I am trying to evaluate the following double sum
begineqnarray*
sum_n=1^infty sum_m=1^infty frac(-1)^n+mn(3n+m).
endeqnarray*
Using the integral trick
begineqnarray*
frac13n+m =int_0^1 y^3n+m-1 dy,
endeqnarray*
the sum can be transformed into integral
begineqnarray*
int_0^1 frac ln(1+y^3)1+y dy.
endeqnarray*
Now "half" of this is easy (IBP & rearrange)
begineqnarray*
int_0^1 frac ln(1+y)1+y dy = frac12 (ln 2)^2.
endeqnarray*
So we are left with
begineqnarray*
int_0^1 frac ln(1-y+y^2)1+y dy = int_0^1 frac (1-2y)ln(1+y)1-y+y^2 dy.
endeqnarray*
Now, apart from the obvious IBP done above, this integral has me stumped.



An exact evaluation would be nice, barring that, an expression in terms of dilogrithmic values or something similar would be helpful. Any comments or answers, gratefully received.



If this integral has been seen before a reference & advise on how I would search & find something similar in the future would be gratefully appreciated.

          If it helps: Maple 7 computes the expression
          $$ - mathrmln(2),mathrmln(3) - mathrmln(2),mathrm
          ln(displaystyle frac 13 ,I) - mathrmln(2),mathrm
          ln(displaystyle frac -13 ,I)
          \- mathrmdilog( -
          displaystyle frac 13 + I,sqrt3 + displaystyle
          frac I,sqrt33 + I,sqrt3 )
          \ - mathrmdilog(displaystyle frac 1 - 3 + I,
          sqrt3 + displaystyle frac I,sqrt3 - 3 + I,sqrt
          3 )
          \ + mathrmdilog( - displaystyle frac 1 - 3 + I,
          sqrt3 + displaystyle frac I,sqrt3 - 3 + I,sqrt
          3 ) \
          + mathrmdilog(displaystyle frac 13 + I,sqrt3
          + displaystyle frac I,sqrt33 + I,sqrt3 ) $$



          This will evaluate to $-0.12693500084879648110964091818$ and is compatible with Wolfram Alpha's $-0.126935$ (no symbolic answer here).



          Please note that Maple's dilog is related to the standard polylogarithms by
          $$operatornamedilog(x) = operatornameLi_2(1-x)$$

          This integral won't evaluate to anything pretty, but we can write it in terms of the dilogarithm $operatorname Li_2(x)$. Factoring a $-2$ out of the numerator and completing the square in the denominator gives us:



          $$int_0^1 frac (1-2y)ln(1+y)1-y+y^2 dy = -2int_0^1 frac (y-frac12)ln(1+y)(y-frac12)^2 +frac34 dy.$$



          Then apply the substitution $x=y-frac12$.



          $$int_-frac 12^frac 12 fracx ln(x+ frac32)x^2+ frac 34dx = int_-frac 12^frac 12 overbraceln(x+ frac32)^u cdot underbrace frac xx^2+ frac 34 dx _dv$$ Integration by parts show the original integral is equivalent to $displaystyle int_-frac 12^frac12 fracln(x^2+frac34)x+frac 32dx$. Now we can introduce yet another substitution, say $z=x+frac 32$. Now we get:



          $$int_1^2 frac ln bigl((z- frac 32)^2 + frac 34big)zdz$$
          We can factor the sum of squares by using the fact that $a^2 +b^2 = (a+bi)(a-bi)$.
          $$int_1^2 frac lnbig((z- frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i)(z- frac 32 - frac sqrt 32i)big)zdz$$



          Using the log rules, you can rewrite this as the sum of two integrals:
          $$int_1^2 frac ln(z- frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i)zdz + int_1^2 frac ln (z- frac 32 - frac sqrt 32i)zdz tag1$$



          Now lets look for a general solution to $displaystyle int_1^2 frac ln (x+a)xdx $, where $a$ is any constant.
          $$int_1^2 frac ln (x+a)xdx = int_1^2 frac lnbig(a(frac xa +1)big)xdx = ln(a) int_1^2 frac dxx+ int_1^2 frac ln(frac xa +1)x dx.$$ Apply the substitution $u = - frac xa$. This changes it to:



          $$ ln(a)ln(2)+ int frac ln(1-u)u du = Big[ln(a)ln(x)+ operatorname Li_2 (- frac xa)+ CBig]_1^2$$
          $$ int_1^2 frac ln (x+a)xdx =ln(a)ln(2)+ operatorname Li_2 (- frac 2a)- operatorname Li_2 (-frac 1a) tag2$$



          Now, putting (2) into (1) yields:



          $$ ln(- frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i)ln(2)+ operatorname Li_2 (- frac 2- frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i)- operatorname Li_2 (-frac 1- frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i) + ln(- frac 32 - frac sqrt 32i)ln(2)+ operatorname Li_2 ( frac 2 frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i)- operatorname Li_2 (frac 1 frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i) $$



          There's probably a way to simplify this, but I bet it's very tedious. The imaginary part should end up being 0.

            $$intlimits_0^1mathrm dx,frac log(1+x^3)1+xcolorblue=frac 12operatornameLi_2left(-frac 13right)+frac 14log^23+frac 12log^22-frac pi^236$$Confirmed by Wolfram Alpha.




            Call the integral $mathfrakI$ and make the transformation $xmapstotfrac 1-x1+x$. What's left is$$mathfrakI=log^22+intlimits_0^1mathrm dx,frac log(1+3x^2)1+x-3intlimits_0^1mathrm dx,frac log(1+x)1+x$$
            The last integral is trivially equal to$$intlimits_0^1mathrm dx,frac log(1+x)1+xcolorred=frac 12log^22$$The middle integral is difficult and I am still not aware of a full solution to the integral by hand. Replace the three with a parameter say, $a$, and differentiate with respect to $a$$$mathfrakI(a)=intlimits_0^1mathrm dxspacefrac log(1+ax^2)1+x$$Thus$$beginalign*mathfrakI'(a) & =intlimits_0^1mathrm dxspaceleft[frac 1(1+a)(1+x)+frac x(1+a)(1+ax^2)-frac 1(1+a)(1+ax^2)right]\ & =frac 11+alog 2+frac log(1+a)2a(1+a)-frac 1sqrt a(1+a)arctansqrt aendalign*$$Integrate both sides with respect to $a$ and from zero to three to get (I used Wolfram Alpha on this step)$$intlimits_0^1mathrm dxspacefrac log(1+3x^2)1+xcolorbrown=log^22+frac 12operatornameLi_2left(-frac 13right)+frac 14log^23-frac pi^236$$Now add everything together and you should get the result I stated at the beginning of my answer.

              If it helps: Maple 7 computes the expression
              $$ - mathrmln(2),mathrmln(3) - mathrmln(2),mathrm
              ln(displaystyle frac 13 ,I) - mathrmln(2),mathrm
              ln(displaystyle frac -13 ,I)
              \- mathrmdilog( -
              displaystyle frac 13 + I,sqrt3 + displaystyle
              frac I,sqrt33 + I,sqrt3 )
              \ - mathrmdilog(displaystyle frac 1 - 3 + I,
              sqrt3 + displaystyle frac I,sqrt3 - 3 + I,sqrt
              3 )
              \ + mathrmdilog( - displaystyle frac 1 - 3 + I,
              sqrt3 + displaystyle frac I,sqrt3 - 3 + I,sqrt

              + mathrmdilog(displaystyle frac 13 + I,sqrt3
              + displaystyle frac I,sqrt33 + I,sqrt3 ) $$



              This will evaluate to $-0.12693500084879648110964091818$ and is compatible with Wolfram Alpha's $-0.126935$ (no symbolic answer here).



              Please note that Maple's dilog is related to the standard polylogarithms by
              $$operatornamedilog(x) = operatornameLi_2(1-x)$$

              This integral won't evaluate to anything pretty, but we can write it in terms of the dilogarithm $operatorname Li_2(x)$. Factoring a $-2$ out of the numerator and completing the square in the denominator gives us:



              $$int_0^1 frac (1-2y)ln(1+y)1-y+y^2 dy = -2int_0^1 frac (y-frac12)ln(1+y)(y-frac12)^2 +frac34 dy.$$



              Then apply the substitution $x=y-frac12$.



              $$int_-frac 12^frac 12 fracx ln(x+ frac32)x^2+ frac 34dx = int_-frac 12^frac 12 overbraceln(x+ frac32)^u cdot underbrace frac xx^2+ frac 34 dx _dv$$ Integration by parts show the original integral is equivalent to $displaystyle int_-frac 12^frac12 fracln(x^2+frac34)x+frac 32dx$. Now we can introduce yet another substitution, say $z=x+frac 32$. Now we get:



              $$int_1^2 frac ln bigl((z- frac 32)^2 + frac 34big)zdz$$
              We can factor the sum of squares by using the fact that $a^2 +b^2 = (a+bi)(a-bi)$.
              $$int_1^2 frac lnbig((z- frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i)(z- frac 32 - frac sqrt 32i)big)zdz$$



              Using the log rules, you can rewrite this as the sum of two integrals:
              $$int_1^2 frac ln(z- frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i)zdz + int_1^2 frac ln (z- frac 32 - frac sqrt 32i)zdz tag1$$



              Now lets look for a general solution to $displaystyle int_1^2 frac ln (x+a)xdx $, where $a$ is any constant.
              $$int_1^2 frac ln (x+a)xdx = int_1^2 frac lnbig(a(frac xa +1)big)xdx = ln(a) int_1^2 frac dxx+ int_1^2 frac ln(frac xa +1)x dx.$$ Apply the substitution $u = - frac xa$. This changes it to:



              $$ ln(a)ln(2)+ int frac ln(1-u)u du = Big[ln(a)ln(x)+ operatorname Li_2 (- frac xa)+ CBig]_1^2$$
              $$ int_1^2 frac ln (x+a)xdx =ln(a)ln(2)+ operatorname Li_2 (- frac 2a)- operatorname Li_2 (-frac 1a) tag2$$



              Now, putting (2) into (1) yields:



              $$ ln(- frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i)ln(2)+ operatorname Li_2 (- frac 2- frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i)- operatorname Li_2 (-frac 1- frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i) + ln(- frac 32 - frac sqrt 32i)ln(2)+ operatorname Li_2 ( frac 2 frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i)- operatorname Li_2 (frac 1 frac 32 + frac sqrt 32i) $$



              There's probably a way to simplify this, but I bet it's very tedious. The imaginary part should end up being 0.

                  There's probably a way to simplify this, but I bet it's very tedious. The imaginary part should end up being 0.

                      $$intlimits_0^1mathrm dx,frac log(1+x^3)1+xcolorblue=frac 12operatornameLi_2left(-frac 13right)+frac 14log^23+frac 12log^22-frac pi^236$$Confirmed by Wolfram Alpha.




                      Call the integral $mathfrakI$ and make the transformation $xmapstotfrac 1-x1+x$. What's left is$$mathfrakI=log^22+intlimits_0^1mathrm dx,frac log(1+3x^2)1+x-3intlimits_0^1mathrm dx,frac log(1+x)1+x$$
                      The last integral is trivially equal to$$intlimits_0^1mathrm dx,frac log(1+x)1+xcolorred=frac 12log^22$$The middle integral is difficult and I am still not aware of a full solution to the integral by hand. Replace the three with a parameter say, $a$, and differentiate with respect to $a$$$mathfrakI(a)=intlimits_0^1mathrm dxspacefrac log(1+ax^2)1+x$$Thus$$beginalign*mathfrakI'(a) & =intlimits_0^1mathrm dxspaceleft[frac 1(1+a)(1+x)+frac x(1+a)(1+ax^2)-frac 1(1+a)(1+ax^2)right]\ & =frac 11+alog 2+frac log(1+a)2a(1+a)-frac 1sqrt a(1+a)arctansqrt aendalign*$$Integrate both sides with respect to $a$ and from zero to three to get (I used Wolfram Alpha on this step)$$intlimits_0^1mathrm dxspacefrac log(1+3x^2)1+xcolorbrown=log^22+frac 12operatornameLi_2left(-frac 13right)+frac 14log^23-frac pi^236$$Now add everything together and you should get the result I stated at the beginning of my answer.
