For a fixed outer radius b≪a and h=aϵ+r2/(2a),
∫0b​hnr2n−1​dr=2n−1anlog(1/ϵ)+O(an),n≥1.
(1)
Indeed, for aϵ​≪r≪b the integrand is (2a)n/r; integrating from a scale proportional to aϵ​ to b produces half of log(1/ϵ). The inner region contributes a bounded term after rescaling r=aϵ​s. In particular, ∫h−1dxdy and ∫x2/(ah2)dxdy have the same leading coefficient 2πa.
