## Integrating a cosine log integral around a semi-circle contour

Prove that  $$\int^1_0 \frac{\cos(\log x)}{x^2+1}\,dx = \frac{\pi}{4}\mathrm{sech}\left( \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$$ First note that $$2 \int^1_0 \frac{\cos(\log x) }{x^2+1}\,dx = \int^\infty_0 \frac{\cos(\log x)}{x^2+1}\,dx$$ Integrate the following function $$f(z) = \frac{e^{i\log(z)}}{z^2+1}$$ Around a semi-circle in the upper half place. Where we avoid the branch … Continue reading

## Contour integraion of a rational function of logarithm and exponential

$$\int_{0}^\infty \frac{\log(x)\cos(x)}{(x^2+1)^2}\,dx = – \frac{\pi \mathrm{Ei}(1)}{4e}-\frac{\pi}{4e}$$   $$\textit{proof}$$ Consider the following function $$f(z) = \frac{\log(z) }{(z^2+1)^2}e^{iz}$$ Now consider the principle logarithm where $$\log(z) = \log|r|+i \theta \,\,\, , \theta \,\in (-\pi , \pi]$$ Consider the following contour   Then by … Continue reading
