DUIS: ∫ log(1+a²x²)/(1+b²x²) dx
Short answer
Differentiate with respect to a, apply partial fractions, and integrate using ∫₀^∞ dx/(1+k²x²)=π/(2k) to get dI/da = π/(b(a+b)). Integrating back with I(0)=0 yields (π/b) log(1 + a/b).
Apply the method of differentiation under integral sign to evaluate ∫₀^∞ log(1+a²x²)/(1+b²x²) dx.
Let I(a) = ∫₀^∞ log(1 + a²x²)/(1 + b²x²) dx, with a, b > 0. Differentiate with respect to a:
dI/da = ∫₀^∞ 2a x² / [(1 + a²x²)(1 + b²x²)] dx
Partial fractions. Since 1/(1 + a²x²) − 1/(1 + b²x²) = (b² − a²)x² / [(1 + a²x²)(1 + b²x²)],
x² / [(1 + a²x²)(1 + b²x²)] = [1/(b² − a²)] [1/(1 + a²x²) − 1/(1 + b²x²)].
Using ∫₀^∞ dx/(1 + k²x²) = π/(2k):
dI/da = 2a/(b²−a²) · (π/2)(1/a − 1/b)
= 2a/(b²−a²) · π(b−a)/(2ab)
= π / (b(a+b))
Integrate with respect to a:
I(a) = (π/b) log(a + b) + C
When a = 0 the integrand is log 1 = 0, so I(0) = 0: C = −(π/b) log b.
Answer: ∫₀^∞ log(1 + a²x²)/(1 + b²x²) dx = (π/b) log((a + b)/b) = (π/b) log(1 + a/b).
