Review text

Using Euler's transformation formula for series, the author proves that \[ \int_0^\infty {{f(x)}\over x} dx = \sum_{n=1}^\infty {1\over n} \Biggl[ \sum_{k=1}^n (-1)^k \biggl(\begin{matrix} n\cr k\end{matrix}\biggr) a_k \Biggr] \] if \(f\) is a real-valued function defined on \([0, \infty)\), with Maclaurin expansion \(f(x)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n a_n x^n\). The value of the above integral can also be obtained by assuming that the coefficients \(a_n\) extend to a complex differentiable function on \([0, \infty)\) given by a Laplace transform with respect to a finite measure. Pertinent examples conclude the paper.
