Formula

chi4(k) = Kronecker(-4, k); chi4(k) is 0, 1, 0, -1 when k reduced modulo 4 is 0, 1, 2, 3, respectively; chi4 is A101455.

Series: L(3, chi4) = Sum_{k>=1} chi4(k) k^{-3} = 1 - 1/3^3 + 1/5^3 - 1/7^3 + 1/9^3 - 1/11^3 + 1/13^3 - 1/15^3 + ...

Series: L(3, chi4) = Sum_{k>=0} tanh((2k+1) Pi/2)/(2k+1)^3. [Ramanujan; see Berndt, page 293]

Closed form: L(3, chi4) = Pi^3/32 = 1/A331095.

Equals Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/(2*n+1)^3. - Jean-François Alcover, Mar 29 2013

Equals Product_{k>=3} (1 - tan(Pi/2^k)^4) (Groenman, 1990). - Amiram Eldar, Apr 03 2022

Equals Integral_{x=0..1} arcsinh(x)*arccos(x)/x dx (Kobayashi, 2021). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 23 2023

From Amiram Eldar, Nov 06 2023: (Start)

Equals beta(3), where beta is the Dirichlet beta function.

Equals Product_{p prime >= 3} (1 - (-1)^((p-1)/2)/p^3)^(-1). (End)

Example

L(3, chi4) = Pi^3/32 = 0.9689461462593693804836348458469186...
