What are the constrains on x,y? Like |xy|<1,....

|x|<1, |y|<1

Does (\sum_{i,j>=0} x^i y^j) * (\sum_{k>=0} x^k y^k) help?

Same trick, split the sum into two cases
i <= j (introduce index l = 0..\infty : j = i+l )
and j < i (introduce index m = 1..\infty : i = j+m ) to get

\sum_{i=0} (i+1) (xy)^i \sum{l=0} y^l
+ \sum_{j=0} (j+1) (xy)^j \sum{m=1} x^m

and simplify....
