sequences and series - Sum of Harmonic numbers sumlimitsinftyn=1fracH(2)n2nn2



Finding the closed form of:



n=1H(2)n2nn2



where, H(2)n=nk=11k2



It appears when we try to determine the summation n=1Hnn32n, using the generating function:




n=1Hnn3xn=12n=11n2nk=1(1x)kk2ζ(2)2Li2(x)+7ζ(4)814Li22(1x)+ζ2(2)4+Li4(x)+14log2xlog2(1x)+12logxlog(1x)Li2(1x)+ζ(3)logxlogxLi2(1x)
when we write, n=11n2nk=1(1x)kk2=ζ(2)Li2(1x)+Li4(1x)n=1H(2)nn2(1x)n



Combined with Cleo's closed form here, I know what the closed form should be, but how do I derive the result ?


Answer




HINT: Consider n=1H(2)n2nn2=n=1H(2)n12nn2+Li4(12) and then express the remaining sum as a double integral. After some work, you get



10log(x)Li2(x2)x2 dx+Li4(12)



and after letting x2x combined with the integration by parts, you arrive at some integrals
pretty easy to finish. I'm confident you can finish the rest of the job to do.



π41440π23log2(2)+124log4(2)+724π2log2(2)+14log(2)ζ(3)+Li4(12)
