On some explicit integrals related to "fractal foothills"

Abstract

In the previous papers, we tried to analyze the complete loop counting functions that count all the loops in an infinite random walk represented by digits of a real number. In this paper, the consideration will be restricted to the partial loop counting functions $V$ that count the returns to the origin only. This simplification allows us to find closed-form expressions for various integrals related to $V$. Some applications to the complete loop counting functions, in particular, their connections with Bernoulli polynomials, are also provided.
