While browsing through the famous book of Bierens de Haan, we came across a table with some very interesting integrals. These integrals also appeared in the book of Gradshteyn and Ryzhik. Derivation of these integrals are not listed in the current literature to best of our knowledge. The derivation of such integrals in the book of Gradshteyn and Ryzhik in terms of closed form solutions is pertinent. We evaluate several of these definite integrals of the form ∫0∞(a+y)k−(a−y)keby−1dy, ∫0∞(a+y)k−(a−y)keby+1dy, ∫0∞(a+y)k−(a−y)ksinh(by)dy and ∫0∞(a+y)k+(a−y)kcosh(by)dy in terms of a special function where k, a and b are arbitrary complex numbers.

The derivation of integrals in the table of Gradshteyn and Ryzhik in terms of closed form solutions is always of interest. We evaluate several of these definite integrals of the form ∫ 0 ∞ log ( 1 ± e − α y ) R ( k , a , y ) d y in terms of a special function, where R ( k , a , y ) is a general function and k, a and α are arbitrary complex numbers, where R e ( α ) > 0 .

In this work the authors derive the Stieltjes transform of the logarithmic function in terms of the Lerch function. This transform is used to derive closed form solutions involving fundamental constants and special functions. Specifically we derive the definite integral given by\[\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{(1-b x)^m \log ^k(c (1-b x))+(b x+1)^m \log ^k(c (b x+1))}{a+x^2}dx\]where $a,b,c,m$ and $k$ are general complex numbers subject to the restrictions given in connection with the formulas.

We present a method using contour integration to derive definite integrals and their associated infinite sums which can be expressed as a special function. We give a proof of the basic equation and some examples of the method. The advantage of using special functions is their analytic continuation which widens the range of the parameters of the definite integral over which the formula is valid. We give as examples definite integrals of logarithmic functions times a trigonometric function. In various cases these generalizations evaluate to known mathematical constants such as Catalan’s constant and π

We present a method using contour integration to evaluate the definite integral of the form ∫ 0 ∞ log k ( a y ) R ( y ) d y in terms of special functions, where R ( y ) = y m 1 + α y n and k , m , a , α and n are arbitrary complex numbers. We use this method for evaluation as well as to derive some interesting related material and check entries in tables of integrals.

In this present work we derive, evaluate and produce a table of definite integrals involving logarithmic and exponential functions. Some of the closed form solutions derived are expressed in terms of elementary or transcendental functions. A substantial part of this work is new.

A finite time, minimum force rate-feedback-threshold controller is developed to bring a system with or without known external disturbances back into an “allowable” state bound in finite time. The disturbances are assumed to be expandable in terms of Fourier series. The optimal control is defined by a two-point boundary value problem coupled to a set of definite integral constraints. Quasi-closed form solutions are derived which replace the solution of the two-point boundary value problem and definite integral constraints with the solution of algebraic equations and the calculation of matrix exponentials. Examples are provided which demonstrate the threshold control technique and compare the quasi-closed form solutions with numerical and MACSYMA generated exact solutions.

Bierens de haan (1867) evaluated a definite integral involving the cotangent function and this result was also listed in Gradshteyn and Ryzhik (2007). The objective of this present note is to use this integral along with Cauchy's integral formula to derive a definite logarithmic integral in terms of the Lerch function. We will use this integral formula to produce a table of known and new results in terms of special functions and thereby expanding the list of definite integrals in both text books.

Ebisu and Iwassaki proved that there are three-term relations for 3F2(1) with a group symmetry of order 72. In this paper, we apply some specific three-term relations for 3F2(1) to partially answer the open problem raised by Miller and Paris in 2012. Given a known value 3F2((a,b,x),(c,x+1),1), if f−x is an integer, then we construct an algorithm to obtain 3F2((a,b,f),(c,f+n),1) in an explicit closed form, where n is a positive integer and a,b,c and f are arbitrary complex numbers. We also extend our results to evaluate some specific forms of p+1Fp(1), for any positive integer p≥2.

In this article, we examine a (3+1)-dimensional generalized breaking soliton equation which is highly applicable in the fields of engineering and nonlinear sciences. Closed-form solutions in the form of Jacobi elliptic functions of the underlying equation are derived by the method of Lie symmetry reductions together with direct integration. Moreover, the (G′/G)-expansion technique is engaged, which consequently guarantees closed-form solutions of the equation structured in the form of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. In addition, we secure a power series analytical solution of the underlying equation. Finally, we construct local conserved vectors of the aforementioned equation by employing two approaches: the general multiplier method and Ibragimov’s theorem.

This paper gives new integrals related to a class of special functions. This paper also showcases the derivation of definite integrals involving the quotient of functions with powers and the exponential function expressed in terms of the Lerch function and special cases involving fundamental constants. The goal of this paper is to expand upon current tables of definite integrals with the aim of assisting researchers in need of new integral formulae.
