FORMULA
Equals Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1) * cos(sqrt(k^2*Pi^2 - 9))/k^2 (Gosper et al., 1993). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 09 2021
More generally, it appears that Pi^2/(12*exp(x)) = Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1)*cos(sqrt(k^2*Pi^2*x/3 - x^2))/k^2 for 0 <= x <= 3. The above identity is the case x = 3. - Peter Bala, Jun 20 2022
