Need help evaluating Evaluating the integral $\int_{1}^{\infty}\frac{\{u\}}{u^{2}}\left(\log u\right)^{k}du.$

Hello,

I am trying to find a formula for the following integral for non-negative integer $k$:

$$\int_1^{\infty}\frac{\{u\}}{u^{2}}\left(\log u\right)^{k}du.$$

My first thought was to use the formula $$\zeta(s)-\frac{1}{s-1}=1-s\int_1^\infty u^{-s-1}\{u\}du$$ where $\{u\}$ refers to the fractional part. We can then take derivatives with respect to $s$ and use the Laurent expansion for $\zeta(s)$. It follows that each integral must be a finite linear combination of the Stieltjes Constants. All of the coefficients must be integers, and $\gamma_n$ can only appear if $n\leq k$. (This checks out numerically for $k=0,1,2$) Unfortunately, I am not sure what the pattern is, but I feel these particular integrals must be very common, and must have been dealt with before so I. I am hoping someone can give me a reference, or give a solution.

Thanks a lot,
