On a type of sequence of integrals inspired in the Borwein integral and an integral due to Furdui

This post is inspired in the Borwein integral, and in a problem proposed by Ovidiu Furdui in Crux Mathematicorum, that is the Problem 3707, in page 151. I've considered integrals of the form $$\int_0^...

Intuitive explanation of regularized products

I've come across some regularized product during study of zeta regularization . We can prove various results like : $ \infty != \prod_{k=1}^\infty k = \sqrt{2\pi} $ I also know the proof using $\...

About infinite products and Euler Gamma functions [closed]

I am interested in knowing how to calculate infinite products like (or reading any reference about it): $$\prod_{j=1}^{\infty}\left( 1-\left( \frac{x}{a+j\pi} \right) ^2 \right)$$ Inserting it into ...

Why is $\sup f_- (n) \inf f_+ (m) = \frac{5}{4} $?

This question is an old question from mathstackexchange. Let $f_- (n) = \Pi_{i=0}^n ( \sin(i) - \frac{5}{4}) $ And let $ f_+(m) = \Pi_{i=0}^m ( \sin(i) + \frac{5}{4} ) $ It appears that we have $$\sup ...

Is there an infinite product like this for $\cos x$?

There are infinite products of iterated square roots for $\log x$ and $\arccos x$ as functions of $x$. For example $$\log x = \frac{x - 1}{\sqrt{x}\sqrt{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{1 + x}{...

Nonzero solutions of an infinite product

Let $-\frac{1}{2}\le a \le\frac{1}{2}$ and $b\in[0,\infty)$. Definitions: $$f_k(a;b):=\frac{(2k+\frac{1}{2}+a)^2+b}{(2k+\frac{1}{2}-a)^2+b}(\frac{k}{k+1})^{2a},$$ $$f(a;b):=\prod\limits_{k=1}^\infty ...

Two (strictly related) proofs by induction of inequalities

This is a question I originally asked on MSE, receiving no answer, even with a bounty (which expired) on it. Therefore I am crosslinking in order to prevent duplication of effort: see here for the ...
