The Mellin Transform of Logarithmic and Rational Quotient Function in terms of the Lerch Function

Abstract

Upon reading the famous book on integral transforms volume II by Erdeyli et al., we encounter a formula which we use to derive a Mellin transform given by ∫0∞xm−1logkax/β2+x2γ+xdx, where the parameters a,k,β, and γ are general complex numbers. This Mellin transform will be derived in terms of the Lerch function and is not listed in current literature to the best of our knowledge. We will use this transform to create a table of definite integrals which can be used to extend similar tables in current books featuring such formulae.
