Solve Complicated Integral: Get Professional Help

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a complicated integral that the original poster is struggling to solve analytically, despite having found numerical solutions using Matlab and Mathematica. Key points include the need for clarification on parameters j and a, with suggestions that j should be non-positive and a non-negative for the integral to exist. Participants discuss using the residue theorem and completing the square as potential methods for finding an analytical solution. There is also mention of the Fresnel integral, though it is noted to be difficult to understand. The conversation highlights the challenges in finding a true path for the residue and the importance of proper mathematical tools and techniques.

Hello, is j negative, and do you know if a is non-zero or positive? I think this integral only exists if j is non-positive and a is non-negative.

j=sqrt(-1) and a is positive
I solved this integral numerically and i found the exact result in both Matlab and Mathematica program but I need analytical solution. I tried residue theorem but result didn't match numeric solutions.I asked some mathematicians but they couldn't find true path for the residue and i look ryzik integral book i coulnd't find.

sqrt;squareroot
Thank you for your connection
 
Calculus of residues perhaps?
 
yes Calculus of residues but true path is important
may be fresnel integral can solve this problem but diffucult to understand. :(
 
You could complete the square and see if that might help you.

What do you mean by true path?
 
can you help me to solve using square
 
x^{2}-2rx=(x-r)^{2}-r^{2}
 
:) ok
i will try

What program did you write those equations in if you don't mind Canerg?

Hi BackEMF this is my Matlab code you can use quad instead of quade

%clc; clear all
lamda=1.55e-6;
k=2*pi/lamda;
a=10000;
r=1e-2;L=1000;
f=@(x)(1./(1+a*x.^2).*exp(i*k/(2*L)*(x.^2-2*x*r)));%% integral by numerical solution
numerical=quade(f,-inf,inf)

Hi Canerg, sorry I wasn't clear enough. I meant the equations you submitted in PDF, do you mind telling me what typsetting program did you use?
