Hi, Roberto,

You are right.
Now, I tried your integral on my machine, and it gave a definite analytic result:

Integrate[
 Sin[x/2]^2/x^2/(x^2 - 4*Pi^2)^2/(x^2 + a^2)^2, {x, -Infinity,
  Infinity}, Assumptions -> a > 0]

(3 E + 28 E \[Pi]^2 - 16 (-8 + E) \[Pi]^4 -
 64 (-4 + E) \[Pi]^6)/(64 E (\[Pi] + 4 \[Pi]^3)^3)

I do not like it, since it is independent of a.
Also this:

Integrate[
 Sin[x/2]^2/x^2/(x^2 - 4*Pi^2)^2/(x^2 + a^2)^2, {x, -Infinity,
  Infinity}, Assumptions -> a > 0, PrincipalValue -> True]

-(1/(64 E (\[Pi] +
    4 \[Pi]^3)^3))(8 I E^2 \[Pi]^3 (1 +
      4 \[Pi]^2) ExpIntegralEi[-1] -
   8 \[Pi]^3 (15 \[Pi] + 28 \[Pi]^3 + I ExpIntegralEi[1] +
      4 I \[Pi]^2 ExpIntegralEi[1]) +
   E (-3 - 28 \[Pi]^2 + 16 \[Pi]^4 + 64 \[Pi]^6 +
      16 I \[Pi]^(5/2)
        MeijerG[{{0, 0, 1/2}, {}}, {{0}, {}}, -2 I, 1/2] +
      64 I \[Pi]^(9/2)
        MeijerG[{{0, 0, 1/2}, {}}, {{0}, {}}, -2 I, 1/2]))

Shows no dependence upon a.

Further, this:

tbl = Table[{a,
   NIntegrate[
    Sin[x/2]^2/x^2/(x^2 - 4*Pi^2)^2/(x^2 + a^2)^2, {x, -Infinity,
     Infinity}]}, {a, 0.01, 3, 0.01}];

works and produces a table of values {a, int} that can be evaluated:

ListPlot[tbl]

and exhibits a dependence upon a.

The integrand has NO poles on the real axis : in x=+/-(2*Pi) the integrand assume zero value :

Limit[Sin[x/2]^2/(x^2 - 4 Pi^2), x -> 2 Pi]
0

(*Partial Fractions decomposition,  Fourier Integrals

The problem diagnostics:

Calculate

Integrate[ Sin[x/2]^2 / x^2 / (x^2-4*Pi^2 )^2 / (x^2 + a^2)^2 , {x,-oo,oo}, Assumptions-> a>0]

The integrand is nonnegative, has no poles on the real line and decays rapidly  ~ x^-10 as x->+-oo

Hi, Roland,

I checked your expression, it has a pole on the x axis. Check this

Sin[x/2]^2 / x^2 / (x^2-4*Pi^2 )^2 / (x^2 + a^2)^2//StandardForm

Could it be the case, that you have just written it down in a wrong way?
