Let $I(n):=\int_0^1 [x^n+(1-x)^n]^\frac1n dx.$ In this paper, we show that $I(n)= \sum_0^\infty \frac{I_i}{n^i},n\rightarrow \infty$ and we compute $I_i, i =0..5$, obtained by polylog functions and Euler sums. As a corollary, we obtain explicit expressions for some integrals involving functions $ u^i, exp(-u), (1 +exp(-u))^j , ln(1 + exp(-u))^k$ . As another asymptotic result, let $S_0(z):=\frac{Li_m(1)}{Li_m(1)-Li_m(z)}$, where $Li_m(z)$ is the polylog function. We provide the asymptotic behaviour of $S_n,n\rightarrow \infty$ where $S_n:=[z^n]S_0(z)$. This paper fits within the framework of analytic combinatorics.

  1. Asymptotic expansions of integrals and Nielsen's polylogarithms

    math.NT 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Derives asymptotic expansions for integrals ∫ f(u) (1 + q u^n)^{w/n} du as n→∞ with coefficients in Nielsen polylogarithms, reducing to zeta values via symmetry for q=1 and to ordinary zetas for q=-1.
