Abstract:
A two-term functional equation for an infinite series involving the digamma function and a logarithmic factor is derived. A modular relation on p. 220 of Ramanujan’s Lost Notebook as well as a corresponding recent result for the derivative of Deninger’s function are two main ingredients in its derivation. An interesting integral H (x), which is of independent interest, plays a prominent role in our functional equation. Several alternative representations for H (x) are obtained.
