Poisson Integral
There are at least two integrals called the Poisson integral. The first is also known as Bessel's second integral,
 |
(1)
|
where 
is a Bessel
function of the first kind and 
is a gamma function. It can be derived from Sonine's
integral. With 
, the integral becomes Parseval's
integral.
In complex analysis, let

of the closed disk
