Two Forms for Maclaurin Power Series Expansion of Logarithmic Expression Involving Tangent Function

Abstract

In view of a general formula for higher order derivatives of the ratio of two differentiable functions, the authors establish the first form for the Maclaurin power series expansion of a logarithmic expression in term of determinants of special Hessenberg matrices whose elements involve the Bernoulli numbers. On the other hand, for comparison, the authors recite and revise the second form for the Maclaurin power series expansion of the logarithmic expression in terms of the Bessel zeta functions and the Bernoulli numbers.
