Remarkable logarithmic integral $\int_0^1 \frac{\log^2 (1-x) \log^2 x \log^3(1+x)}{x}dx$

We have the following result ($\text{Li}_{n}$ being the polylogarithm): $$\tag{*}\small{ \int_0^1 \log^2 (1-x) \log^2 x \log^3(1+x) \frac{dx}{x} = -168 \text{Li}_5(\frac{1}{2}) \zeta (3)+96 \text{Li}...

More on the log sine integral $\int_0^{\pi }\theta ^{3}\log^{3}\left ( 2\sin\frac{\theta }{2} \right )\mathrm{d}\theta$

I. In this post, the OP asks about the particular log sine integral, $$\mathrm{Ls}_{7}^{\left ( 3 \right )} =-\int_{0}^{\pi }\theta ^{3}\log^{3}\left ( 2\sin\frac{\theta }{2} \right )\,\mathrm{d}\...

Conjectural closed-form of $\int_0^1 \frac{\log^n (1-x) \log^{n-1} (1+x)}{1+x} dx$

Let $$I_n = \int_0^1 \frac{\log^n (1-x) \log^{n-1} (1+x)}{1+x} dx$$ In a recently published article, $I_n$ are evaluated for $n\leq 6$: $$\begin{aligned}I_1 &= \frac{\log ^2(2)}{2}-\frac{\pi ^2}{...

Why does the tribonacci constant have a trilogarithm ladder?

When I came across the dilogarithm ladders of Coxeter and Landen, namely, $$\text{Li}_2\Big(\frac1{\phi^6}\Big)-4\text{Li}_2\Big(\frac1{\phi^3}\Big)-3\text{Li}_2\Big(\frac1{\phi^2}\Big)+6\text{Li}_2\...

Connection between the polylogarithm and the Bernoulli polynomials.

I have been studying the polylogarithm function and came across its relation with Bernoulli polynomials, as Wikipedia site asserts: For positive integer polylogarithm orders $s$, the Hurwitz zeta ...

Further question on Logarithm product integral

How to perform $\int_0^1 \frac{\left(a_0\log(u)+a_1\log(1-u)+a_{2}\log(1-xu)\right)^9}{u-1} du $? Method tried: Intgration-by-parts Series expansion change of variable $\log(u)=x$ But I still can't ...
