I compared the numerical value of an integral expression in Gradshteyn and Rhyzhik (8.431.5) for the BesselI(v,z) function to the BesselI(v,z) function in Maple 2019.2 and got different answers.  The GR expression is the difference of two integrals and it looks like Maple only evaluates the first integral, which is correct only if the order v is an integer.  Please see the attached.

I'm trying to evaluate an integral, but after several hours, MAPLE 2019 is unable to return an answer.  My CPU and memory are not being taxed, and the integrand appears well behaved.  Please see below. Any advice?

restart

istar := y*sinh(Pi*y)*exp(-alpha*y^2)*LegendreP(-1/2+I*y, 1+u)

y*sinh(Pi*y)*exp(-alpha*y^2)*LegendreP(-1/2+I*y, 1+u)

(1)

Istar := `assuming`([int(istar, y = 0 .. infinity)], [alpha > 0, u > 0])

int(y*sinh(Pi*y)*exp(-alpha*y^2)*LegendreP(-1/2+I*y, 1+u), y = 0 .. infinity)

(2)

alpha := 1; u := 2

(3)

plot(istar, y = 0 .. 40)
