integrate(x/(exp(2*pi*x)-1), (x, 0, oo)) can not be calculated #14066
Comments
Closely related to #8169 |
My Wolfram Mathematica 11.2 calculated it in 0.1 sec. If "-1" is replaced with "+1", Mathematica gives 1/48. I posted a similar issue a few days ago (#14035). My feeling is SymPy's integration is not yet ready for prime time. |
@tverticalis, if SymPy was successful with |
The first integral yields ConditionalExpression[(-2 + a Coth[a/2])/(4 a), Abs[Im[a]] < 2 Pi]. |
The 2nd integral can be expressed more cleanly, it is a rational multiple of pi**(2n+1), and the rational number can be written explicitly in terms of Euler's numbers (I was implicitly assuming that n is a nonnegative integer) |
This level of analytical depth/elegance may be too much for automated systems. |
I'm amazed that symbolic algebra systems can compute so many sums and integrals in terms of polylogs and polygammas, completely different to the way I do it |
The result is 1/24
>>> integrate(x/(exp(2*pi*x)-1), (x, 0, oo))
Integral(x/((exp(pi*x) - 1)*(exp(pi*x) + 1)), (x, 0, oo))
Wolfram alpha can't do it either
