I want to do the integral :
I(s)=∫∞0y2eyesy+e−sy−2dy
s being a complex parameter. I tried expanding the dominator of the integrand, but this way we lose the symmetry I(s)=I(−s). I tried converting the integral into a contour integral, but I don't know how to close the contour.
Answer
For the integral
I(s)=∫∞0y2eydyesy−2+e−sy
it is evident that when s→−s the result yields I(−s)=I(s). For the evaluation of the integral consider the following.
By making use of
1(1−x)2=∞∑n=0(n+1)xn
then
I(s)=∫∞0y2eydy(esy/2−e−sy/2)2=∫∞0y2e−(s−1)ydy(1−e−sy)2=∞∑n=0(n+1)∫∞0e−(sn+s−1)yy2dy=∞∑n=0n+1(sn+s−1)3∫∞0e−uu2du=2s3∞∑n=0n+1(n+p)3p=1−1s=2s3[∞∑n=01(n+p)2+1s∞∑n=01(n+p)3]=1s4[2sψ(1)(1−1s)−ψ(2)(1−1s)]
where ψ(m)(x) are mth derivative of the digamma function.
