Since L i 2 ( − x ) = n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( n + 1 ) 2 ( − x ) n + 1 we deduce that the integral is I = ∫ 0 1 x ( 1 − x 2 ) ln x L i 2 ( − x ) d x = n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( n + 1 ) 2 ( − 1 ) n + 1 ∫ 0 1 1 − x 2 ln x x n d x = m , n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( n + 1 ) 2 ( − 1 ) n + 1 ∫ 0 1 ln x x n + 2 m d x = m , n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( n + 1 ) 2 ( n + 2 m + 1 ) 2 ( − 1 ) n = m , n = 0 ∑ ∞ ( n + 1 ) 2 ( n + 2 m + 1 ) 2 ( − 1 ) n + 2 m = N = 1 ∑ ∞ N 2 ( − 1 ) N + 1 u ≡ N ( m o d 2 ) 1 ≤ u ≤ N ∑ u 2 1 = 2 1 N = 1 ∑ ∞ N 2 ( − 1 ) N + 1 u = 1 ∑ N u 2 1 + ( − 1 ) N − u = 2 1 N = 1 ∑ ∞ N 2 ( − 1 ) N + 1 u = 1 ∑ N u 2 1 + 2 1 N = 1 ∑ ∞ N 2 1 u = 1 ∑ N u 2 ( − 1 ) u + 1 = 2 1 N = 1 ∑ ∞ N 2 ( − 1 ) N + 1 u = 1 ∑ N u 2 1 + 2 1 u = 1 ∑ ∞ u 2 ( − 1 ) u + 1 N = u ∑ ∞ N 2 1 = 2 1 N = 1 ∑ ∞ N 2 ( − 1 ) N + 1 ( u = 1 ∑ ∞ u 2 1 + N 2 1 ) = 1 2 1 π 2 N = 1 ∑ ∞ N 2 ( − 1 ) N + 1 + 2 1 N = 1 ∑ ∞ N 4 ( − 1 ) N + 1 = 1 2 1 π 2 × 1 2 1 π 2 + 2 1 × 7 2 0 7 π 4 = 1 4 4 0 1 7 π 4 where the key variable substitution in the third line is N = n + 2 m + 1 and u = n + 1 . This makes the answer 1 7 + 4 + 1 4 4 0 = 1 4 6 1 .
