Given that the inverse trigonometric function assumes principal values only. Let xxx, yyy be any two real numbers in [−1,1][-1,1][−1,1] such that cos⁡−1x−sin⁡−1y=α,−π2≤α≤π\cos ^{-1} x-\sin ^{-1} y=\alpha, \frac{-\pi}{2} \leq \alpha \leq \picos−1x−sin−1y=α,2−π​≤α≤π.

Then, the minimum value of x2+y2+2xysin⁡αx^2+y^2+2 x y \sin \alphax2+y2+2xysinα is
