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+(c−z)dw(z)dz−aw(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 c−ac-a are not integers.
