| contents | In this paper, we develop new identities for the inverse tangent integral by connecting it to the dilogarithmic (polylogarithmic) structure and to a carefully designed auxiliary arctangent integral $Ti_2(a)$ with a tunable endpoint. The core idea is based on the introduction of an auxiliary integral depending on two parameters and analyzing it via a generating-function perspective. This converts the integral into an explicit formula, yielding a compact representation in terms of the real part of a dilogarithmic expression plus a companion dilogarithm contribution. In parallel, the inverse tangent integral is rewritten through standard integral transformations into a form governed by the imaginary part of a dilogarithm evaluated at a complex argument, producing a clean polylogarithmic description. Overall, we establish a coherent bridge between arctangent-type integrals, identities connected to Catalan's constant, and the systematic generation of new integral representations and decompositions. |
