The Thomas-Fermi equation with dimensionless variables is identified as; $$ \frac{d^2\phi}{dx^2} = \frac{\phi^{3/2}}{x^{1/2}} $$ with the boundary conditions as $$ \phi(0) = 1 \\ \phi(\infty) = 0. $$ There are many series approximation solutions available to this equation. I am interested in finding the integral representation for the solution of this differential equation. Are there any literature sources available in this direction?

You have lectures notes on Density Functional Theory by Andrei Postnikov that may answer your question, in particular chapter 1 eq (1.16) http://www.home.uni-osnabrueck.de/apostnik/lectures.html it is
