Representing an integral as a finite sum












4












$begingroup$



Question: If $a$ is in an arbitrary commensurable ratio to $pi$, that is $a=tfrac {mpi}n$, then if $m+n$ is odd$$intlimits_0^1mathrm dy,frac {y^xsin a}{1+2ycos a+y^2}=frac 12sumlimits_{i=1}^{n-1}(-1)^{i-1}sin ialeft[frac {mathrm dGammaleft(frac {x+n+i}{2n}right)}{mathrm dx}-frac {mathrm dGammaleft(frac {x+i}{2n}right)}{mathrm dx}right]$$and when $m+n$ is even$$intlimits_0^1mathrm dy,frac {y^xsin a}{1+2ycos a+y^2}=frac 12sumlimits_{i=1}^{(n-1)/2}(-1)^{i-1}sin ialeft[frac {mathrm dGammaleft(frac {x+n+i}nright)}{mathrm dx}-frac {mathrm dGammaleft(frac {x+i}nright)}{mathrm dx}right]$$




I’m just having difficulty finding out where to start. Since the integral equals an infinite sum, it might be wise to start off with a taylor expansion of some sort. However, which function to expand I’m not very sure.



If you guys have any idea, I would be happy to hear them. Thanks!

            @Nosrati Okay I've replaced $2cos a$ with $e^{ia}+e^{-ia}$. Then, I factored the denominator and expanded to get the $a_n$ term as$$a_n=sumlimits_{k=0}^{n}(-1)^k e^{(n-2k)ia}=frac {sin a(n+1)}{sin a}$$Therefore, the sum equals$$intlimits_0^1mathrm dy,frac {y^xsin a}{1+2ycos a+y^2}=sumlimits_{ngeq1}frac {(-1)^{n-1}sin an}{x+n}$$I can see that the two are very close, but how do I arrive at the gamma functions? Additionally, how does the infinite sum which we have become finite?
