Primitive of x by Arccosecant of x over a

Theorem

 * $\ds \int x \arccsc \frac x a \rd x = \begin{cases}

\dfrac {x^2} 2 \arccsc \dfrac x a + \dfrac {a \sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } 2 + C & : 0 < \arccsc \dfrac x a < \dfrac \pi 2 \\ \dfrac {x^2} 2 \arccsc \dfrac x a - \dfrac {a \sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } 2 + C & : -\dfrac \pi 2 < \arccsc \dfrac x a < 0 \\ \end{cases}$

Proof
With a view to expressing the primitive in the form:
 * $\ds \int u \frac {\d v} {\d x} \rd x = u v - \int v \frac {\d u} {\d x} \rd x$

let:

and let:

First let $\arccsc \dfrac x a$ be in the interval $\openint 0 {\dfrac \pi 2}$.

Then:

Similarly, let $\arccsc \dfrac x a$ be in the interval $\openint {-\dfrac \pi 2} 0$.

Then:
