Homework Statement
Calculate the integral [tex] I(k)= \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{dx}{(x^{2}+1)^{k}} [/tex] with 'k' being a real number
Homework Equations
the integral equation aboveThe Attempt at a Solution
from the residue theorem , there is a pole of order one at [tex] 2+ix=0 [/tex] , my problem is the pole of order 'k' at s=i and s=-i , in order to handel with this pole i have thought that using residue theorem
[tex] \frac{1}{\Gamma(s)}D^{k-1}((s-i)^{k}\frac{1}{(x^{2}+1)^{k}} [/tex]
evaluated at both s=i and s=-i
