Introduce the Mellin transform integral , valid for . A keyhole contour for with has residues and , with the latter argument . The two sides of the positive-axis cut give . The small and large arcs vanish in this strip; simplifying the residue theorem identity yieldsDifferentiation under the integral is valid on compact substrips because the extra is dominated at both endpoints. ThereforeAt , the requested values are
