How can I find the antiderivative of this complicated Bessel function?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding the antiderivative of the function f(x) = J_{0}(ax)J_{1}(bx) / (x + x^{4}), where J_{0} and J_{1} are Bessel functions of the first kind. Participants suggest employing principles from complex analysis, specifically the residue formula for the roots of (1 + x^3) in the denominator. The function is noted to be continuous around zero, with J_0(0) = 0 and J_1(0) = 1 indicating a point discontinuity. This highlights the importance of understanding both Bessel functions and complex analysis techniques in solving the integral.

I am struggling to find the antiderivative of the following function:
<br /> f(x)=\frac{J_{0}(ax)J_{1}(bx) }{x+x^{4} }<br /> \\<br /> J_{0},{~}J_{1} : Bessel{~}functions{~}of{~}the{~}first{~}kind\\<br /> a, b: constants<br /> \\<br /> F(x)=\int_{}^{} \! f(x) \, dx =?
Who can help?

I think you should use some principles from complex analysis.
##J_0(0) = 0##, ##J_1(0) = 1##, So This function should be continuous around zero with a point discontinuity.
I would recommend using the residue formula for the roots of (1+ x^3) in the denominator.
