A type of multiple integral with loggamma function

Abstract

In this paper, we study the multiple integral $ \displaystyle I= \int_0^1 \int_0^1 \dots \int_0^1 f(x_1+x_2 + \dots +x_n) \, dx_1 \, dx_2 \, \dots \, dx_n$. A general formula of $I$ is presented. As an application, the integral $I$ with $f(x)= \log \Gamma(x)$ is evaluated. We show that the values of $I$ share a common formula for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$. The subsidiary computational challenges are substantial and interesting in their own right.
