# solve $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{e^{qiy -K(\sqrt{\lambda -a-iy}-\sqrt{\lambda})}}{a+iy}$?

Is there any way to solve this integral?

$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{e^{qiy -K(\sqrt{\lambda -a-iy}-\sqrt{\lambda})}}{a+iy} dy$$ where $K,\lambda, a$ and $q$ are real numbers and $K>0$, $a>0$, $\lambda > 0$ and $q<0$

I have tried the standard contour approaches, but the branch cut makes it complicated on the lower half plane, and the integrand grows unbounded on the upper half plane.

No assumptions on $a$ and $\lambda$? If we use the branch cut of the square root along the negative real axis, I suppose $\lambda-a$ had better have a positive real part. (And I find it easier to think of this as an integral along the imaginary axis wrt $z=iy$.) – Harald Hanche-Olsen Mar 28 '12 at 14:33
You are right, otherwise it will be even nastier. I forgot to write the assumptions for $\lambda$ and $\alpha$, I added them now. – Johnmimo Mar 28 '12 at 15:02
