I don't know how to evaluate your integral symbolically but, if you are simply trying to verify specific formulae, you could always check numerically. For example, if the integral that you present arose by subtracting the two sides of an equation, then you might wish to check if the resulting integral is zero. If you set a, b, and lam to specific values (I chose 1, 1, and 2) then it is not too hard to show the answer is no. Of course, I can't tell that for sure from your email that's what you want, but it still serves to illustrate the idea. Mark McClure
