FORMULA
chi3(k) = Kronecker(-3, k); chi3(k) is 0, 1, -1 when k reduced modulo 3 is 0, 1, 2, respectively; chi3 is A049347 shifted.
Series: L(3, chi3) = Sum_{k>=1} chi3(k) k^{-3} = 1 - 1/2^3 + 1/4^3 - 1/5^3 + 1/7^3 - 1/8^3 + 1/10^3 - 1/11^3 + ...
Closed form: L(3, chi3) = 4 Pi^3/(81 sqrt(3)).
EXAMPLE
L(3, chi3) = 0.8840238117500798567430579168710118077... = [0; 1, 7, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 1, 9, 4, 13, 4, ...].
