We have the integral:
[tex]I(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty}\log\left(1+\frac{s^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} \log^{2}(1+ix)\right ) e^{-2\pi nx}dx[/tex]
Where [itex]s[/itex] is a complex parameter, and [itex]n[/itex] is a positive integer.
Things i tried:
Set [itex]\log(1+ix)=y[/itex], so that
[tex]I(s)=-i\int_{c}\log\left(1+\frac{s^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}y^{2} \right )\exp\left(2\pi in e^{y} \right )e^{y}dy[/tex]
Where the path [itex]c[/itex] has to be defined !
