Let lix denote the logarithmic integral
lix=∫x0dtlnt.
Consider the following parameterized integral:
I(a)=∫10(−lixx)adx.
Can we find a closed form for this integral?
We can find some special values of this integral:
I(0)=1,I(1)=1,I(2)=π26,I(3)?=7ζ(3)2
The last value was suggested by numeric computations, and I do not yet have a proof for it.
Can we prove the conjectured value of I(3)?
One could expect that I(4) might be a simple rational (or at least algebraic) multiple of π4 but I could not find such a form.
Can we find closed forms for I(4),I(5) and other small integer arguments?
