calculus - Integral largeint10fracln2lnleft(frac1xright)1+x+x2dx



Gradshteyn & Ryzhik, 7th ed., p. 570, formula 4.325(5) give the following definite integral:

10lnln(1x)1+x+x2dx=π3ln32πΓ(23)Γ(13)=π3(4ln2π3ln322lnΓ(13))


This and other similar integrals are discussed in several papers:




  • Vardi, Integrals, an introduction to analytic number theory. Am. Math. Mon. 95, 308–315 (1988)

  • Adamchik, A class of logarithmic integrals. Proceedings ISSAC, 1–8, 1997

  • Medina, Moll, A class of logarithmic integrals, Ramanujan J. 20 (2009), no. 1, 91–126

  • Blagouchine, Rediscovery of Malmsten's integrals, their evaluation by contour integration methods and some related results, Ramanujan J. 2014; 35: 21




Is it possible to find a closed form for a similar integral having the square of the logarithm in the numerator?
10ln2ln(1x)1+x+x2dx


Answer



You may write
10ln2ln(1x)1+x+x2dx=0(1et)ln2t1e3tetdt=n=00(ete2t)e3ntln2tdt=n=0(0e(3n+1)tln2tdt0e(3n+2)tln2tdt)=n=02s(0tse(3n+1)tdt0tse(3n+2)tdt)|s=0=2s(Γ(s+1)(n=01(3n+1)s+1n=01(3n+2)s+1))|s=0=2s(Γ(s+1)3s+1(ζ(s+1,13)ζ(s+1,23)))|s=0

Then, using the Laurent series expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function near 1, ζ(s+1,a)=1s+k=0(1)kk!γk(a)sk,a>0,s0,
with γ0(a)=ψ(a)=Γ(a)/Γ(a), we get




π3354+3π9(γ+ln3)2+23(γ+ln3)(γ1(13)γ1(23))+13(γ2(13)γ2(23)).





Observe that, as pointed out by Vladimir Reshetnikov, you can make the following substitution




γ1(13)γ1(23)=π3(6lnΓ(13)γ+ln324ln(2π)).
