Wow! It looks like there is some "Shakalaka Boom Boom" here. It is exactly the same as I did.
Hi ronak , can u elaborate Note in this step my path of this complex integration is a straight line between and how u obtained K in the very next step
@Ronak Agarwal can u help me out with that step

Just notice that since the limits are comlpex I have to state the path, that's it, there's nothing more in it.
You can also proceed without the substitution keeping the limits real but the integrand complex that would yield the same result.

i am sorry but i cannot understand ur statement and the very next step, how in denominator r changed to 4 r 3 . Plz reply

@Tanishq Varshney – Try to apply the substitution carefully, you will get it.

I won't be providing justification of my steps :
Put x = t a n ( y ) to get our integral as :
I = ∫ 0 2 π y l n ( s e c 2 y ) d y
I = ( − 2 ) ∫ 0 2 π y l n ( c o s ( y ) ) d y
Now we would be calculating : J = ∫ 0 2 π y l n ( c o s ( y ) ) d y
Now c o s ( x ) = 2 e i x + e − i x .
Hence we have :
J = ∫ 0 2 π y l n ( 2 e i y + e − i y ) d y
J = ∫ 0 2 π y l n ( 1 + e 2 i y ) d y − ∫ 0 2 π y ( l n ( 2 ) + i y ) d y
I will be using the taylor expansion of l n ( 1 + x ) we would be getting :
J = ∫ 0 2 π y r = 1 ∑ ∞ r ( − 1 ) r − 1 e ( 2 i r y ) d y − ( 8 π 2 l n ( 2 ) + 2 4 π 3 i )
Let :
K = r = 1 ∑ ∞ r ( − 1 ) r − 1 ∫ 0 2 π y e 2 i r y d y
Put 2 i r y = x , Note in this step my path of this complex integration is a straight line between 0 , r π i
K = r = 1 ∑ ∞ 4 r 3 ( − 1 ) r ∫ 0 r π i x e x d x
⇒ K = r = 1 ∑ ∞ 4 r 3 ( − 1 ) r ( ( r π i − 1 ) ( − 1 ) r + 1 )
K = ( π i ) r = 1 ∑ ∞ 4 r 2 1 + r = 1 ∑ ∞ 4 r 3 − 1 + ( − 1 ) r
K = ( 4 π i ) ζ ( 2 ) + ( 2 − 1 ) ( 1 + 3 3 1 + 5 3 1 + . . . . . . . )
( 4 π i ) ζ ( 2 ) + ( 2 − 1 ) ( ( 1 + 2 3 1 + 3 3 1 + . . . . . . . ) − 8 1 ( 1 + 2 3 1 + 3 3 1 + . . . . . . . ) )
K = 1 6 4 i π ζ ( 2 ) − 7 ζ ( 3 )
Putting the value of K in J we get :
1 6 − 7 ζ ( 3 ) − 8 π 2 l n ( 2 ) + i ( 4 6 ζ ( 2 ) − π 2 )
Interesting thing to observe that since J is purely real hence we have :
ζ ( 2 ) = 6 π 2
And we have proved an very interesting result.
Also we get :
J = 1 6 − 7 ζ ( 3 ) − 8 π 2 l n ( 2 )
Finally we have :
I = 4 π 2 l n ( 2 ) + 8 7 ζ ( 3 )
