Abstract

Let I(n):=01[xn+(1x)n]1ndx.I(n):=\int_0^1 [x^n+(1-x)^n]^\frac1n dx. In this paper, we show that I(n)=0Iini,nI(n)= \sum_0^\infty \frac{I_i}{n^i},n\rightarrow \infty and we compute Ii,i=0..5I_i, i =0..5, obtained by polylog functions and Euler sums. As a corollary, we obtain explicit expressions for some integrals involving functions ui,exp(u),(1+exp(u))j,ln(1+exp(u))k u^i, exp(-u), (1 +exp(-u))^j , ln(1 + exp(-u))^k . As another asymptotic result, let S0(z):=Lim(1)Lim(1)Lim(z)S_0(z):=\frac{Li_m(1)}{Li_m(1)-Li_m(z)}, where Lim(z)Li_m(z) is the polylog function. We provide the asymptotic behaviour of Sn,nS_n,n\rightarrow \infty where Sn:=[zn]S0(z)S_n:=[z^n]S_0(z). This paper fits within the framework of analytic combinatorics.
