For every $x,y\in\mathbb R$ let $$ V(x,y) \,\equiv\, a\,x^{2n} + b\,y^{2m} - \omega(x,y)\,$$ where $a,b>0$, $n,m\in\mathbb N$, $n\geq m\geq1$, and $\omega$ is such that $\omega(x,y)/(x^{2n}+y^{2m})...

I would like a proof of the following equation below, where $(P_n)$ denotes Legendre polynomials. I guess this formula to hold; I checked the first several values. \begin{equation} \int_{-1}^{1}\sqrt{...
