Formula

Equals log(2) - 1/2 = A002162 - 1/2.

Equals Sum_{k>=1} 1/((2k-1)*(2k)*(2k+1)). - Bruno Berselli, Mar 16 2014

From Amiram Eldar, Jul 28 2020: (Start)

Equals Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k/(k+3).

Equals Sum_{k>=2} 1/(k * 2^k).

Equals Sum_{k>=2} 1/(4*k^2 - 2*k).

Equals Sum_{k>=2} (zeta(k) - 1)/2^k.

Equals Sum_{k>=1} zeta(2*k + 1)/2^(2*k + 1). (End)

From Bernard Schott, Nov 22 2021: (Start)

Equals Sum_{k>=1} (S(k) - log(2)) when S(k) = Sum_{m=1..k} (-1)^(m+1) / m.

Equals Integral_{x=0..1} x/(1+x)^2 dx. (End)

Equals Sum_{k,m>=1} (-1)^(k+m)/(k+m). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 09 2022

Equals Integral_{x = 0..1} Integral_{y = 0..1} x*y/(x + y)^2 dy dx. - Peter Bala, Dec 12 2022
