In the paper we present closed and unified expressions for a sequence of improper integrals in terms of the beta function and the Wallis ratio. Hereafter, we derive integral representations for the Catalan numbers originating from combinatorics.
Keywords: improper integral; closed expression; unified expression; beta function; Wallis ratio; integral representation; Catalan number.
