On some explicit integrals related to “fractal foothills”
Abstract
In previous papers, we attempted to analyze the complete loop counting functions that count all loops in an infinite random walk, represented by the digits of a real number. In this paper, the consideration will be restricted to the partial loop counting functions V that count the returns to the origin only. This simplification allows us to find closed-form expressions for various integrals related to V. Some applications to the complete loop counting functions, in particular, their connections with Bernoulli polynomials, are also provided.
