I don't see that your expression at least as you wrote it above can be
integrated between the k values of 4 to 25, however if your k value is
negative, the expression (and the integral) has an analytical solution:
-((((a^2*k)/(1 - a^2 + k))^((1 - k)/2)*gamma(k/2))/-((-1 +
k)^1.5*(1/k)^(k/2)*gamma((-1 + k)/2)))
That's all I can help with, sorry. maybe someone with more mathematical
skills can help you out better.
