How do I integrate $$\int _{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\tan^{-1}(2x-2)}{\cosh(\pi x)}dx\quad ?$$
The actual integral that I encountered is:
$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty dx \left(\frac{N}{\cosh(\frac{\pi }{c}(x-1))}+\frac{1}{\cosh(\frac{\pi}{c}x)} \right) 2 \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2x-2}{c} \right)$$ where c is a constant with $$\Re c>0$$ Not sure if these two terms makes it easier.
I was trying to solve just the last term, but I couldn't make any progress. Numerical integration gives $\int _{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\tan^{-1}(2x-2)}{\cosh(\pi x)}dx= -1.01334 $. Any hint on how to do it analytically?
