0 π / 2 ln ( cos ( x ) ) ln ( sin ( x ) ) d x \displaystyle \large \int _{ 0 }^{ \pi /2 }{ \ln(\cos(x))\ln(\sin(x)) \ dx }

The above integral can be expressed as

π ( ln B ) A C π D E \dfrac { \pi ( \ln B)^A }{ C } -\dfrac { { \pi }^{ D } }{ E }

for positive integers A , B , C , D , E A,B,C,D,E , with B B is not a perfect power of any integer, find A + B + C + D + E A+B+C+D+E .

The answer is :

= π l o g 2 ( 2 ) 2 π 3 48 = \dfrac{\pi{log}^{2}(2)}{2} - \dfrac{ {\pi}^{3}}{48}

Solution:

Consider : F ( m , n ) = 0 π / 2 sin 2 m 1 x cos 2 n 1 x d x \displaystyle F(m,n)=\int _{ 0 }^{ \pi /2 }{ \sin ^{ 2m-1 }{ x } \cos ^{ 2n-1 }{ x } dx }

To solve this put sin 2 x = t \sin^{2}x = t to get our integral as :

F ( m , n ) = 1 2 0 1 t m 1 ( 1 t ) n 1 d t = β ( m , n ) 2 \displaystyle F(m,n) =\frac{1}{2} \int _{ 0 }^{ 1 }{ { t }^{ m-1 }{ (1-t) }^{ n-1 }dt }=\frac{\beta (m,n)}{2}

Where β ( m , n ) \beta(m,n) is the beta function.

F ( m , n ) = Γ ( m ) Γ ( n ) 2 Γ ( m + n ) \displaystyle F(m,n) = \frac { \Gamma (m)\Gamma (n) }{2 \Gamma (m+n) }

Hence we have :

Γ ( m ) Γ ( n ) Γ ( m + n ) = 2 0 π / 2 sin 2 m 1 x cos 2 n 1 x d x \displaystyle \frac { \Gamma (m)\Gamma (n) }{ \Gamma (m+n) } = 2\int _{ 0 }^{ \pi /2 }{ \sin ^{ 2m-1 }{ x } \cos ^{ 2n-1 }{ x } dx }

First differentiating both sides with respect to m m we have :

Γ ( n ) ( Γ ( m + n ) ) 2 ( Γ ( m ) Γ ( m + n ) Γ ( m ) Γ ( m + n ) ) = 4 0 π / 2 l o g ( s i n ( x ) ) sin 2 m 1 x cos 2 n 1 x d x \displaystyle \frac { \Gamma (n) }{ ({ \Gamma (m+n)) }^{ 2 } } (\Gamma '(m)\Gamma (m+n)-\Gamma (m)\Gamma '(m+n)) = 4\int _{ 0 }^{ \pi /2 }{ log(sin(x))\sin ^{ 2m-1 }{ x } \cos ^{ 2n-1 }{ x } dx }

Better written as :

Γ ( m ) Γ ( n ) Γ ( m + n ) ( ψ ( m ) ψ ( m + n ) ) = 4 0 π / 2 l o g ( s i n ( x ) ) sin 2 m 1 x cos 2 n 1 x d x \displaystyle \frac { \Gamma (m)\Gamma (n) }{ \Gamma (m+n) } (\psi (m)-\psi (m+n))=4\int _{ 0 }^{ \pi /2 }{ log(sin(x))\sin ^{ 2m-1 }{ x } \cos ^{ 2n-1 }{ x } dx }

where ψ ( x ) \psi(x) is the digamma function.

Now differentiate with respect to n n both sides we get :

Γ ( m ) Γ ( n ) Γ ( m + n ) ( ( ( ψ ( m ) ψ ( m + n ) ) ( ψ ( n ) ψ ( m + n ) ) ψ ( m + n ) ) \displaystyle \frac { \Gamma (m)\Gamma (n) }{ \Gamma (m+n) } (((\psi (m)-\psi (m+n))(\psi (n)-\psi (m+n))-\psi '(m+n))

= 8 0 π / 2 l o g ( s i n ( x ) ) l o g ( c o s ( x ) ) sin 2 m 1 x cos 2 n 1 x d x \displaystyle =8\int _{ 0 }^{ \pi /2 }{ log(sin(x))log(cos(x))\sin ^{ 2m-1 }{ x } \cos ^{ 2n-1 }{ x } dx }

Put m = n = 1 2 m=n=\dfrac{1}{2} to get :

Γ 2 ( 1 / 2 ) Γ ( 1 ) ( ( ψ ( 1 / 2 ) ψ ( 1 ) ) 2 ψ ( 1 ) ) \displaystyle \frac { { \Gamma }^{ 2 }(1/2) }{ \Gamma (1) } ({ (\psi (1/2)-\psi (1)) }^{ 2 }-\psi '(1))

= 8 0 π / 2 l o g ( c o s ( x ) ) l o g ( s i n ( x ) ) d x \displaystyle =8\int _{ 0 }^{ \pi /2 }{ log(cos(x))log(sin(x))dx }

Now Γ ( 1 / 2 ) = π , Γ ( 1 ) = 1 , ψ ( 1 / 2 ) = γ l o g ( 4 ) , ψ ( 1 ) = γ , ψ ( 1 ) = π 2 6 \displaystyle \Gamma (1/2)=\sqrt { \pi } ,\Gamma (1)=1,\psi (1/2)=-\gamma -log(4),\psi (1)=-\gamma ,\psi '(1)=\frac { { \pi }^{ 2 } }{ 6 }

Wow! Great! Hats off! Thought of it but then had to dump because I had a little information about digamma function. Can it be done using "differentiation under integral sign"?

Thanks for the problem and solution!

Hi Ronak , could u please tell me how to solve these type of problems. i have completed my B.Tech ,but frankly speaking i could not solve even a single problem posted by u and ishan dasgupta.

Hello Sir. Actually Sir, many of the questions on Brilliant are questions one simply does not encounter in other places. Thus it is very, very hard to find a given set of methods to tackle these problems. I remember learning by initially just reading posted solutions and seeking help whenever I couldn't understand. Also, gradually I accumulated general methods to tackle specific types of methods. I would love to go on, but I have a lot of work to catch up with. As such, presently I think the best thing to do now would be to post a Note (by going to the Community page and then clicking on the +Note option on the top of the Community page) asking the Brilliant Community to help you. In case you have any further queries, please don't hesitate from asking.
