@Mark Hennings How did you find the closed form of F ( a , b ) ?

The easy answer is "a book of standard integrals".
This identity was an early formula established by the first few mathematicians to study the Gamma and Beta functions, back in the days before it was called the beta function. It can be established by some pretty contour integration.
Wow!,ingenious solution
just one question,how did you think of the function F ( a , b ) ?
thanks! :)

The integrand needs to involve the term 2 a sin a x ,. so that we can differentiate it twice to obtain ln 2 ( 2 sin x ) . After that it is a matter of knowing that there are some fairly simple formulae for the integrals of sin a x cos b x and sin a x sin b x over intervals like ( 0 , 2 1 π ) and ( 0 , π ) ; a little more differentiation obtains the x 2 term. and so the whole integral is now expressed in terms of polygamma functions, which can be simplified.
This problem is similar, but worse!

i still didn't attempt any of the hot integrals,mainly because they look like that lol

Note that I = ∫ 0 2 π x 2 [ ln ( 2 sin 2 1 x ) ] 2 d x = 8 ∫ 0 π x 2 ln 2 ( 2 sin x ) d x = − 8 ∂ a 2 ∂ b 2 ∂ 4 F ( 0 , 0 ) where F ( a , b ) = = 2 a ∫ 0 π sin a x cos b x d x = ( a + 1 ) B ( 2 1 ( a + b + 2 ) , 2 1 ( a − b + 2 ) ) π cos 2 1 b π Γ ( 2 1 ( a + b + 2 ) ) Γ ( 2 1 ( a − b + 2 ) ) π Γ ( a + 1 ) cos 2 1 b π . We first obtain that − ∂ b 2 ∂ 2 F ( a , 0 ) = 4 Γ ( 1 + 2 1 a ) 2 Γ ( a + 1 ) ( π 3 + 2 π ψ ( 1 ) ( 1 + 2 1 a ) ) and hence, differentiating two more times,. we obtain I = − 8 ∂ a 2 ∂ b 2 ∂ 4 F ( 0 , 0 ) = 4 5 1 3 π 5 giving the answer 1 3 + 5 + 4 5 = 6 3 .
