Firstly, set this integral as
I = 0 1 arctan ( x 3 ) 1 + x   d x .
Then, we have
I = 0 1 arctan ( x 3 ) 1 + x   d x = 0 1 arctan ( x 3 )   d ln ( 1 + x ) = π ln 2 4 3 0 1 x 2 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 + x 6   d x = π ln 2 4 + 0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 + x 2   d x 0 1 ( 1 + x 2 ) ln ( 1 + x ) 1 x 2 + x 4   d x = π ln 2 4 + π ln 2 8 1 2 0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 3 x + x 2   d x 1 2 0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 + 3 x + x 2   d x = 3 π ln 2 8 1 2 ( J 1 + J 2 ) .
Where the red integral could be calculated as
0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 + x 2   d x x 1 x 1 + x = 0 1 ln 2 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 + x 2   d x = ln 2 2 0 1 1 1 + x 2   d x = π ln 2 8 .
Next, we might as well let
J 1 ( a ) = 0 1 ln ( 1 + a x ) 1 3 x + x 2   d x .
Where a > 1. Then, we get
J 1 ( a ) = 0 1 x ( 1 + a x ) ( 1 3 x + x 2 )   d x = 1 2 ( 1 + 3 a + a 2 ) 0 1 2 x 3 1 3 x + x 2   d x a 1 + 3 a + a 2 0 1 1 1 + a x   d x + 2 a + 3 2 ( 1 + 3 a + a 2 ) 0 1 1 1 3 x + x 2   d x = 1 2 ( 1 + 3 a + a 2 ) ln [ 1 3 x + x 2 ( 1 + a x ) 2 ] | 0 1 + 2 ( 2 a + 3 ) 1 + 3 a + a 2 0 1 1 1 + ( 2 x 3 ) 2   d x = ln ( 2 3 ) 2 ln ( 1 + a ) 2 ( 1 + 3 a + a 2 ) + 2 a + 3 1 + 3 a + a 2 arctan ( 2 x 3 ) | 0 1 = ln ( 2 3 ) 2 ( 1 + 3 a + a 2 ) + 5 π ( 2 a + 3 ) 12 ( 1 + 3 a + a 2 ) ln ( 1 + a ) 1 + 3 a + a 2 .
Note that J 1 ( 0 ) = 0, J 1 = J 1 ( 1 ), hence
J 1 = J 1 ( 1 ) = 0 1 J 1 ( a )   d a + J 1 ( 0 ) = ln ( 2 3 ) 2 0 1 1 1 + 3 a + a 2   d a + 5 π 12 0 1 2 a + 3 1 + 3 a + a 2   d a 0 1 ln ( 1 + a ) 1 + 3 a + a 2   d a a x = 2 ln ( 2 3 ) 0 1 1 1 + ( 2 a + 3 ) 2   d a + 5 π 12 ln ( 1 + 3 a + a 2 ) | 0 1 0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 + 3 x + x 2   d x = π ln ( 2 3 ) + 5 π ln ( 2 + 3 ) 12 0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 + 3 x + x 2   d x = π ln ( 2 + 3 ) 3 0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 + 3 x + x 2   d x .
After that, note that
J 1 ( 1 ) = 0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 3 x + x 2   d x
J 2 = 0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 + 3 x + x 2   d x .
Thus
0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 3 x + x 2   d x + 0 1 ln ( 1 + x ) 1 + 3 x + x 2   d x = J 1 + J 2 = 0 1 ( 1 + x 2 ) ln ( 1 + x ) 1 x 2 + x 4   d x = π ln ( 2 + 3 ) 3 .
Finally, we obtain
I = 3 π ln 2 8 1 2 ( J 1 + J 2 ) = 3 π ln 2 8 π 6 ln ( 2 + 3 ) .
