\[ \int_{0}^{\inf} \frac{e^{-\frac{(x-a)^2}{b}}}{x^2-c^2} dx\] or \[ \int_{0}^{constant} \frac{e^{-\frac{(x-a)^2}{b}}}{x^2-c^2} dx\]

maybe application Residue theorem integral ? because this problem same the kramers kronig relation?

The "residue theorem" applies to functions of a complex variable. Are you planning to rewrite the function as a function of a complex variable, with path of integration the x-axis from x- R to x+ R and the semicircle $z= R \cos(\theta)+ iR \sin(\theta)4$ and then take R going to infinity?

If b and c are real numbers then you path will need to loop around b and c on the real line. Whether your loops include b and c or not you will need to calculate the integral over those small semi-circles.
 
For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
