calculus - How to evaluate intpi0thetalntanfractheta2,mathrmdtheta



I have some trouble in how to evaluate this integral:
π0θln(tan(θ2))dθ
I think it maybe has another form
π0θln(tan(θ2))dθ=n=11n2[ψ(n+12)ψ(12)]



Answer



Obviously we have
π0θlntanθ2dθ=4π/20xlntanxdx
then use the definition of Lobachevskiy Function(You can see this in table of integrals,series,and products,Eighth Edition by Ryzhik,page 900)
L(x)=x0lncosxdx,     π2xπ2
Hence we have
π/20xlntanxdx=x[L(x)+L(π2x)]π/20π/20[L(x)+L(π2x)]dx=(π2)2ln22π/20L(x)dx

use
L(x)=xln212k=1(1)k1k2sin2kx
(Integrate the fourier series of lncosx from 0 to x.)



we can calculate
π/20L(x)dx=12(π2)2ln212k=1(1)k1k2π/20sin2kxdx=π28ln212k=11(2k1)3
So

π/20xlntanxdx=π24ln22[π28ln212k=11(2k1)3]=k=11(2k1)3=k=11k3k=11(2k)3=78ζ(3)
Hence the initial integral is
π0θlntanθ2dθ=72ζ(3)
in addition,as you mentioned
π0θlntanθ2dθ=n=11n2[ψ(n+12)ψ(12)]=72ζ(3)
or

n=11n2ψ(n+12)=72ζ(3)(γ+2ln2)π26
