Question on the paper Donal F. Connon, "Some integrals involving the Stieltjes constants"

351 Views Asked by At

I'm reading Donal F. Connon, Some integrals involving the Stieltjes constants.

It gives a definition of the generalized Stieltjes constants $\gamma_n(u)$ as coefficients in the Laurent series expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function (formula $(2.3)$ on page $7$): $$\zeta(s,u)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac1{(n+u)^s}=\frac1{s-1}+\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^n}{n!}\gamma_n(u)\,(s-1)^n$$

It also gives the following integral representation (formula $(2.4)$ on page $7$): $$\int_0^1\left[\frac1{1-y}+\frac1{\log y}\right]y^{u-1}\log\left|\log y\right|dy=-2\gamma_1(u)-\gamma\,\gamma_0(u)-\log^2u-\gamma\log u$$ Recall that $\gamma_0(u)$ in the second term is just a negation of the digamma function: $\gamma_0(u)=-\psi(u)$.

The given integral representation does not check numerically for me, e.g. for $u=1$ the integral on the left is $$-0.26036207832404194945778976048034290752168080191529...$$ but the numeric value of the right hand side is $$-0.18754623284036522459720338460544158838394446358095...$$ Further numeric calculations suggest that the right hand side should instead be $$-\gamma_1(u)-\gamma\,\gamma_0(u)-\frac{\log^2u}2-\gamma\log u$$

Is it an error in the paper, or I just misunderstand something?
