FORMULA
Given the harmonic sum G(x) = Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^k*log(k)*exp(-k^2*x), lim_{x->0} G(x) = log(sqrt(Pi/2)).
Integral_{x=0..oo} G(x) dx = (Pi^2/12)*log(2) + zeta'(2)/2 = (Pi^2/12)*(EulerGamma + log(4*Pi) - 12*log(Glaisher)) = 0.1013165781635...
G'(0) = 7*zeta'(-2) = -7*zeta(3)/(4*Pi^2) = -0.2131391994...
Equals Integral_{-oo..+oo} -log(1/2 + i*z)/(exp(-Pi*z) + exp(Pi*z)) dz, where i is the imaginary unit. - Peter Luschny, Apr 08 2018
Equals Sum_{n>=0} Sum_{m>=1} (-1)^(m+n) * log(m+n)/(m+n) (Efthimiou, 2010). - Amiram Eldar, Apr 09 2022
Equals A094642/2. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 15 2023
