An interesting integral expression for $\pi^n$?
I came on the following multiple integral while renormalizing elliptic multiple zeta values:
$$\int_0^1\cdots \int_0^1\int_1^\infty {{1}\over{t_n(t_{n-1}+t_n)\cdots (t_1+\cdots+t_n)}} dt_n\cdots dt_1.$...

A closed form for an integral expressed as a finite series of $\zeta(2k+1)$, $\pi^m$ and a rational?
In this paper the following beautiful integral expression for $\zeta(3)$ is derived:
$$\zeta(3)=\frac{1}{7}\,\int_0^{\pi} x\,(\pi-x)\csc(x)\, dx$$
In a comment at the end of this question, I ...

integral of a "sin-omial" coefficients=binomial
I find the following averaged-integral amusing and intriguing, to say the least. Is there any proof?
For any pair of integers $n\geq k\geq0$, we have
$$\frac1{\pi}\int_0^{\pi}\frac{\sin^n(x)}{\...

Are these two new ways of representing odd zeta values as integrals known?
This is inspired by the same beautiful integral expression for $\zeta(3)$ as this question, but goes in a slightly different direction. Writing the original integral in the form $$\int_0^1\frac{x(1-x)}...

When does this method for integrals of fractional/integer parts work?
In a question
Agno suggested an interesting way to compute $\{x\}$ and $\zeta(s)$.
Define
$$ F(x) = \{x\} = x - \lfloor x \rfloor = \frac{i \, \log\left(-e^{\left(-2 i \, \pi x\right)}\right)}{2 \, \...

If $(a,b,c)$ are the sides of a triangle, then the probability $P(ax + by \ge c) = \frac{4}{\pi^2}\chi_2(x) + \frac{4}{\pi^2}\chi_2(y)$
Posting this question in MO since it is unanswered in MSE
Let $(a,b,c)$ be the side of a triangle. In its most general linear form, the triangle inequality can be expressed as: Does $ax + by \ge c$ ...

Mean value of a function associated with continued fractions
Suppose that an irrational $x$ in $(0,1)$ has convergents $c(k,x)$, and let
$$d(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \mid x - c(k,x)\mid.$$
What is the mean value of $d$?

Another integral that has a closed form involving finite series of $\zeta(2k+1)$'s. Could it be reflexive?
In the context of a series of questions here, here and here, about closed form expressions involving finite series of $\zeta(2k+1)$'s for certain integrals, I would like to raise another one:
$$f(n):=...

Could the patterns in the roots of the Riemann-Liouville differintegral for $(s-1)\,\zeta(s)$ be explained?
The well-known integral expression for the entire function:
$$(s-1)\,\zeta(s) = \frac{-i\,\pi}{2}\int_{1/2-i\infty}^{1/2+i\infty} \frac{\csc(\pi\,u)^2}{u^{s-1}} \, du \qquad s \in \mathbb{C} \tag{0}$$

Definite integral probably equal to zeta with known (but unusable) closed form for the indefinite integral
Related to this and
this questions.
Basically got definite integral that experimentally equals
$\zeta(s)$ both numerically and symbolically.
Closed form for the indefinite integral is known, but I ...
