Comments

Differentiation of Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^k/k^s = -(2^s-2)*zeta(s)/2^s with respect to s gives -Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^k*log(k)/k^s = -2^(1-s)*log(2)*zeta(s) - (1-2^(1-s))*zeta'(s), where zeta(.) and zeta'(.) are the Riemann zeta function and its derivative. - R.

Formula

Equals ((3-sqrt(2))*log(2)/2 - (sqrt(2)-1)*(2*gamma + Pi + 2*log(Pi))/4) * zeta(1/2), where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant A001620.

A265162/A113024 = gamma/2 + Pi/4 - (1/2 + sqrt(2))*log(2) + log(Pi)/2.
