Discuss the convergence of this integral by varying the parameter

a>=0
integral from 0 to + infinity of : log(x^4)/(|x^4-1|)^a

Okay; let's discuss. What are your thoughts? What have you tried? How far have you gotten? Where are you getting stuck?

Please be complete. Thank you!

@Marcello, please double check to be sure that the question is posted correctly .
[imath]\displaystyle\int_0^\infty {\frac{{\log \left( {{x^4}} \right)}}{{{{\left( {\left| {{x^4} - 1} \right|} \right)}^a}}}dx} ,\;a \geqslant 0[/imath]
