Primitive of x over Hyperbolic Cosine of a x minus 1

Theorem

 * $\ds \int \frac {x \rd x} {\cosh a x - 1} = -\frac x a \coth \frac {a x} 2 + \frac 2 {a^2} \ln \size {\sinh \frac {a x} 2} + C$

Proof
With a view to expressing the primitive in the form:
 * $\ds \int u \frac {\d v} {\d x} \rd x = u v - \int v \frac {\d u} {\d x} \rd x$

let:

and let:

Then:
