%N Decimal expansion of (negative of) Kinkelin constant.

%C Named after the Swiss mathematician Hermann Kinkelin (1832-1913). - _Amiram Eldar_, Jun 16 2021

%F Zeta(1, -1). Almkvist gives many formulas.

%F Equals (1 - gamma - log(2*Pi))/12 + Zeta'(2)/(2*Pi^2), where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Jul 25 2015

%F From _Amiram Eldar_, Jun 16 2021: (Start)

%F Equals 1/24 - gamma/3 - Sum_{k>=1} (zeta(2*k+1)-1)/((2*k+1)*(2*k+3)) = 1/12 - log(A), where A is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant (A074962) (Kinkelin, 1860).

%F Equals 2 * Integral_{x>=0} x*log(x)/(exp(2*Pi*x)-1) dx = 2*A261819. (Wright, 1931). (End)
