Formula

2^(3/4)*(2/e^(16*Pi) + 1)* Pi^(3/4)/(2^(13/16)/(sqrt(2) - 1)^(1/4) + 2^(1/4) + 1) is a very good approximation (~88 digits) which becomes exact if you replace (2/e^(16*Pi) + 1) by EllipticTheta[3,0,exp(-(16*Pi))]. [R. W. Gosper, Posting to Math Fun Mailing List, Dec 27 2011.]

Equals A068466 /4 . - R. J. Mathar, Jan 10 2013
