Abstract
This paper derives new integral representations for products of two parabolic cylinder functions. In particular, expressions are obtained for D_{nu}(x)D_{mu}(y), with x>0 and y>0, that allow for different orders and arguments in the two parabolic cylinder functions. Also, two integral representations are obtained for D_{nu}(-x)D_{mu}(y) by employing the connection between the parabolic cylinder function and the Kummer confluent hypergeometric function. The integral representations are specialized for products of two complementary error functions and of two modified Bessel functions of the second kind of order 1/4, as well as for the product of a parabolic cylinder function and a modified Bessel function of the first kind of order 1/4.
