Hi everyone,

Consider this line:

Assuming[{\[Beta] \[Element] Reals, \[Eta] \[Element] 
   Reals, \[Lambda] \[Element] Reals, k \[Element] Integers, 
  x \[Element] Reals, 
  y \[Element] Reals, \[Lambda] > 0, \[Beta] > 0, \[Eta] > 0, k >= 0},
  Integrate[
  y^k Exp[-(y/\[Beta])^2]*
   Exp[-(\[Lambda] (
       x - y)/\[Eta])^2], {y, -\[Infinity], \[Infinity]}]]

which is the moment convolution of two Gaussians. The answers I get in
M6 and M7 are completely different!

Is there something I am doing wrong here ?

Regards to all

Jack
