$x^2+y^2+z^2\leq 4$,

$2x^2+2y^2-2z^2\geq 1$,

$2z^2\geq x^2+y^2$

I just really can't figure out the limits of integration… any hint would be great

—–edit—-

Spherical coordinates:

$x=\rho \sin\varphi \cos\theta$

$y=\rho \sin\varphi \sin\theta$

$z = \rho \cos\varphi$

From sphere: $\rho ^2 \leq 4$ or $\rho \leq 2$.

From hyperboloid: $ 2\rho ^2( \sin^2\varphi – \cos^2 \varphi)\geq 1$

From cone: $\rho ^2(2 \cos^2\varphi – \sin^2 \varphi)\geq 0$

Intersection of sphere and hyperboloid, I got the ellipse:

$\frac{x^2}{\frac{9}{4}}+\frac{y^2}{\frac{9}{4}}=1$ or in spherical coordinates: $\rho^2 \sin^2\varphi=\frac{9}{4}$

Let's consider the region above $z = 0$. Due to symmetry the volume bound is same above and below $z = 0$.

The region is defined by,

a) $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 \leq 4$

In spherical coordinates, $\rho \leq 2$ (the sphere)

b) $2x^2+2y^2-2z^2\geq 1$

In spherical coordinates, $ - 2 \rho^2 \cos 2\phi\geq 1$

c) $2 z^2 \geq x^2 + y^2$

In spherical coordinates, $ \tan \phi \leq \sqrt2$

At intersection of hyperboloid and sphere,

$-8 \cos2\phi = 1$ (plugging in $\rho = 2$ in $(b)$)

So, $\cos 2\phi = - \frac{1}{8}$

Notice that this is the region which is outside the hyperboloid and inside the cone and the sphere.

So, $ \sqrt{- (\sec 2\phi) / 2} \leq \rho \leq 2$ (please note for the given limits of $\phi$, $\sec 2\phi$ is negative and so the value inside the square root is positive).

$\arccos \left(\frac{\sqrt7}{4}\right) \leq \phi \leq \arccos \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt3}\right)$ (the lower bound is same as $\cos 2 \phi \leq - 1/8$ and the upper bound is same as $\tan \phi \leq \sqrt2$. I have just rewritten them differently).

$0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi$

Can you take it from here?
