After numerical analysis it seems that
$$
fracpi^332=1-sum_k=1^inftyfrac2k(2k+1)zeta(2k+2)4^2k+2
$$
Could someone prove the validity of such identity?

There are lots and lots of identities of this type. Have you read answers to your previous question? This one can be solved in exactly the same manner. What have you tried anyway?

You must be right, there are lots of this kind of identities. And I was wondering if there is a more general formula. For exemple we have the following $$ fracpi2=1+2sum_k=1^inftyfraceta(2k)2^2k $$ and $$ fracpi3=1+2sum_k=1^inftyfraceta(2k)6^2k $$ and in this line of thought how coud we express $pi/5$ or $pi/7$?

@Grigori, can you provide a formula for $pi/7$ involving $zeta$ or $eta$ whatever you like?

I'm not sure I understand â certainly you won't be satisfied $frac27(1+2sumeta(2k)2^-2k)$ â but what's the question exactly then? Anyway, first question is, what is $sumzeta(2k)x^2k$ and $sumeta(2k)x^2k$ â do you happen to know answers?

Yes, we can prove it. We can change the order of summation in
$$beginalign
sum_k=1^infty frac2k(2k+1)zeta(2k+2)4^2k+2
&= sum_k=1^infty frac2k(2k+1)4^2k+2sum_n=1^infty frac1n^2k+2\
&= sum_n=1^infty sum_k=1^infty frac2k(2k+1)(4n)^2k+2\
&= sum_n=1^infty r''(4n),
endalign$$
where, for $lvert zrvert > 1$, we define
$$r(z) = sum_k=1^infty frac1z^2k = frac1z^2-1 = frac12left(frac1z-1 - frac1z+1right).$$
Differentiating yields $r''(z) = frac1(z-1)^3 - frac1(z+1)^3$, so
$$1 - sum_k=1^infty frac2k(2k+1)zeta(2k+2)4^2k+2 = sum_nu = 0^infty frac(-1)^nu(2nu+1)^3,$$
and the latter sum is by an earlier answer using the partial fraction decomposition of $dfrac1cos z$:
$$sum_nu=0^infty frac(-1)^nu(2nu+1)^3 = - fracpi^332 E_2 = fracpi^332.$$

I took too long to move my recursion for $beta(2k+1)$ from my pdf, and I didn't take time to realize that the first part of my answer is almost the same as your answer. I hope you don't mind if I leave my answer; I would like to have the recursion for $beta(2k+1)$ on site.

Using the formula for a geometric series,
$$
beginalign
sum_k=1^inftyfrac1x^2k
&=frac1x^2-1\
&=frac12left(frac1x-1-frac1x+1right)tag1
endalign
$$
Differentiating $(1)$ twice,
$$
sum_k=1^inftyfrac2k(2k+1)x^2k+2
=frac1(x-1)^3-frac1(x+1)^3tag2
$$
Changing the order of summation and applying $(2)$,
$$
beginalign
1-sum_k=1^inftyfrac2k(2k+1)zeta(2k+2)4^2k+2
&=1-sum_k=1^inftysum_j=1^inftyfrac2k(2k+1)(4j)^2k+2\
&=1-sum_j=1^inftysum_k=1^inftyfrac2k(2k+1)(4j)^2k+2\
&=1-sum_j=1^inftyleft(frac1(4j-1)^3-frac1(4j+1)^3right)\
&=1-sum_n=1^inftyfrac(-1)^n-1(2n+1)^3\
&=sum_n=0^inftyfrac(-1)^n(2n+1)^3tag3
endalign
$$
The sum in $(3)$ can be generalized as
$$
beta(s)=sum_n=0^inftyfrac(-1)^n(2n+1)^stag4
$$
and is known as the Dirichlet beta function. As shown below, $beta(3)=dfracpi^332$.
We can develop a recurrence for $beta(2k+1)$. First, the generating function for $beta(2k+1)$ is
$$
beginalign
f(x) &= sum_k=0^infty beta(2k+1) x^2k+1\
&= sum_n=0^infty sum_k=0^infty (-1)^nleft(fracx2n+1right)^2k+1\
&= sum_n=0^infty (-1)^nfracfracx2n+11-left(fracx2n+1right)^2\
&= fracx2 sum_n=0^infty (-1)^n left(frac12n+1+x+frac12n+1-xright)\
&= fracx2 sum_n=-infty^+infty(-1)^n frac12n+1+x\
&= fracx4 sum_n=-infty^+infty(-1)^n frac1n+tfrac1+x2\
&= fracx4 pi cscleft(pitfrac1+x2right)\[3pt]
&= fracpi4 x secleft(fracpi2xright)tag5
endalign
$$
where we use $(7)$ from this answer to get
$$
beginalign
sum_n=-infty^+inftyfrac(-1)^nn+z
&=sum_n=-infty^+inftyfrac22n+z-sum_n=-infty^+inftyfrac1n+z\[3pt]
&=picot(pi z/2)-picot(pi z)\[9pt]
&=picsc(pi z)tag6
endalign
$$
We can use equation $(5)$ to develop a recurrence relation:
$$
beginalign
fracpi4 x
&= cosleft(fracpi2 xright) f(x)\
&= sum_n=0^inftysum_k=0^n (-1)^k frac(fracpi2 x)^2k(2k)!;beta(2n-2k+1)x^2n-2k+1\
&= sum_n=0^inftysum_k=0^n frac(-pi^2/4)^k(2k)!;beta(2n-2k+1)x^2n+1tag7
endalign
$$
For $n=0$, we can use the arctan series to get
$$
beta(1) = fracpi4tag8
$$
and for $ngt0$, $(7)$ gives
$$
beta(2n+1) = -sum_k=1^n frac(-pi^2/4)^k(2k)!;beta(2n-2k+1)tag9
$$
Recursion $(9)$ yields
$$
beginalign
beta(1)&=fracpi4\
beta(3)&=fracpi^332\
beta(5)&=frac5pi^51536\
beta(7)&=frac61pi^7184320\
beta(9)&=frac277pi^98257536\
beta(11)&=frac50521pi^1114863564800\
beta(13)&=frac540553pi^131569592442880\
beta(15)&=frac199360981pi^155713316492083200\
beta(17)&=frac3878302429pi^171096956766479974400\
beta(19)&=frac2404879675441pi^196713375410857443328000
endalign
$$

by (7), I get $$fracpi4x=beta(1)x+sum_n=1^inftyleft[x^2n+1sum_k=0^n(-1)^kfrac(pi x/2)^2k(2k)!beta(2n-2k+1)right]=fracpi4x+sum_n=1^inftyleft[x^2n+1left[beta(2n+1)+sum_k=1^nfrac(-fracpi^24)^k(2k)!beta(2n-2k+1)right]right]$$ so $$sum_n=1^inftyleft[x^2n+1left[beta(2n+1)+sum_k=1^nfrac(-fracpi^24)^k(2k)!beta(2n-2k+1)right]right]=0.$$ then how to get (9) please? maybe it is: if $sum_n=1^inftyx^2n+1g(n)=0$, then we have $g(n)=0$. I can not prove it, could you explain it to me in detail please?
â xunitc

@xunitc: The sum on the left is a polynomial which is equal to $0$. That means that each coefficient of $x^2n+1$ must be $0$. $(9)$ follows by using this fact.
â robjohnâ¦
Jun 28 '17 at 8:51
Thank you, I know it now, it converges to $0$, and can make differentiation of x, then the coefficient is $0$.

Starting from the Laurent series of the cotangent function:
$$pi zcot left( pi z right) =1-2,sum _k=0^infty zeta
left( 2,k+2 right) z^2k+2 tag1$$
apply the differential operator:
$$hatD=z^2dfracd^2dz^2-2zdfracddz+2 tag2$$
to get:
$$z^3pi ^3cot left( pi z right) left( 1+ cot
left( pi z right) ^2 right) =1-sum _k=0^infty 2k left( 2k+1 right)
,zeta left( 2,k+2 right) z^2k+2tag3$$
which, by the ratio test, has a radius of convergence of $|z|<1$. Then from:
$$z=dfrac14, quad cotleft(dfracpi4right)=1 tag4$$
we have:
$$dfracpi ^332=1-sum _k=0^infty frac 2k left( 2,k+1
right) zeta left( 2,k+2 right) 4^2k+2tag5$$

First, Mathematica confirms this. For the proof, I would assume that expanding out the zeta and then changing the order of summation will do the trick (you will get sums of the sort
$sum_k=1^infty 2k(2k+1)frac1(4 i)^2k+2,$ which are easy to evaluate (by integrating the sum of the geometric series a couple of times):
$$frac2 left(48 i^2+1right)left(16 i^2-1right)^3$$

Yes, we can prove it. We can change the order of summation in
$$beginalign
sum_k=1^infty frac2k(2k+1)zeta(2k+2)4^2k+2
&= sum_k=1^infty frac2k(2k+1)4^2k+2sum_n=1^infty frac1n^2k+2\
&= sum_n=1^infty sum_k=1^infty frac2k(2k+1)(4n)^2k+2\
&= sum_n=1^infty r''(4n),
endalign$$
where, for $lvert zrvert > 1$, we define
$$r(z) = sum_k=1^infty frac1z^2k = frac1z^2-1 = frac12left(frac1z-1 - frac1z+1right).$$
Differentiating yields $r''(z) = frac1(z-1)^3 - frac1(z+1)^3$, so
$$1 - sum_k=1^infty frac2k(2k+1)zeta(2k+2)4^2k+2 = sum_nu = 0^infty frac(-1)^nu(2nu+1)^3,$$
and the latter sum is by an earlier answer using the partial fraction decomposition of $dfrac1cos z$:
$$sum_nu=0^infty frac(-1)^nu(2nu+1)^3 = - fracpi^332 E_2 = fracpi^332.$$

I took too long to move my recursion for $beta(2k+1)$ from my pdf, and I didn't take time to realize that the first part of my answer is almost the same as your answer. I hope you don't mind if I leave my answer; I would like to have the recursion for $beta(2k+1)$ on site.

Using the formula for a geometric series,
$$
beginalign
sum_k=1^inftyfrac1x^2k
&=frac1x^2-1\
&=frac12left(frac1x-1-frac1x+1right)tag1
endalign
$$
Differentiating $(1)$ twice,
$$
sum_k=1^inftyfrac2k(2k+1)x^2k+2
=frac1(x-1)^3-frac1(x+1)^3tag2
$$
Changing the order of summation and applying $(2)$,
$$
beginalign
1-sum_k=1^inftyfrac2k(2k+1)zeta(2k+2)4^2k+2
&=1-sum_k=1^inftysum_j=1^inftyfrac2k(2k+1)(4j)^2k+2\
&=1-sum_j=1^inftysum_k=1^inftyfrac2k(2k+1)(4j)^2k+2\
&=1-sum_j=1^inftyleft(frac1(4j-1)^3-frac1(4j+1)^3right)\
&=1-sum_n=1^inftyfrac(-1)^n-1(2n+1)^3\
&=sum_n=0^inftyfrac(-1)^n(2n+1)^3tag3
endalign
$$
The sum in $(3)$ can be generalized as
$$
beta(s)=sum_n=0^inftyfrac(-1)^n(2n+1)^stag4
$$
and is known as the Dirichlet beta function. As shown below, $beta(3)=dfracpi^332$.
We can develop a recurrence for $beta(2k+1)$. First, the generating function for $beta(2k+1)$ is
$$
beginalign
f(x) &= sum_k=0^infty beta(2k+1) x^2k+1\
&= sum_n=0^infty sum_k=0^infty (-1)^nleft(fracx2n+1right)^2k+1\
&= sum_n=0^infty (-1)^nfracfracx2n+11-left(fracx2n+1right)^2\
&= fracx2 sum_n=0^infty (-1)^n left(frac12n+1+x+frac12n+1-xright)\
&= fracx2 sum_n=-infty^+infty(-1)^n frac12n+1+x\
&= fracx4 sum_n=-infty^+infty(-1)^n frac1n+tfrac1+x2\
&= fracx4 pi cscleft(pitfrac1+x2right)\[3pt]
&= fracpi4 x secleft(fracpi2xright)tag5
endalign
$$
where we use $(7)$ from this answer to get
$$
beginalign
sum_n=-infty^+inftyfrac(-1)^nn+z
&=sum_n=-infty^+inftyfrac22n+z-sum_n=-infty^+inftyfrac1n+z\[3pt]
&=picot(pi z/2)-picot(pi z)\[9pt]
&=picsc(pi z)tag6
endalign
$$
We can use equation $(5)$ to develop a recurrence relation:
$$
beginalign
fracpi4 x
&= cosleft(fracpi2 xright) f(x)\
&= sum_n=0^inftysum_k=0^n (-1)^k frac(fracpi2 x)^2k(2k)!;beta(2n-2k+1)x^2n-2k+1\
&= sum_n=0^inftysum_k=0^n frac(-pi^2/4)^k(2k)!;beta(2n-2k+1)x^2n+1tag7
endalign
$$
For $n=0$, we can use the arctan series to get
$$
beta(1) = fracpi4tag8
$$
and for $ngt0$, $(7)$ gives
$$
beta(2n+1) = -sum_k=1^n frac(-pi^2/4)^k(2k)!;beta(2n-2k+1)tag9
$$
Recursion $(9)$ yields
$$
beginalign
beta(1)&=fracpi4\
beta(3)&=fracpi^332\
beta(5)&=frac5pi^51536\
beta(7)&=frac61pi^7184320\
beta(9)&=frac277pi^98257536\
beta(11)&=frac50521pi^1114863564800\
beta(13)&=frac540553pi^131569592442880\
beta(15)&=frac199360981pi^155713316492083200\
beta(17)&=frac3878302429pi^171096956766479974400\
beta(19)&=frac2404879675441pi^196713375410857443328000

by (7), I get $$fracpi4x=beta(1)x+sum_n=1^inftyleft[x^2n+1sum_k=0^n(-1)^kfrac(pi x/2)^2k(2k)!beta(2n-2k+1)right]=fracpi4x+sum_n=1^inftyleft[x^2n+1left[beta(2n+1)+sum_k=1^nfrac(-fracpi^24)^k(2k)!beta(2n-2k+1)right]right]$$ so $$sum_n=1^inftyleft[x^2n+1left[beta(2n+1)+sum_k=1^nfrac(-fracpi^24)^k(2k)!beta(2n-2k+1)right]right]=0.$$ then how to get (9) please? maybe it is: if $sum_n=1^inftyx^2n+1g(n)=0$, then we have $g(n)=0$. I can not prove it, could you explain it to me in detail please?

@xunitc: The sum on the left is a polynomial which is equal to $0$. That means that each coefficient of $x^2n+1$ must be $0$. $(9)$ follows by using this fact.

Thank you, I know it now, it converges to $0$, and can make differentiation of x, then the coefficient is $0$.

Starting from the Laurent series of the cotangent function:
$$pi zcot left( pi z right) =1-2,sum _k=0^infty zeta
left( 2,k+2 right) z^2k+2 tag1$$
apply the differential operator:
$$hatD=z^2dfracd^2dz^2-2zdfracddz+2 tag2$$
to get:
$$z^3pi ^3cot left( pi z right) left( 1+ cot
left( pi z right) ^2 right) =1-sum _k=0^infty 2k left( 2k+1 right)
,zeta left( 2,k+2 right) z^2k+2tag3$$
which, by the ratio test, has a radius of convergence of $|z|<1$. Then from:
$$z=dfrac14, quad cotleft(dfracpi4right)=1 tag4$$
we have:
$$dfracpi ^332=1-sum _k=0^infty frac 2k left( 2,k+1
right) zeta left( 2,k+2 right) 4^2k+2tag5$$

First, Mathematica confirms this. For the proof, I would assume that expanding out the zeta and then changing the order of summation will do the trick (you will get sums of the sort
$sum_k=1^infty 2k(2k+1)frac1(4 i)^2k+2,$ which are easy to evaluate (by integrating the sum of the geometric series a couple of times):
$$frac2 left(48 i^2+1right)left(16 i^2-1right)^3$$

There are lots and lots of identities of this type. Have you read answers to your previous question? This one can be solved in exactly the same manner. What have you tried anyway?
â Grigory M
Dec 19 '13 at 18:05
You must be right, there are lots of this kind of identities. And I was wondering if there is a more general formula. For exemple we have the following $$ fracpi2=1+2sum_k=1^inftyfraceta(2k)2^2k $$ and $$ fracpi3=1+2sum_k=1^inftyfraceta(2k)6^2k $$ and in this line of thought how coud we express $pi/5$ or $pi/7$?
â Neves
Dec 19 '13 at 18:10
@Grigory, I can prove some of this formulas but not all of them so when I can't I ask here.
â Neves
Dec 19 '13 at 18:17
@Grigori, can you provide a formula for $pi/7$ involving $zeta$ or $eta$ whatever you like?
â Neves
Dec 19 '13 at 18:21
I'm not sure I understand â certainly you won't be satisfied $frac27(1+2sumeta(2k)2^-2k)$ â but what's the question exactly then? Anyway, first question is, what is $sumzeta(2k)x^2k$ and $sumeta(2k)x^2k$ â do you happen to know answers?
