guys
can u please help me out in calculating the posterior distib of the gamma function of form :

p(lambda/alpha,beta) = (beta^alpha)*lambda^(alpha-1)*(e^(-beta*lamda)))/gamma(a)

lambda>0 mean=alpha/beta mode = (alpha-1)/beta ;alpha>0

the integration seems really tuff which makes me feel tht I am going in the wrong direction.. can u guys help me out with this please...

I have no idea what you mean by the distribution of the Gamma function. The Gamma function has a Dirac distribution (same as saying it is deterministic). If you mean the Gamma distribution (you equation kinda looks like it), you may want to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_distribution
I would kindly ask that you use LaTex when writing equations or using simple constant/variables like a,b,c,d,e... I can't decipher the equation.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
