Let $x, y, z$ be positive real numbers. Prove that:
$$ \sqrt{\frac{x}{x+y}} + \sqrt{\frac{y}{y+z}} + \sqrt{\frac{z}{z+x}} \leq \frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}$$

Let $a\geq 1$. Prove that:
$$\int_{0}^{\pi} \left ( 1 + \cos x \right ) \ln \left ( a + \cos x \right )\, \mathrm{d}x = \pi \left ( a - \sqrt{a^2-1} \right ) + \pi \ln \left ( \frac{a + \sqrt{a^2-1}}{2} \right )$$
$$\int_{0}^{\pi} \left ( 1 + \cos x \right ) \ln \left ( a + \cos x \right )\, \mathrm{d}x = \pi \left ( a - \sqrt{a^2-1} \right ) + \pi \ln \left ( \frac{a + \sqrt{a^2-1}}{2} \right )$$

Re: Trigonometric logarithmic integral
We are using the following results: 1. $\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^n \cos (na)}{n}=-\frac{1}{2}\ln \left ( x^2-2x \cos a+1 \right ) \; , \; \left | x \right |<1$ 2. $\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(-1)^n \frac{\sin n x}{n}=-\frac{x}{2}\; , \; \left | x \right |<\pi$ 3. $\displaystyle...

Re: Trigonometric logarithmic integral
We note that $$\ln \left ( \frac{x^2+2kx \cos b+k^2}{x^2+2kx\cos a+k^2} \right )=\ln \left ( x^2+2kx \cos \alpha +k^2 \right ) \bigg|_{\alpha =a}^{\alpha =b}$$ Hence, \begin{align*} \int^{\infty}_{0} \frac{1}{x}\ln\left(\frac{x^2+2kx\cdot \cos b+k^2}{x^2+2k x\cdot \cos a+k^2}\right)\,dx &= \int_...

Re: A series involving alternating Harmonic numbers
We are proving that $\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n+1} \mathcal{H}_n}{n} = \frac{\pi^2}{12} - \frac{\ln^2 2}{2}$. Indeed, note that: \begin{align*} \sum_{n=1}^N\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n}H_n &=\sum_{n=1}^N\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^2}+\sum_{n=2}^N\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n}H_{n-1}\\ &=\sum_{n=1}...

Re: Not a Hopfian group
Well, we define $f:\mathcal{G} \rightarrow \mathcal{G}$ by $f(x)=x^2$ and $f(y)=y$ and extend it to $\mathcal{G}$ homomorphically. Since $\mathcal{G}$ is well defined then $f$ is a surjective because $$f\left ( y^{-1} xy x^{-1} \right ) = x$$ but not an isomorphism because if we take $z=y^{-1} x y$ ...

Re: \(\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{n\log{n}}\)
Basically it equals to
$$\int_1^\infty \left( 1+\left(2^{1-s}-1\right)\zeta(s) \right) \, \mathrm{d}s$$
However, the $\zeta$ function does not behave well under integrals. So, I would not expect a closed form to exist ... !

Re: An inequality
The Engels form of the Cauchy – Schwartz inequality gives us: \begin{align*} \sum \frac{\log_{x_1}^4 x_2}{x_1+x_2} & \geq \frac{\left (\sum \log_{x_1}^2 x_2 \right )^2}{\sum (x_1+x_2)} \\ &= \frac{\left ( \sum \log_{x_1}^2 x_2 \right )^2}{2\sum x_1} \\ &\!\!\!\!\!\!\overset{\text{AM-GM}}...

Arithmotheoretic limit
Evaluate the limit:
$$\ell= \lim_{n \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} \sum_{m=1}^{n} n \pmod m$$
$$\ell= \lim_{n \rightarrow +\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} \sum_{m=1}^{n} n \pmod m$$

Re: A logarithmic Poisson integral
It is closely related to another famous integral; namely $$\int_{0}^{\pi}\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta}{1-2a\cos \theta+a^2}\quad , \quad |a|<1$$ Evaluation of the integral: For $|a|<1$ we have successively: \begin{align*} \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{{\rm d}x}{1-2a \cos x+a^2} &= \frac{1}{2} \int_{-\pi}^{\pi...
