$\int_0^1 \frac{dr}{r\log^n(1+\frac{1}{r})}< \infty$ if $n>1$
Write $\int_0^1=\int_0^{1/2}+\int_{1/2}^1$ and use $$\int_0^{1/2}\frac{dr}{r\log^n(1+1/r)}<\int_0^{1/2}\frac{dr}{r\log^n(1/r)}=\frac{\log^{1-n}2}{n-1}$$ (the remaining integral is clearly finite).

If $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{a_n}{n^\alpha}=1,\alpha>0$, find $\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{1}{n^{1+...
Let $b_n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n k^\alpha$ and $c_n=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n a_k$. Then (the "Riemann sum" argument) $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{b_n}{n^{1+\alpha}}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac1n\sum_{k=1}^n …

Expanding formula in partial fractions
Hint: $$(x-a)^{-k}(x-b)^{-l}=\sum_{j=1}^{k}A_j(x-a)^{-j}+\sum_{j=1}^{l}B_j(x-b)^{-j},$$ where the "$A_j$" part can be obtained from the power series of $(x-b)^{-l}$ around $x=a$: $$(x-b)^{-l}=(a-b)^{- …

Evaluate $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty}\sum\limits_{i=1}^n\frac{1-\cos \frac{\pi}{\sqrt{n}}}{1+...
The limit doesn't exist (i.e. it is infinite).
For $1\leqslant k\leqslant m_n:=\lfloor\sqrt{n/8}\rfloor$ (and $n$ large enough), let $$i_k:=\lfloor(2k-1)\sqrt{2n}\rfloor=(2k-1)\sqrt{2n}-\epsilon_k.$$ …

Can I use L'Hopital's to show $\lim_{x\to1^-}(1-x)[\frac{d}{dx}(1-x)\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nx^n...
My "favourite" counterexample works again. Consider $a_n=(-1)^k$ for $2^k\leqslant n<2^{k+1}$, $k\geqslant 0$.
Then, for $f(x):=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n x^n$, we get $g(x):=(1-x)f(x)=x+2\sum_{k=1}^\infty …

Integration included with square-roots
Just an idea (not a complete answer) is to use $\Im\sqrt{x+iy}=\sqrt{(\sqrt{x^2+y^2}-x)/2}$ for real $x,y\geqslant 0$ (and the principal branch of the square root on the left). So the substitution $x= …

I'm not completely sure what the integration domain is. If it is really supposed that all variables are ranging from $0$ to $1$, then $1-x_1-\ldots-x_n$ gets negative when all of $x_1,\ldots,x_n$ are …

Does the $\sum_{k}$ remain after differentiating $log(\frac{\sum_{k}W_{ik}H_{kj}}{const.})$ ...
Mixed indices confuse. $\displaystyle\frac{\partial}{\partial H_{uv}}\sum_{i,j}\log\frac{\sum_k W_{ik} H_{kj}}{\text{const.}} = \sum_i\frac{W_{iu}}{\sum_k W_{ik} H_{kv}}$.

Maclaurin series of $1- \cos^{2/3} x$ has all coefficients positive
(A proof, not very "natural" though.) $f(x)=1-\cos^{2/3}x$ satisfies $xf''(x)=g(x)f'(x)$, where $$g(x)=x\cot x+\frac{x}3\tan x=1+\sum_{n=1}^\infty g_n x^n$$ with $g_n=0$ for odd $n$, and $3g_{2n}=(-1) …

$\lim_{n\to\infty}\prod_{k=1}^n (\beta+k/n)$
Use Euler–Maclaurin summation formula with remainder. For any $\beta>0$
\begin{align}
\sum_{k=1}^n\log(\beta+k/n)&=\int_0^n\log(\beta+x/n)\,dx
\\&+\frac{\log(\beta+1)-\log\beta}2-\frac1{12n\beta(\beta …

I doubt there's a simple closed form. What I get (easily) is a series using Bessel functions.

Polylog integral $\int_{0}^{1}\frac{x\log x\operatorname{Li}_2(x)}{x^2+1}dx$
Suppose $\sum_{n=1}^\infty|a_n|$ converges. Then $\left(\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n\right)^2=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n^2+2\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n\sum_{k=1}^\infty a_{n+k}$.
Replacing $a_n$ with $(-1)^n a_n$ and r …

Does $\int_{-\infty }^{\ln \pi} \sqrt{\sin e^t} \, \rm{d}t$ have closed form?
Another not-an-answer regarding the computational matter. As commented, $$I=\int_0^\pi\frac{\sqrt{\sin x}}{x}\,dx=\int_0^\pi\frac{\sqrt{\sin x}}{\pi-x}\,dx
=\frac\pi2\int_0^\pi\frac{\sqrt{\sin x}}{x(\ …
