How to integrate $int_0^{+infty} frac{x^2ln x}{x^4-x^3+1},mathrm{d}x$?

$begingroup$


First I think it may use the method of contour integration,but I have no idea how to create a contour.And is there some normal method to solve it? $$int_0^{+infty} frac{x^2ln x}{x^4-x^3+1},mathrm{d}x$$

    The standard way is express the real integral in terms of a contour integral involving $log(-z)^2$ with +ve x-axis as branch cut over a keyhole contour $C : infty - iepsilon to -iepsilon to -epsilon to i epsilon to infty + iepsilon $. $$int_0^infty frac{x^2log x}{x^4 - x^3 + 1}dx = frac{i}{4pi}int_C frac{z^2log(-z)^2 dz}{z^4 -z^3 + 1}$$ One then evaluate the contour integral by a partial fraction decomposition of the rational part of its integrand and taking residues.
