%F Equals Gamma(1/4)*Gamma(3/4). - _Jean-François Alcover_, Nov 24 2014
%F From _Amiram Eldar_, Aug 06 2020: (Start)
%F Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} log(1 + 1/x^4) dx.
%F Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} log(1 + 2/x^2) dx.
%F Equals Integral_{x=-oo..oo} exp(x/4)/(exp(x) + 1) dx.
%F Equals Integral_{x=0..2*Pi} 1/(cos(x)^2 + 1) dx = Integral_{x=0..2*Pi} 1/(sin(x)^2 + 1) dx. (End)
%F From _Andrea Pinos_, Jul 03 2023: (Start)
%F Equals (Product_{k=1..4} Gamma(k/8)*Gamma(1 - k/8))^(1/4).
%F General result: 2*Pi/(4*y)^(1/(2*y)) = (Product_{k=1..y} Gamma(k/(2*y))*Gamma(1 - k/(2*y)) )^(1/y). (End)

%F sqrt(2)*Pi = 4 + 8*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/(16*n^2 + 32*n + 15). See A141759.
%F In the following the Eisenstein summation convention is assumed: that is,
%F Sum_{n = -oo..oo} means Limit_{N -> oo} Sum_{n = -N..N}:
%F sqrt(2)*Pi = 4*Sum_{n = -oo..oo} (-1)^n/(4*n + 1).
%F More generally, it appears that for k >= 0, k not of the form 4*m + 1,
%F sqrt(2)*Pi = -sign(cos(Pi*(k - 3)/4)) * 4*(2^floor(k/2))*k! * Sum_{n = -oo..oo} (-1)^n/((4*n + 1)*(4*n + 3)*...*(4*n + 2*k + 1)) (verified up to k = 50).
%F sqrt(2)*Pi = (2^4)*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n * (2*n + 1)/((4*n + 1)*(4*n + 3)) = 512/105 - (2^6)*4!*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n * (2*n + 3)/((4*n + 1)*(4*n + 3)*...*(4*n + 11)).
%F sqrt(2)*Pi = 4 + (2^3)*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n * (4*n + 1)/((4*n + 1)*(4*n + 3)*(4*n + 5)) = 1408/315 - (2^5)*5!*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n * (4*n + 1)/((4*n + 1)*(4*n + 3)*...*(4*n + 13)).
%F sqrt(2)*Pi = 16/3 - (2^4)*3!*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/((4*n + 1)*(4*n + 3)*(4*n + 5)*(4*n + 7)) = 14848/3465 + (2^6)*7!*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/((4*n + 1)*(4*n + 3)*...*(4*n + 15)). (End)
%F From _Peter Bala_, Nov 19 2023: (Start)
%F sqrt(2)*Pi = 512*Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1) * k^2/((16*k^2 - 1)*(16*k^2 - 9)).
%F This is the case n = 1 of the more general result: for n >= 1,
%F sqrt(2)*Pi = (-1)^(n+1) * 2^(n+7) * (2*n)!/(2*n - 1) * Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1) * k^2/( Product_{i = 0..n} (16*k^2 - (2*i+1)^2) ). Cf. A334422. (End)
