Abstract
In a recent work, Farhi developed a Fourier series expansion for the function on the interval , which allowed him to derive a nice formula for the constant . At the end of that paper, he asks whether could be written in terms of other known mathematical constants. Here in this work, after deriving a simple closed-form expression for , I show how it can be used for evaluating other related integrals, as well as certain logarithmic series, which allows for a generalization in the form of a continuous function , . Finally, from the Fourier series expansion of , , I make use of Parseval's theorem to derive a closed-form expression for .
