This article was created on December 17, 2013. Its initial source was a paper published on Arxiv (which is not a journal, but a preprint repository) four days earlier, on December 13, 2013, by a researcher with apparently no academic affiliation. The paper contains a proof of the formula (using the Stieltjes integral) that it seems to present as if it were new, when in fact this is a simple exercise in an undergraduate analysis textbook of the 1960s (Burkill, *A Second Course in Mathematical Analysis*, Section 6.7, Exercise 6), and was no doubt known before then.

I am no longer an active editor on Wikipedia, but I wanted to draw editors' attention to the fact that one of the primary references in this article is of dubious reliability and, judging by appearances, may well have been introduced by an editor with a vested interest.[[Special:Contributions/24.50.177.199|24.50.177.199]] ([[User talk:24.50.177.199|talk]]) 02:26, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
