sinxdx, wheren andp are non-negative integers. As already remarked by Nielsen in a monograph on the generalized polylogarithms published early in this century, this integral is equal to times a homogeneous polynomial in (q) (the Riemann zeta function for integer arguments) and log 2, with rational coefficients. Explicit expressions for the integral are given for 0<n 4, 0 p 4, most of which have been found from the general formula by means of a computer.Part of this work was done during the author's leave of absence at the Institute of Theoretical Physics at McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This work was supported in part by the National Research Council of Canada. |
