$$\psi\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)=−\gamma+\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{1}} \frac{\mathrm{1}−{x}^{−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}} }{\mathrm{1}−{x}}{dx}=−\gamma+\mathrm{2}\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{1}} \frac{{x}−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{dx} \\ $$$$=−\gamma−\mathrm{2}{log}\left(\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$

$${I}\left({b}\right)=\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{1}} {t}^{{a}−\mathrm{1}} \left(\mathrm{1}−{t}\right)^{{b}−\mathrm{1}} {dt}=\frac{\Gamma\left({a}\right)\Gamma\left({b}\right)}{\Gamma\left({a}+{b}\right)} \\ $$$${I}'\left({b}\right)=\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{1}} {t}^{{a}−\mathrm{1}} \left(\mathrm{1}−{t}\right)^{{b}−\mathrm{1}} {log}\left(\mathrm{1}−{t}\right){dt} \\ $$$$=\frac{\Gamma\left({a}\right)\left(\Gamma\left({a}+{b}\right)\Gamma'\left({b}\right)−\Gamma'\left({a}+{b}\right)\Gamma\left({b}\right)\right)}{\Gamma^{\mathrm{2}} \left({a}+{b}\right)} \\ $$$${put}\:{b}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\:\:\:{a}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$
