  2. Euler–Mascheroni constant! :euler:

    In fact, the last one is:
    \[\large\displaystyle\int_1^{+\infty}\mathrm dx\ \left(\frac{1}{\lfloor x\rfloor}-\frac1x\right)=\gamma\approx0.5772156649\]

    Equivalently,
    \[\large\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left(\sum_{k=1}^n \frac1{k}-\ln n\right)=\gamma=0.5772156649\ldots\]

  4. My wife was working through finding the derivative of the #exponential #function #exp(x) from first principles.I was made aware that she hadn’t actually seen why the number e=2.7128… was the #base the of the function and that that’s what you need to start with. In fact, that means one must actually start by finding the first differential of a general #logarithm and find #e from there. Once you’ve find the #Derivative of #lln, the #derivative of the #ExponentialFunction is straightforward. (1/2)

  10. An excellent general result.

    If \(\Re(s)>1\),
    \[\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac{\ln x}{x^s+1}~\mathrm dx=\frac{\pi^2}{4s^2}\left[\sec^2\left(\frac{\pi}{2s}\right)-\csc^2\left(\frac{\pi}{2s}\right)\right]\]

    Special cases:
    \[\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac{\ln x}{x^2+1}~\mathrm dx=0\]
    \[\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac{\ln x}{x^3+1}~\mathrm dx=-\frac{2\pi^2}{27}\]
    \[\displaystyle\int_0^\infty\frac{\ln x}{x^4+1}~\mathrm dx=-\frac{\pi^2}{8\sqrt2}\]

  12. Try to prove the following two results that relate the harmonic numbers to the golden ratio. Have an excellent weekend.

    \[\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\binom{2n}n\dfrac{H_n}{5^n}=2\sqrt5\ln\varphi\]

    \[\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty\binom{2n}n\dfrac{H_n}{5^nn}=\frac{2\pi^2}{15}-2\ln^2\varphi\]

    where \(\varphi=\frac{1+\sqrt5}2\) is the golden ratio; and \(H_n=\left(1+\frac12+\frac13+\ldots+\frac1n\right)\) is the \(n\)-th harmonic number.

  20. @mattmcirvin It is not really widely known; instead it is apparently rediscovered again and again. Here (mathstodon.xyz/@mittelwertsatz) is a thread from December on the same question.

    What I find interesting is that there is the concept of a 𝑞-logarithm\[\log_q x= \int_0^x y^{-q} dy\]that has applications somewhere. (But I do not know them.)

  21. How to prove this?!🤔

    \[\displaystyle\int_\tfrac{1}{2}^1\dfrac{\psi(x)}{1+\Gamma^2(x)}dx=\dfrac{1}{2}\ln\left(\dfrac{1+\pi}{2\pi}\right)\]

    where \(\Gamma(x)\) and \(\psi(x)\) are the gamma and digamma functions respectively.

  26. @mittelwertsatz @chris_sangwin To express that idea more formally, define functions \[ L_n(x) = \int_1^x \xi^{n-1} d\xi. \]
    Then \( L_0(x) = \ln x \) and \( L_n(x) = \frac{x^n - 1}n \) otherwise. But all \( L_n \) obey the functional equations
    \[ L_n(x y) = y^n L_n(x) + L_n(y), \quad 𝐿_n(1)=0. \]
    My question now is: Do these "generalized logarithms" occur somewhere naturally?
