Can Mathematica Solve the Integral for Exponential Functions?

In summary, the conversation discusses the difficulty in solving certain integrals using Mathematica. The integrals in question involve exponential functions with trigonometric terms, and while Mathematica is unable to solve some of them, it can solve others. The conversation also mentions a known integral that Mathematica cannot solve, but it is able to solve a simpler integral. The speaker is seeking help and insight on the matter.

Hello all,

I am trying to solve an integral with Mathematica, but I do not succeed. I am wondering whether the integral cannot be solved, or whether Mathematica cannot solve the integral, or whether I am doing something wrong.

Details:

* Mathematica does not seem to be able to solve the integral below:

With[{fx = fr Cos[ft],
fy = fr Sin[ft]}, \[ExponentialE]^(-2 \[Pi]^2 ((f^2 + fx^2) sx^2 +
fy^2 sy^2)) Cosh[4 f fx \[Pi]^2 sx^2]]
Integrate[%^2, {ft, 0, 2 Pi}]

* For sx = sy, Mathematica can solve the integral:

With[{fx = fr Cos[ft], fy = fr Sin[ft],
sx = sy}, \[ExponentialE]^(-2 \[Pi]^2 ((f^2 + fx^2) sx^2 +
fy^2 sy^2)) Cosh[4 f fx \[Pi]^2 sx^2]]
Integrate[%^2, {ft, 0, 2 Pi}]

\[ExponentialE]^(-4 (f^2 + fr^2) \[Pi]^2 sy^2) \[Pi] (1 +
BesselI[0, 8 f fr \[Pi]^2 sy^2])

* I am suspicious because Mathematica also does not solve the following known integral:

Integrate[Exp[x Cos[t] + y Sin[t]], {t, 0, 2 Pi}]

which equals

2 \[Pi] BesselI[0, Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]]

* However, Mathematica does solve the integral below

Integrate[Exp[x Cos[t]], {t, 0, 2 Pi}]

2 \[Pi] BesselI[0, x]

Any help and/or insight is appreciated.
