How can i evaluate this surface integral? (It has some singularities)

1 view (last 30 days)
Im trying to integrate the following function over X (0->Pi) and then y (0-> 2*Pi).
When i create a surface (x,y,z) after a very fine meshgrid (1000 x 1000), i see what appears to be 4 very sharp singularities.
Is there any way to evaluate this integral by ignoring or smoothing over those singularities?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FYI i am using matlab 2011b.

When I split the integral up into regions with difficult parts (a couple of circles) on the boundaries, I can get QUAD2D and INTEGRAL2 to integrate over the regions only if I cap the values of the integrand function (z(z>M) = M and z(z<-M)=-M). Because the value of the integral increases steadily as I increase M (until the integration fails because of numerical or minimum step size issues), I don't think the singularities are integrable, i.e. whatever you do to mitigate the singularities will probably just change the problem to an easier problem with a different answer.
