Homework Statement
Hi, i need to integrate a function which has a very nice structure. however, in case i cannot do the same, i would need a bound on the value of the integral. The problem is basically a minmization problem with n parameters. Please follow the link to acquaint your self with the problem.

here, d_i and theta_i are the distances and angles of point (x,y) from (xi,yi)
The Attempt at a Solution
My attempt is as follows:
First of al, i could not directly integrate the function, so i tried to find a bound on it. I used the mod of the function (extension of triangle inequality) on the denominator to eliminate the sine squared in the denominator.
Upon doing that i tried to split the denominator through chebyshev sum inequality but didnt get anywhere.
I hope you can give me some insights into either solving the integral or getting a bound on its value.
thanks and regards
