What is the value of this expression involving the dilogarithm $operatorname{Li}_2$ and $sqrt{2}$?












1














I'm carrying out a calculation, and the end result is $$operatorname{Li}_2(1/sqrt2) - operatorname{Li}_2(1 - 1/sqrt2) +
operatorname{Li}_2(2 - sqrt2) - operatorname{Li}_2(sqrt{2} - 1).$$
The value appears to be $pi^2/12$. How does one prove this?

    Where we can presume: $operatorname{Li}_2(z)=sum_{k=1}^infty frac{z^k}{k^2}$ the dilogarithm function.

    Note that $pi^2/12 =zeta(2)/2 =frac{1}{2} sum_{k=1}^infty frac{1}{k^2}$. So this can give you a direction in which to manipulate this expression.

The following identity could be found in Russion version of article about dilogarithm:



$$begin{aligned}operatorname{Li}_2(xy)&=operatorname{Li}_2(x)+operatorname{Li}_2(y)-operatorname{Li}_2left(frac{x(1-y)}{1-xy}right)-operatorname{Li}_2left(frac{y(1-x)}{1-xy}right)-\
&-lnleft(frac{1-x}{1-xy}right)lnleft(frac{1-y}{1-xy}right)end{aligned}$$
Therefore
$$begin{aligned}
operatorname{Li}_2(x)+operatorname{Li}_2(y)&=operatorname{Li}_2(xy)+operatorname{Li}_2left(frac{x(1-y)}{1-xy}right)+operatorname{Li}_2left(frac{y(1-x)}{1-xy}right)+\
&+lnleft(frac{1-x}{1-xy}right)lnleft(frac{1-y}{1-xy}right)
end{aligned}$$
Now we can simplify the original expression (let's name it $E$):



$$begin{aligned}E&=left(operatorname{Li}_2frac1{sqrt2}+operatorname{Li}_2left(2-sqrt2right)right)-operatorname{Li}_2left(1-frac1{sqrt2}right)-operatorname{Li}_2(sqrt2-1)=\
&=color{red}{operatorname{Li}_2(sqrt2-1)}+operatorname{Li}_2left(frac{frac1{sqrt2}(1-(2-sqrt2))}{1-(sqrt2-1)}right)+operatorname{Li}_2left(frac{(2-sqrt2)(1-frac1{sqrt2})}{1-(sqrt2-1)}right)+\
&+lnleft(frac{1-(2-sqrt2)}{1-(sqrt2-1)}right)lnleft(frac{1-frac1{sqrt2}}{1-(sqrt2-1)}right)-operatorname{Li}_2left(1-frac1{sqrt2}right)color{red}{-operatorname{Li}_2(sqrt2-1)}=\
&=operatorname{Li}_2left(frac12right)+color{red}{operatorname{Li}_2left(1-frac1{sqrt2}right)}+lnleft(frac1{sqrt2}right)lnleft(frac12right)color{red}{-operatorname{Li}_2left(1-frac1{sqrt2}right)}=\
&=frac{pi^2}{12}-frac12ln^22+frac12ln^22=frac{pi^2}{12}
end{aligned}$$



In the last line special value of $operatorname{Li}_2left(frac12right)$ was used which equals to $frac{pi^2}{12}-frac12ln^22$.
