Formula

Equals Integral_(0..1) (1 + x^2)/(1 + 3*x^2 + x^4) dx.

From Peter Bala, Feb 16 2015: (Start)

Also equals beta(1/2, 1/2)/(2*sqrt(5)), where 'beta' is Euler's beta function.

Pi/(2*sqrt(5)) = Integral_{t = 0..a} (1 + t^2)*(1 + t^6)/(1 + t^10) dt = a + a^3/3 + a^7/7 + a^9/9 - a^11/11 - a^13/13 - a^17/17 - a^19/19 + ..., where a = 1/2(sqrt(5) - 1). Hint: differentiate atan( sqrt(5)*(t - t^3)/(1 - 3*t^2 + t^4) ). (End)

Equals (1/2)*Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n*( 1/(10*n + 1) + 1/(10*n + 3) + 1/(10*n + 7) + 1/(10*n + 9) ). Cf. A019692. - Peter Bala, Oct 30 2019

From Amiram Eldar, Aug 06 2020: (Start)

Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} 1/(x^2 + 5) dx.

Equals 0.1 * Integral_{x=0..oo} log(1 + 5/x^2) dx. (End)

Equals Integral_{x = 0..1} 2/(4*x^2 + 5*(1 - x)^2) dx. - Peter Bala, Jul 22 2022
