Analytical integration gives no output

Posted 4 months ago

Please help in

Integrate[
 Sinh[x]/((Cosh[x] + Cosh[b])*(h^2 - x^2)), {x, 0, \[Infinity]}]

This integration is used by condensed matter communities. Do you think residues theorem may help

I doubt there's a closed-form for the Integral. Another maybe simple solution:

Your integral never converges, because of its behaviour as x->h:

Asymptotic[Sinh[x]/((Cosh[x] + Cosh[b])*(h^2 - x^2)), x -> h]

Setting values for $b$ and $h$ results in warnings that the integration doesn't converge on $(0,\infty)$. Here's an example:

Integrate[Sinh[x]/((Cosh[x] + Cosh[b])*(h^2 - x^2)) /. {h -> 1, b -> 1}, {x, 0, \[Infinity]}]

Integrate::idiv: Integral of -(Sinh[x]/((-1+x^2) (Cosh[1]+Cosh[x]))) does not converge on {0,[Infinity]}.

Do you have some reason to think the integral exists for either specific values of $h$ and $b$ or on a different interval?
