Can this Casimir-effect integral be reduced to a special function?
This integral plays a central role in a physics problem (Casimir effect)${}^\ast$
$$\Omega(\phi,L)=-\frac{1}{\pi}\operatorname{Re}\int_0^\infty \ln\bigl[1+\beta(\omega)^2 e^{i\phi-2\omega L}\bigr]\,d\...

Integral involving square of associated Laguerre polynomial and sperical bessel function
In a quantum mechanical problem I encountered the integral
$$I_k=\int_0^\infty x^{2(l+1)-k}j_k(\sigma x)e^{-x}[L_{n-l-1}^{2l+1}(x)]^2 dx,$$
where $j_k(x)$ is a spherical Bessel function, and $\sigma$ ...

Perform an integration over the unit interval of a two-parameter expression involving a Gauss hypergeometric function
In a quantum-information-theoretic context, I've encountered the problem
of integrating over $r \in [0,1]$, the function
\begin{equation}
r^{2 d-1} \, _2F_1\left(-\frac{d}{2},\frac{d}{2};\frac{d+2}{2}...

Summation of series involving $\sinh$ of a square root
Consider the following series:
$$
S = \sum_{\text{odd } n} \sum_{\text{odd } m} \frac{(-1)^{(n+m)/2}}{nm} \frac{\sinh( \pi \sqrt{n^2 + m^2}/2)}{\sinh( \pi \sqrt{n^2 + m^2})}
$$
From the physical ...
