Use the Laplace kernel method to write integral representations in the complex tt-plane for two linearly independent solutions of the confluent hypergeometric equation

zd2w(z)dz2+(cz)dw(z)dzaw(z)=0z \frac{d^{2} w(z)}{d z^{2}}+(c-z) \frac{d w(z)}{d z}-a w(z)=0

in the case that Re(z)>0,Re(c)>Re(a)>0,a\operatorname{Re}(z)>0, \operatorname{Re}(c)>\operatorname{Re}(a)>0, a and cac-a are not integers.
