Comments

Watson's first triple integral.

This is also the value of F. Morley's series from 1902 Sum_{k=0..n} (risefac(k,1/2)/k!)^3 = hypergeometric([1/2,1/2,1/2],[1,1],1) with the rising factorial risefac(n,x). See A277232, also for the Hardy reference and a MathWorld link. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 11 2016

Formula

From Joerg Arndt, Nov 27 2010: (Start)

Equals 1/agm(1,sqrt(1/2))^2.

Equals Gamma(1/4)^4 / (4*Pi^3) = Pi / (Gamma(3/4))^4 = hypergeom([1/2,1/2],[1],1/2)^2, see the two Abramowitz - Stegun references. (End)

Equals the square of A175574. Equals A000796/A068465^4. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 17 2016

Equals hypergeom([1/2,1/2,1/2],[1,1],1) - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 12 2016

Equals Sum_{k>=0) binomial(2*k,k)^3/2^(6*k). - Amiram Eldar, Aug 26 2020
