In this note, we prove that for all $x \in (0 , 1)$, we have: $$ \log\Gamma(x) = \frac{1}{2} \log\pi + \pi \boldsymbol{\eta} \left(\frac{1}{2} - x\right) - \frac{1}{2} \log\sin(\pi x) + \frac{1}{\pi} \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\log n}{n}…

Using a summation identity obtained for the Fourier coefficients of $x^{2k}$, we derive a closed form expression for the zeta function at even positive integers, using a technique similar to one in an existing proof by Aladdi and Defant[1],…

In this study, we present a new closed form for the generalized integral $$\int_0^1 \frac{\mathrm{Li}_2(z) \ln(1+az)}{z}\, \mathrm{d}z,$$ where $a \in \mathbb{C} \setminus(-\infty, -1)$ and $\mathrm{Li}_2(z)$ is the dilogarithm function.…

In this note, we recall Kummer's Fourier series expansion of the 1-periodic function that coincides with the logarithm of the Gamma function on the unit interval $(0,1)$, and we use it to find closed forms for some numerical series related…

We establish closed-form expressions for the infinite series sum from n=2 to infinity of arctanh(n^-k) for all integers k >= 2 by connecting these sums to infinite product formulas involving the gamma function. Our approach uses logarithmic…

The Dirichlet lambda function $\lambda(s)$ is defined for $\mathrm{Re}(s) > 1$ by \[ \lambda(s) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(2n+1)^s}. \] This function was initially studied by Euler on the real line, where he denoted it by $N(s)$. In…

In a recent work, Dancs and He found an Euler-type formula for $\,\zeta{(2\,n+1)}$, $\,n\,$ being a positive integer, which contains a series they could not reduce to a finite closed-form. This open problem reveals a greater complexity in…

The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we introduce the constants $\zeta_k(\alpha,r,q)$ where $\alpha \in (0,1)$ and study them along the lines of work done on Euler constant in arithmetic progression $\gamma(r,q)$ by Briggs,…

We evaluate certain multidimensional integrals in terms of the Lerch transcendent function $\Phi$, generalizing Guillera-Sondow's formulas. As an application, we get new representations of classical constants like Euler's constant $\gamma$…

In this note, we develop transformation formulae and expansions for the log tangent integral, which are then used to derive series acceleration formulae for certain values of Dirichlet L-functions, such as Catalan's constant. The formulae…

In math.CA/0211148 we observed that $\ln(4/ \pi)$ is an "alternating" analog of Euler's constant $\gamma$. Here we use the binary expansion of an integer to give a rational series for $\ln(4/ \pi)$ analogous to Vacca's series for $\gamma$.…
