Solve Convoluted Integral with Gauss Hypergeometric function

44 Views Asked by At

I'm working on an operator problem that requires solving the following complicated integral, involving the Gauss Hypergeometric function \begin{equation} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^0 \frac{1}{\sinh^2(x)} f^*(\nu, k ,b, x, y) \, f(\nu, k, b, x,y)\, dx \, dy \end{equation} where \begin{equation} f(\nu, k, b, x, y) = e^{- i k y} e^{ x(k-b)} (1-e^{2x})^{\frac{1}{2}+ i \nu} \text{ }_2 F_1 \left(\frac{1}{2} +k + i \nu, \frac{1}{2} -b + i \nu, 1+k-b, e^{2x} \right) \end{equation} I've attempted to solve it with the aid of software to no avail, and have sought integral identities involving the Hypergeometric function that may soften this up, but so far I haven't found anything that could be of particular use.

Can someone more experienced with Hypergeometric functions help me solve this?
