| contents | In an interesting article entitled "A curious formula related to the Euler Gamma function", Bakir Farhi posed the open question of whether it was possible to obtain an expression of $$ \boldsymbolη=2\int_0^1\logΓ(x)\,\cdot\sin(2πx)\,\mathrm{d}x=0.7687478924\dots $$ in terms of the known mathematical constants as $π$, $\logπ$, $\log 2$, $Γ(1/4)$, $e$, etc. In the present work, we show that $$ \boldsymbolη=\frac{1}π\left[γ+\log(2π)\right], $$ where $γ$ is the usual Euler-Mascheroni constant, and provide two different proofs, the first one involving the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant, and the second one based on the Malmstén integral representation of $\logΓ(x)$. The resulting formula can also be obtained directly from the knowledge of the Fourier series expansion of $\logΓ(x)$. |
