real analysis - Infinite Series sumin=1nftyfracHnn22n



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(1x) and 11x to get the product generating function
(for |x|<1) :
f(x):=ln(1x)1x=n=1Hnxn


Dividing by x and integrating we get :

n=1Hnnxn=f(x)xdx=ln(1x)1xdxln(1x)xdx=C+12ln(1x)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(1x)) : Lis+1(x)=Lis(x)xdx



Dividing (2) by x and integrating again returns (using (3) again) :
n=1Hnn2xn=ln(1x)22xdx+Li2(x)xdx=C+I(x)+Li3(x)


with I(x) obtained by integration by parts (since ddxLi2(1x)=ln(x)1x) :
I(x):=ln(1x)22xdx=ln(1x)2ln(x)2|+ln(1x)ln(x)1xdx=ln(1x)2ln(x)2+ln(1x)Li2(1x)|+Li2(1x)1xdx=ln(1x)2ln(x)2+ln(1x)Li2(1x)Li3(1x)|

getting the general relation :

n=1Hnn2xn=C+ln(1x)2ln(x)2+ln(1x)Li2(1x)+Li3(x)Li3(1x)

(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)32ln(2)ζ(2)ln(2)22n=1Hnn22n=ζ(3)ln(2)ζ(2)2
