TL;DR Summary
Seeking the solution of an integral over polar coordinates.
Hi,

I am trying to find open-form solutions to the integrals attached below. Lambda and Eta are positive, known constants, smaller than 10 (if it helps). I would appreciate any help! Thank you!

As for 1st integral after squared most of the terms are easily integrated except
-2 \int \sqrt{\lambda^2 \cos^2\theta + \eta^2 \sin^2\theta} \ d\theta
=-2\lambda\int \sqrt{1+a\sin^2\theta}\ d\theta
where
a = \frac{\eta^2-\lambda^2}{\lambda^2}> -1
Say ##\lambda > \eta## you may express the integrand as Taylor series terms of which are easily integrated. Say ##\lambda < \eta## you can do similar thing for integrand ##\sqrt{1+b \cos^2\theta}##. Similar Taylor expansion seem to apply for the 2nd integral also.

The last integral here looks like a multiple of the complete elliptic integral of the second kind. If a special function counts as an analytical solution, then you might be in luck. As for the logarithmic integral, I'm unclear if you can even find special functions.

For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
