Abstract

The nested Kholodenko-Silagadze quadrature In=  ds1  s1ds2  s2ds3  s2n3ds2n2  s2n2ds2n1  s2n1ds2ncos(s12s22)cos(s32s42)cos(s2n32s2n22)cos(s2n12s2n2)=2n!(π4)n  , I_{n} = \int_{-\infty}^{\;\infty}ds_{1}\int_{-\infty}^{\;s_{1}}ds_{2}\int_{-\infty}^{\;s_{2}}ds_{3}\cdots \int_{-\infty}^{\;s_{2n-3}}ds_{2n-2}\int_{-\infty}^{\;s_{2n-2}}ds_{2n-1}\int_{-\infty}^{\;s_{2n-1}}ds_{2n}\cos(s_{1}^{2}-s_{2}^{2})\cos(s_{3}^{2}-s_{4}^{2})\cdots\cos(s_{2n-3}^{2}-s_{2n-2}^{2})\cos(s_{2n-1}^{2}-s_{2n}^{2})= \frac{2}{n!}\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)^{n} \;, obtained for all integers n1n\geq 1 by an elegant but indirect argument, is tackled anew from a uniform quadrature reduction viewpoint. Along the way, at its first instance of real difficulty when n=3,n=3, the recondite quadrature 0  cos(u)udu0usin2(v)vdv+0  sin(u)udu0usin(v)cos(v)vdv=π212  , \int_{\,0}^{\;\infty} \frac{\cos(u)}{u} du \int_{\,0}^{\,u} \frac{\sin^{2}(v)}{v}dv + \int_{\,0}^{\;\infty} \frac{\sin(u)}{u} du \int_{\,0}^{\,u} \frac{\sin(v)\cos(v)}{v}dv = \,\frac{\pi^{2}}{12}\;, heretofore presumably unknown, receives an indirect resolution with its indicated value of π2/12\pi^{2}/12.
