I have never seen a real-analytic approach to evaluate integrals of the form below $$\int_a^b\text{elementary function}(x)\,dx=\text{constant non-trivially involving}\,W(\cdot)\tag1$$ The elementary function must be continuous in the interval of integration. The constant, and limits of integration should not be engineered to contain $W$; e.g. writing $1$ as $W(k)/W(k)$, and expressing the constant as $W(ke^k)$ for some elementary $k$ is not accepted.
For instance, on MSE, all use the residue theorem:
Interesting integral related to the Omega Constant/Lambert W Function
Evaluate $\int_{0}^{\infty} \ln(1+\frac{2\cos x}{x^2} +\frac{1}{x^4}) \, dx$
And the same applies to literature I have come across:
Stieltjes, Poisson and other integral representations for functions of Lambert W
An Integral Representation of the Lambert $W$ Function Note: the proof is real-analytic, but the very first line assumes the validity of an integral identity which was only proven using complex analysis (Hankel contour).
So, my question is this (cross-posted from MSE):
Does anyone know of a self-contained proof of an identity of the form in $(1)$ that involves only real analysis (i.e. does not assume the existence of $\sqrt{-1}$)?
