Formula

Delta_4(-1) = Integral over a unit 4-cube of 1/sqrt((r1-q1)^2+(r2-q2)^2+(r3-q3)^2+(r4-q4)^2) dr dq.

Delta_4(-1) = -152/315 - 8*Pi/15 - 16/5*log(2) + 2/5*log(3) + 68/105*sqrt(2) - 16/35*sqrt(3) + 4/5*log(1 + sqrt(2)) + 32/5*log(1 + sqrt(3)) - 8/3*Catalan + 8*Ti2(3 - 2*sqrt(2)) - 8/5*sqrt(2)*arctan(sqrt(2)/4), where Ti2 is Lewin's arctan integral.
