TITLE: How to compute the following integral in $n$ variables?
QUESTION [16 upvotes]: How can the following integral be calculated:
$$
I_n=\int_0^1\int_0^1\cdots\int_0^1\frac{\prod_{k=1}^{n}\left(\frac{1-x_k}{1+x_k}\right)}{1-\prod_{k=1}^{n}x_k}dx_1\cdots dx_{n-1}dx_n
$$
There should be $n$ integral signs, but I didn't know how to write that. 
It is easy to show that $I_1=\ln(2)$. After partial fractioning and the help of Wolfram Alpha, I managed to show that $I_2=4\ln(2)-2\ln^2(2)-\frac{\pi^2}{6}$. 
But how to derive a general result? Any help would be highly appreciated!
Edit:
As a supplementary question, how to calculate this slightly modified integral:
$$
J_n=\int_0^1\int_0^1\cdots\int_0^1\frac{\prod_{k=1}^{n}\left(\frac{1-x_k}{1+x_k}\right)}{1+\prod_{k=1}^{n}x_k}dx_1\cdots dx_{n-1}dx_n
$$
Again, it can be shown easily, that $J_1=1-\ln(2)$.

REPLY [6 votes]: In this answer, I will provide a method that uses iterated partial summation on the alternating Harmonic numbers that will allow you to explicitly evaluate either of these integrals for any $n$.
Start by expanding the series $$\frac{1}{1-\prod_{k}x_{k}}=1+\prod_{k}x_{k}+\prod_{k}x_{k}^{2}+\cdots$$ so that $$I_{n}=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}\left(\int_{0}^{1}\frac{1-x}{1+x}x^{j}dx\right)^{n}=\sum_{j=0}^\infty r_j^n.$$ Next we will rewrite $r_j$ in a more manageable form. Expanding the power series we have that $$r_j=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{1-x}{1+x}x^{j}dx=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{k}\int_{0}^{1}(1-x)x^{j+k}dx,$$ and by the Beta function identity $$\text{B}(x,y)=\frac{\Gamma(x)\Gamma(y)}{\Gamma(x+y)}$$ we obtain $$r_j=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{k}\frac{1}{(k+j+1)(k+j+2)}.$$ The terms in this series may be split by partial fractions yielding $$(-1)^{j}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{k+j}}{k+j+1}+(-1)^{j}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{k+j+1}}{k+j+2}$$ and since $\sum_{k=0}^\infty (-1)^k/(k+1)=\log2$ we have $$r_j=(-1)^{j}\left(2\log2-H_j'-H_{j+1}'\right)$$ where $$H_j'=\sum_{k=1}^{j}\frac{(-1)^{k-1}}{k}$$ is the $j^{th}$ alternating harmonic number. To evaluate the series, we need only compute the partial sums of $$\sum_{j=0}^m (-1)^{nj}\left(2\log2-H_j'-H_{j+1}'\right)^n$$ for any $n,m$. This can be done explicitly using the technique of iterated partial summation as shown in this answer. This will yield an exact answer for any $n$.
