FORMULA
chi3(k) = Kronecker(-3, k); chi3(k) is 0, 1, -1 when k reduced modulo 3 is 0, 1, 2, respectively; chi3 is A102283.
Series: L(2, chi3) = Sum_{k=1..infinity} chi3(k) k^{-2} = 1 - 1/2^2 + 1/4^2 - 1/5^2 + 1/7^2 - 1/8^2 + 1/10^2 - 1/11^2 + ...
EXAMPLE
L(2, chi3) = 0.781302412896486296867187429624092... = [0; 1, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1, 17, 1, 10, 1, 1, 5, 1, 1, 2, 1, ...], the convergents of which are 0/1, 1/0, [0/1], 1/1, 3/4, 4/5, 7/9, 18/23, 25/32, 443/567, 468/599, 5123/6557, 5591/7156, ..., with brackets marking index 0. Those prior to index 0 are for initializing the recurrence.
