$\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\ln\left(1+4\sin^4 x\right)\mathrm{d}x$ y la proporción áurea

Question

Ya sabemos que, para cualquier número real $t$ tal que $t\geq-1$,

$$ \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \ln \left(1+t \sin^2 x\right) \mathrm{d}x = \pi \ln \left( \frac{1+\sqrt{1+t}}{2} \right). $$

Demostrar que

$$ \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \ln \left(1+4\sin^4 x\right) \mathrm{d}x = \pi \ln \left( \frac{\varphi+\sqrt{\varphi}}{2} \right) $$ donde $\displaystyle \varphi = \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}$ es la proporción áurea.

Answer 1

Sugerencia: $\quad1+t^2\sin^4x~=~(1-ti\sin^2x)\cdot(1+ti\sin^2x),\qquad\log(ab)=\log a+\log b,\quad$ y

$\Re(\pm~ti)>-1$.

\begin{align}& \partiald{}{\mu}\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\ln\pars{1 + \mu\sin^{4}\pars{x}}\,\dd x =\int_{0}^{\pi/2}{\sin^{4}\pars{x} \over 1 + \mu\sin^{4}\pars{x}}\,\dd x \\[3mm]&={\pi \over 2\mu} -{1 \over \mu}\color{#c00000}{\int_{0}^{\pi/2} {\dd x \over 1 + \mu\sin^{4}\pars{x}}} \end{align}

Está de acuerdo con el OP propuesto respuesta $\color{#000}{\large\quad\ds{\pi\,\ln\pars{\varphi + \root{\varphi} \over 2}}}$.

Answer 3

Vamos a ponerlo con números reales.

Tenemos

$$ \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \ln \left(1+t\sin^4 x\right) \mathrm{d}x = \pi \ln \left( \frac{1}{4} \sqrt{ 1 + \sqrt{1+t} } \left( \sqrt{1 + \sqrt{1+t} } + \sqrt{2} \right) \right) \quad t \geq -1. $$
