On an integral identity

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2020-02-26 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

We give three elementary proofs of a nice equality of definite integrals, which arises from the theory of bivariate hypergeometric functions, and has connections with irrationality proofs in number theory. We furthermore provide a generalization together with an equally elementary proof and discuss some consequences.
