Finding the closed form of:
∞∑n=1H(2)n2nn2
where, H(2)n=n∑k=11k2
It appears when we try to determine the summation ∞∑n=1Hnn32n, using the generating function:
∞∑n=1Hnn3xn=−12∞∑n=11n2n∑k=1(1−x)kk2−ζ(2)2Li2(x)+7ζ(4)8−14Li22(1−x)+ζ2(2)4+Li4(x)+14log2xlog2(1−x)+12logxlog(1−x)Li2(1−x)+ζ(3)logx−logxLi2(1−x)
when we write, ∞∑n=11n2n∑k=1(1−x)kk2=ζ(2)Li2(1−x)+Li4(1−x)−∞∑n=1H(2)nn2(1−x)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)n−12nn2+Li4(12) and then express the remaining sum as a double integral. After some work, you get
∫10log(x)Li2(x2)x−2 dx+Li4(12)
and after letting x↦2x 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.
π41440−π23log2(2)+124log4(2)+724π2log2(2)+14log(2)ζ(3)+Li4(12)
