Berndt-type integrals: unveiling connections with Barnes zeta and Jacobi elliptic functions

Abstract We address a class of definite integrals known as Berndt-type integrals, highlighting their role as specialized instances within the integral representation framework of the Barnes-zeta function. Building upon the foundational insights of Xu and Zhao, who adeptly evaluate these integrals using rational linear combinations of Lambert-type series and derive closed-form expressions involving products of $$\Gamma ^4(1/4)$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>Γ</mml:mi> <mml:mn>4</mml:mn> </mml:msup> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mn>4</mml:mn> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> and $$\pi ^{-1}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>π</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>-</mml:mo> <mml:mn>1</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> </mml:math> , we uncover direct evaluations of the Barnes-zeta function. Moreover, our inquiry leads us to establish connections between Berndt-type integrals and Jacobi elliptic functions, as well as moment polynomials investigated by Lomont and Brillhart, a relationship elucidated through the seminal contributions of Kuznetsov. In this manner, we extend and integrate these diverse mathematical threads, unveiling deeper insights into the intrinsic connections and broader implications of Berndt-type integrals in special function and integration theory.
