calculus - Proving intinfty0fracln(t)sqrttetmathrmdt=sqrtpi(gamma+ln4)


I would like to prove that:


0ln(t)tetdt=π(γ+ln4)


I tried to use the integral n0ln(t)t(1tn)ndt


n0ln(t)t(1tn)ndtn0ln(t)tetdt (dominated convergence theorem)


Using the substitution ttn, I get:



n0ln(t)t(1tn)ndt=n(ln(n)10(1t)ntdt+10ln(t)(1t)ntdt)


However I don't know if I am on the right track for these new integrals look quite tricky.


Answer



Consider integral representation for the Euler Γ-function: Γ(s)=0ts1etdt Differentiate with respect to s: Γ(s)ψ(s)=0ts1ln(t)etdt where ψ(s) is the digamma function. Now substitute s=12. So 0ln(t)tetdt=Γ(12)ψ(12) Now use duplication formula: Γ(2s)=Γ(s)Γ(s+1/2)22s1π Differentiating this with respect to s gives the duplication formula for ψ(s), and substitution of s=1/2 gives Γ(1/2)=π. ψ(2s)=12ψ(s)+12ψ(s+1/2)+log(2) Substitute s=12 and use ψ(1)=γ to arrive at the result.
