Ratio-product coordinates

ID: ratio-product-coordinates

On the positive quadrant, the inverse coordinate change is , . Its Jacobian determinant is . Regions bounded by positive constant-ratio lines and constant-product hyperbolas become rectangles in these coordinates. An integrand then cancels the Jacobian factor, making weighted area integrals particularly simple. The positivity restriction selects a unique square-root branch and fixes orientation.
