The integral $$\int^{\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}}_{1}\frac{x^2+1}{x^4-x^2+1}\ln\left(x-\frac{1}{x}+1\right)dx$$ presents challenges in evaluation, prompting discussions on suitable methods. Participants suggest exploring substitution techniques and integration by parts, while others mention numerical approximation as a potential approach. Some have attempted partial fraction decomposition to simplify the integrand. The complexity of the logarithmic term adds to the difficulty, leading to considerations of series expansion. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for innovative strategies to tackle this integral effectively.
