%N Decimal expansion of Sum_{k>=2} 1/(k*(log k)^4).

%C Quartic analog of A115563. Evaluated by direct summation of the first 160 terms and accumulating the remainder with the 5 nontrivial terms in the Euler-Maclaurin expansion.

%C Bertrand series Sum_{n>=2} 1/(n*log(n)^q) is convergent iff q > 1. - _Bernard Schott_, Jan 22 2022
