Evaluate $\int_0^\infty \frac{(\mathrm{e}^{-ax}-\mathrm{e}^{-bx})^2}{x^2}dx=\ln\frac{(2a)^{2a}(2b)^{2b}}{(a+b)^{2(a+b)}} $ 
(1) Prove that$$\int_0^\infty \frac{(\mathrm{e}^{-ax}-\mathrm{e}^{-bx})^2}{x^2}\mathrm{d}x=\ln\frac{(2a)^{2a}(2b)^{2b}}{(a+b)^{2(a+b)}}$$
(2) Prove that$$\int_0^\infty \frac{\mathrm{e}^{-ax^2}-\mathrm{e}^{-bx^2}}{x^2}\mathrm{d}x=\frac{1}{2}\ln\frac{b}{a} $$

I just learned improper integral with parameters and worked out a basic example below
$$
\int_0^\infty \frac{\mathrm{e}^{-ax}-\mathrm{e}^{-bx}}{x}\mathrm{d}x=\ln\frac{b}{a}
$$
But I do not know how to compute the two integrals above. I think the basic example may be of some help and tried integration by parts, inspired by $\int_0^\infty\frac{\sin x}{x}\mathrm{d}x$ and $\int_0^\infty\frac{\sin^2 x}{x^2}\mathrm{d}x$.
Any hint is appreciated.
 A: Write $\frac{1}{x^2}=\int_0^\infty ye^{-xy}dy$ so the LHS of (1) is$$\begin{align}&\int_0^\infty dy\:y\int_0^\infty dx(e^{-(2a+y)x}-2e^{-(a+b+y)x}+e^{-(2b+y)x})\\&=\int_0^\infty dy\:y\left(\frac{1}{2a+y}-\frac{2}{a+b+y}+\frac{1}{2b+y}\right).\end{align}$$You can handle (2) the same way, thought it helps to first replace $\int_0^\infty$ with $\tfrac12\int_{-\infty}^\infty$, so you just have to evaluate Gaussians on $\Bbb R$.
A: As fjaclot says, $(2)$ is wrong. Making the substitution $u = x\sqrt{a}$ yields $$\sqrt{a}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{e^{-u^{2}}-e^{-tu^{2}}}{u^{2}}du$$ where $t = \frac{b}{a}$. Let $f(t)$ be the integral. Then $$f'(t) = \int_0^{\infty} e^{-tu^2} du = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2\sqrt{t}}$$
Since $f(1) = 0$, $(2)$ is $$\sqrt{a}\left( \sqrt{\pi t}-\sqrt{\pi} \right) = \sqrt{\pi}\left(\sqrt{b}-\sqrt{a}\right)$$
Similarly for $(1)$, make the substitution $u=ax$ and let $f(t) = \int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{\left(e^{-u}-e^{-tu}\right)^{2}}{u^{2}}du$. Then $$f'(t) = 2\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{e^{-\left(1+t\right)u}-e^{-2tu}}{u}du$$
Then you can apply that formula you found so that $$f'(t) = 2 \ln\left( \frac{2t}{1+t} \right) = 2\ln\left(2t\right)-2\ln\left(1+t\right)$$
The integral is then $f(t) = 2t\ln\left( \frac{2t}{t+1} \right)-2\ln(t+1)+2\ln(2)$. Therefore the answer for $(1)$ is $af\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)$ which simplifies to $$\ln\left(\frac{(2a)^{2a}(2b)^{2b}}{(a+b)^{2(a+b)}}\right)$$
A: Integrate (1) by parts with $\frac{dx}{x^2}=-d(\frac1x)$,
\begin{align}
&\int_0^\infty \frac{(\mathrm{e}^{-ax}-\mathrm{e}^{-bx})^2}{x^2}dx\\
= &2a \int_0^\infty \frac{{e}^{-(a+b)x}-{e}^{-2ax}}{x}dx
 + 2b \int_0^\infty \frac{{e}^{-(a+b)x}-{e}^{-2bx}}{x}dx\\
= &2a \ln \frac{2a}{a+b} + 2b \ln \frac{2b}{a+b} 
=\ln\frac{(2a)^{2a}(2b)^{2b}}{(a+b)^{2(a+b)}}
\end{align}
where $
\int_0^\infty \frac{\mathrm{e}^{-px }-\mathrm{e}^{-qx }}{x}\mathrm{d}x=\ln\frac{q}{p}
$ is used.
Integrate (2) by parts
$$\int_0^\infty \frac{{e}^{-ax^2}-{e}^{-bx^2}}{x^2}{d}x=
2\int_0^\infty (b{e}^{-bx^2}-a{e}^{-ax^2})dx=
\sqrt{\pi}(\sqrt b-\sqrt a) $$
where $\int_0^\infty e^{-px^2} =\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2\sqrt p}$ is used
A: The answer for integral (2) is not correct.
It should be :
     (Pi)^(1/2) [ (b)^(1/2) - (a)^(1/2) ]

A: $I=\int_0^\infty\frac{(e^{-ax}-e^{-bx})^2}{x^2}dx=\int_0^\infty(e^{-ax}-e^{-bx})^2d\frac{1}{x}=\frac{e^{-ax}-e^{-bx}}{x}\Big|_0^\infty-\int_0^\infty\frac{2(e^{-ax}-e^{-bx})(-ae^{-ax}+be^{-bx})}{x}dx$
$=-\int_0^\infty\frac{2(e^{-ax}-e^{-bx})(-ae^{-ax}+be^{-bx})}{x}dx
=-2\int_0^\infty\frac{1}{x}(-ae^{-2ax}+ae^{-(a+b)x}+be^{-(a+b)x}-be^{-2bx})dx$
$=2(a\int_0^\infty\frac{1}{x}(e^{-(a+b)x}-e^{-2ax})dx+b\int_0^\infty\frac{1}{x}(e^{-2bx}-e^{-(a+b)x})dx$
by Frullani integral
$\int_0^\infty\frac{1}{x}(e^{-(a+b)x}-e^{-2ax})dx=\ln(\frac{2a}{a+b})$
$\int_0^\infty\frac{1}{x}(e^{-2bx}-e^{-(a+b)x})=\ln(\frac{a+b}{2b})$
so $I=2(a\ln(\frac{2a}{a+b})-b\ln(\frac{a+b}{2b}))=\ln\frac{(2a)^{2a}(2b)^{2b}}{(a+b)^{a+b}}
$
