This article is devoted to a family of logarithmic integrals recently treated in mathematical literature, as well as to some closely related results. First, it is shown that the problem is much older than usually reported. In particular, the so-called Vardi’s integral, which is a particular case of the considered family of integrals, was first evaluated by Carl Malmsten and colleagues in 1842. Then, it is shown that under some conditions, the contour integration method may be successfully used…

Malmsten’s integral and some related results: A diﬀerent approach with Special functions

This paper is devoted to a case of the logarithmic integrals studied by Blagouchine in 2014. It was clariﬁed in his work on the rediscovery of Malmsten’s integrals that the previously called Vardi

Simple evaluation of one of Malmst\'en's integrals

The logarithmic integral no. 4.325.7 from Gradshteyn and Ryzhik’s tables of integrals was first evaluated by Malmstén. Recently, Blagouchine used contour integration methods to evaluate a family of

Three Notes on Ser's and Hasse's Representations for the Zeta-functions

This paper shows that the famous Hasse's series for the zeta-function is equivalent to an earlier expression given by a little-known French mathematician Joseph Ser in 1926, and shows that there exist numerous series of the same nature.
