With the k-th appended term being 2*3*...*(2+k-2)*2^k*(2^k-1)*Bern(k) / (2*k!*(J^(k+2-1))). Bern(k) is a Bernoulli number and J is a large number of the form 4n + 1. See equation 3:3:7 in Spanier and Oldham. - Harry J. Smith, May 07 2009

FORMULA

c = integrate(x=0..1, arctan(x)/x ).
c = integrate(x=0..1, 3*arctan(x*(1-x)/(2-x))/x ). - Posting to Number Theory List by James McLaughlin, Sep 27 2007
c = (zeta(2,1/4)- zeta(2,3/4))/16. - Gerry Martens, May 27 2011 [With the Hurwitz Zeta function zeta.]
c = 1/2*sum(n>=0, (-1)^n * ((3*n+2)*8^n) / ((2*n+1)^3*C(2*n,n)^3) ) (from the Lima 2012 reference).
c = -1/64*sum(n>=1, (-1)^n * (2^(8*n) * (40*n^2-24*n+3)) / (n^3 * (2*n-1) * C(2*n,n) * C(4*n,2*n)^2) ) (from the Lupas 2000 reference).
c = phi(-1, 2, 1/2)/4, where phi is Lerch transcendent. - Jean-François Alcover, Mar 28 2013
c = 1/2*integrate(x=0..Pi/2, log(cot(x)+csc(x)) ). - Jean-François Alcover, Apr 11 2013 [see the Adamchik link]
c = - integrate(x=0..1,(log x)/(1+x^2)) = integrate(x=1..oo,(log x)/(1+x^2)). - Clark Kimberling, Nov 04 2016
c = (Zeta(2, 1/4) - Pi^2)/8 = (Psi(1, 1/4) - Pi^2)/8, with the Hurwitz Zeta function and the trigamma function Psi(1, z). For the partial sums of the series given in the name see A294970/A294971. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 15 2017
