Integrate $xoperatorname{erf}^{,3}(x),e^{-x^2},dx$

$begingroup$


Looking for a way to perform this integral related to the error function.
I am thinking an answer in closed form cannot be done, but hoping I missed something.



$$
int xoperatorname{erf}^{,3}(x),e^{-x^2}dx
$$



Edit:



Yuriy : It comes from calculations related to linear moments.

Ives : Thanks, following integration by parts, we have



$int u,dv = uv-int v,du$



$u=x,operatorname{erf}(x)$
$du=operatorname{erf}(x)+frac{2x}{sqrt{pi}}e^{-x^2}dx$



$v=frac{pi}{6}operatorname{erf}^3(x)$
$dv=operatorname{erf}^2(x),e^{-x^2}dx$



$int xoperatorname{erf}^{,3}(x),e^{-x^2},dx = frac{sqrt{pi}}{6},x,e^{-x^2}operatorname{erf}^{,3}(x)-frac{sqrt{pi}}{6},int operatorname{erf}^3(x)[operatorname{erf}(x)+frac{2}{sqrt{pi}}xe^{-x^2}]dx$
$=frac{sqrt{pi}}{4}xoperatorname{erf}^4(x)-frac{sqrt{pi}}{4}int operatorname{erf}^{,4}(x)dx$



Then the challenge becomes how to solve:



$$
int operatorname{erf}^{,4}(x),dx
$$



Edit 2:



Able to simplify(?) a bit more:



$int operatorname{erf}^{,4}(x),dx = xoperatorname{erf}^{,4}(x)+frac{4}{sqrt{pi}}e^{-x^2}operatorname{erf}^{,3}(x)-frac{24}{pi}int operatorname{erf}^{,2}(x)e^{-2x^2}dx$



Now the challenge becomes how to solve:



$$
int operatorname{erf}^{,2}(x)e^{-2x^2}dx
$$

    Integration by parts can reduce the integrand to $text{erf }^4(x)$, indeed not manageable.
