Integral $ g(a)= \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\arctan(a \tan x)}{\tan x}dx $ [closed]
I am having trouble calculating this integral:
$$ g(a) = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\arctan(a \tan x)}{\tan x}dx $$
I tried calculating $g'(a)$ but then I get stuck.

Differential form of the multidimensional "orthogonal dilation" operator
For a one-dimensional $f(x)$, the dilation operator $f(ax)$ can be expressed as $\exp(g(D))f(x)$, where $g$ is a closed-form function. This is easily checked by e.g. formal Taylor series expansion.

Has this notion of "variation along the diagonal of a not-necessarily-smooth function" been studied before?
I am interested in knowing whether something along the lines of the "diagonal variation" defined below has been studied before. In spirit, the basic idea is that it is a kind of ...

Convergence region of multivariate rational functions
Assume $p, q \in \mathbb{R}[x_1,\ldots,x_k]$ and let $ \vec{0} \not\in V(q) := \{\vec{x} \in \mathbb{R}^k \mid q(\vec{x}) = 0 \}$ such that $r_q := \inf_{\vec{x}\in V(q)} |\!|\vec{x}|\!|_\infty < \...

Estimate the gradient (with respect to local coordinates) of a partition of unity on a manifold
Suppose $\{U_\alpha\}$ is an atlas of coordinate patches of a (noncompact) smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $n$, with coordinates $(x_\alpha^1,\dots,x_\alpha^n)$ on $U_\alpha$. Furthermore we assume ...

It is possible to limit a set of curves in the sense $f(x,y) \leq C f(x_0,y)$?
Suppose you have a continuous function $f:[a,b]\times (-\infty, \infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. I'm trying to understand if it's possible to conclude that due to the compactness of the interval $[a,b]...

Two-variable continuous function which results in an integer if and only if arguments are integer
I am looking for functions $f(x,y)$, real arguments, continuous,
with the following properties:
$f(m,n) = r$, where $r$ is integer $> 0$ if and only if $m,n$ are integers $> 0$.
$f(m,n) \le f(...
