How can I prove that
∞∑n=1Hnn22n=ζ(3)−12log(2)ζ(2).
Can anyone help me please?
Answer
Let's start with the product of −ln(1−x) and 11−x to get the product generating function
(for |x|<1) :
f(x):=−ln(1−x)1−x=∞∑n=1Hnxn
Dividing by x and integrating we get :
∞∑n=1Hnnxn=∫f(x)xdx=−∫ln(1−x)1−xdx−∫ln(1−x)xdx=C+12ln(1−x)2+Li2(x)
(with C=0 from x=0)
The first integral was obtained by integration by parts, the second from the integral definition of the dilogarithm or the recurrence for the polylogarihm (with Li1(x)=−ln(1−x)) : Lis+1(x)=∫Lis(x)xdx
Dividing (2) by x and integrating again returns (using (3) again) :
∞∑n=1Hnn2xn=∫ln(1−x)22xdx+∫Li2(x)xdx=C+I(x)+Li3(x)
with I(x) obtained by integration by parts (since ddxLi2(1−x)=ln(x)1−x) :
I(x):=∫ln(1−x)22xdx=ln(1−x)2ln(x)2|+∫ln(1−x)ln(x)1−xdx=ln(1−x)2ln(x)2+ln(1−x)Li2(1−x)|+∫Li2(1−x)1−xdx=ln(1−x)2ln(x)2+ln(1−x)Li2(1−x)−Li3(1−x)|
getting the general relation :
∞∑n=1Hnn2xn=C+ln(1−x)2ln(x)2+ln(1−x)Li2(1−x)+Li3(x)−Li3(1−x)
(with C=Li3(1)=ζ(3) here)
applied to x=12 with Li2(12)=ζ(2)−ln(2)22 from the link returns the wished :
∞∑n=1Hnn22n=ζ(3)−ln(2)32−ln(2)ζ(2)−ln(2)22∞∑n=1Hnn22n=ζ(3)−ln(2)ζ(2)2
