MHB Find Analytic Expression for Integral with Approximations

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding a closed-form or analytic expression for a specific integral involving exponential functions and constants. Participants are encouraged to share their insights on how to approach the problem, particularly in terms of techniques or methods that could simplify the integral. The integral includes parameters x, y, and z, which are constants independent of the variable r. The complexity of the integral suggests that advanced mathematical methods may be necessary for a solution. Engaging with the community could lead to collaborative problem-solving and potential breakthroughs in deriving the expression.

Find the closed form (or) analytic expression form for the following integral

$$
\hspace{0.3cm} \large {\int_{0} ^{\infty} \frac{\frac{1}{x^4} \hspace{0.1cm} e^{- \frac{r}{x^2}}\hspace{0.1cm}e^{- \frac{r}{z^2}} }{ \frac{1}{x^2} \hspace{0.1cm} e^{- \frac{r}{x^2}}+ \frac{1}{y^2} \hspace{0.1cm} e^{- \frac{r}{y^2}}}} dr \hspace{.2cm} ; \hspace{1cm} x>0,y>0,z>0 $$ where $ x $ ,$ y $ and $z $ are constants and independent of $ r $.

Hi venkaiah and welcome to MHB! :D

Any thoughts on how to begin?
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
