Lebesgue-integrability on a compact set

improper-integralslebesgue-integralmeasure-theoryreal-analysis

Let $f: [-1, 1]^2 \to \mathbb{R}$, with
$$
f(x, y) = \begin{cases}
\frac{x^2 – y^2}{(x^2 + y^2)^2}, & (x, y) \ne (0, 0) \\
0, & (x, y) = (0, 0)
\end{cases}
$$

I want to verify if $f$ is Lebesgue-integrable over $[-1, 1]^2$.

I have yet determined that the $\int f = \pi$, so I assume f to be $\lambda_2$ integrable.

Now I am trying to find a theorem to prove my assumption.

Tonelli requires $f$ to be non-negative, but $f(x, y) < 0$ for $x < y$.

Should I better use the fact that $f$ is improper Lebesgue-integrable only if $|f|$ is an improper Riemann-integrable function, and show the improper Riemann-integrability from $|f|$ first?
Perhaps there may be a better approach to solve that problem.

Kindly regards

The function is not Lebesgue integrable.

Denote $A$ the integral of the absolute value of the function.Then $$ A=\int_{[-1,1]}\int_{[-1,1]}\frac{|x^2-y^2|}{(x^2+y^2)^2}dxdy$$ $$\geq \int_{B((0,1)}\frac{|x^2-y^2|}{(x^2+y^2)^2}dxdy$$

Now use polar coordinates and the fact that $\int_0^{2\pi}|\cos^2{x}-\sin^2{x}|dx=4$
