Abstract

In this study, we present a new closed form for the generalized integral 01Li2(z)ln(1+az)zdz,\int_0^1 \frac{\mathrm{Li}_2(z) \ln(1+az)}{z}\, \mathrm{d}z, where aC(,1)a \in \mathbb{C} \setminus(-\infty, -1) and Li2(z)\mathrm{Li}_2(z) is the dilogarithm function. This generalization is achieved by leveraging our established findings in conjunction with V\u{a}lean's results. Furthermore, we provide explicit closed forms for associated integrals, prove a transformation formula for double infinite series, expressing them as the sum of the square of an infinite series and another infinite series. We utilize this relationship to derive a novel closed form for the generalized series k=1ζ(m,rksr)(rks)m,\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{ \zeta\left(m, \frac{rk-s}{r}\right) }{(rk-s)^m}, for (m)>1\Re(m) > 1, r,sCr, s \in \mathbb{C}, where r0r \neq 0, rksrk \neq s, for any positive integer kk, and ζ(s,z)\zeta(s, z) denotes the Hurwitz zeta function. Utilizing Hermite's integral representation for ζ(s,z)\zeta(s, z), we derive a family of integrals from this series.
