so that we have

Now we may differentiate m times as to ʃ under the integral
sign because the integral and its first m — 1 derivatives
vanish for t=s. Writing then s—tu in that u≥l we obtain
the equivalent form

But it is readily proved by induction that

Substituting, we obtain the stated final explicit formula
