t)) &where 2 d d [{--- _F1(x) = _c[1] _F1(x), -- _F2(t) = -_c[1] _F2(t)}] 2 dt dxwhich is only a part of all possible solutions, not including such solutions as f(x,t) = x^2 - 2t, for example.

HINT `+`
It needs some help:
pdsolve(PDE, f(x,t),HINT=`+`,build); 2 f(x, t) = -1/2 _c[2] x + _C1 x + _C2 + _c[2] t + _C3Another comment
Suppose that F(x,t) = F1(x)*F2(t). Now,
value(F(0,t)) assuming positive; 1/2 Pi ------ 1/2 2 tFrom here, F2(t) = c/sqrt(t) which doesn't satisfy the conditions given in the PDE solutions. That means that F(x,t) can not be written as a product of F1(x) and F2(t).

Thx
Thank you both, I see.
Ok, I can not solve it, the question is from groups.google.de/group/sci.math.symbolic/browse_frm/thread/456afbdf28007cbf/
where the notations are a bit different from Manzoni's post (but his final task is just the problem for me)
