I would like to integrate int d^3 vec(k) int d^3 vec(q) (1)/(q^2) under the condition that |vec(k) |<=A and |vec(k) +vec(q)| <=A where A is some constant. Is this executable?

I would like to integrate
d 3 k d 3 q 1 q 2
under the condition that
| k | A       and       | k + q | A
where A is some constant.
Is this executable?

This integral is in fact analytically tractable.
Denote | k | = k for any vector and first consider a change of variables q + k = R p , R T R = 1 such that R T k = k z ^ and then regular spherical coordinates. Then we obtain
| q + k | A d 3 q 1 q 2 = p A d 3 p 1 ( p k z ^ ) 2 = 2 π 0 A q 2 d q 1 1 d ( cos θ ) 1 q 2 + k 2 2 q k cos θ = 2 π k 0 A q d q ln | q + k q k | = π A 2 k ( ln A + k A k + 1 + k 2 A 2 ln A 2 k 2 k 2 )
This can be integrated once again without problem in spherical coordinates,since it depends only on the magnitude of the vector k:
k A d 3 k π A 2 k ( ln A + k A k + 1 + k 2 A 2 ln A 2 k 2 k 2 ) = 4 π 2 A 4 0 1 x d x ( ln 1 + x 1 x + 1 + x 2 ln 1 x 2 x 2 ) = 4 π 2 A 4 ( 5 6 2 3 ln 2 )
