Fourier-cosine transform of hyperbolic function

4 views (last 30 days)
Could you help me please with the Fourier cosine transform with respect to x variable of the following function?
tanh[b(a^2+x^2)^1/2]cos(ax)/((a^2+x^2)^1/2)
Recall, that the Fourier cosine transform of the function f(x) defines by
int(f(x),0,infinity)

If there is any solution at all, it would have to involve a transformation of variables. I tried a number of different representations of tanh() but none of them had an analytical solution for the fourier cosine transform.

And what you think can it be solved by Symbolic Toolbox?

I would not expect so, but I cannot rule it out. There are some known cases where the MATLAB Symbolic Toolbox can integrate some things that Maple cannot, but I have only seen one such case myself, and I have seen a number of integrals that Maple can handle easily that the Symbolic Toolbox cannot.
If you do not already have the Symbolic Toolbox you could request a trial of it to test with.
