Homework Statement


I'm studying the non-linear effect of power amplifier on multicarrier siganl. I have come across an complex integral which is given below, but not able to figure out how to solve it analytically.

Homework Equations



I=\frac{A^2}{2\sigma_x^4}\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{r^3}{r^2+A^2}\exp(\frac{j\pi}{3}\frac{r^2}{r^2+A^2}-\frac{r^2}{2\sigma_x^2})dr

Please help me solve this integral.

have you considered the method of residues?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
