Formula

Equals gamma(0, 1/6) - gamma(0, 5/6) where gamma(n,x) denotes the generalized Stieltjes constants.

Equals PolyGamma[0, 5/6] - PolyGamma[0, 1/6].

Equals 3*sqrt(2*zeta(2)).

Pi^2 = A304656 * A093602.

From Amiram Eldar, Aug 06 2020: (Start)

Equals Sum_{k>=0} 1/((k + 1/3)*(k + 2/3)).

Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} log(1 + 3/x^2) dx. (End)

Equals (27*S - 36)/8, where S = A248682. - Peter Luschny, Jul 22 2022

sqrt(3)*Pi = 9/2 + 9*Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)/(9*n^2 - 1);

sqrt(3)*Pi = 5 + 10*Sum_{n >= 1} 1/((4*n^2 - 1)*(9*n^2 - 1)) = 43/8 + 8*Sum_{n >= 2} (-1)^n/((n^2 - 1)*(9*n^2 - 1));

sqrt(3)*Pi = 1765/324 - (80/9)*Sum_{n >= 2} 1/((n^2 - 1)*(4*n^2 - 1)*(9*n^2 - 1)).

The following two series representations for the constant

sqrt(3)*Pi = 72 * Sum_{n >= 0} (2*n + 1)/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*(6*n + 5)) and

sqrt(3)*Pi = 8192/1485 - 860160 * Sum_{n >= 0} (2*n + 3)/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*...*(6*n + 17)) appear to generalize as follows:

for k >= 0, sqrt(3)*Pi = c(k) + (-1)^k*d(k)*Sum_{n >= 0} (2*n + 2*k + 1)/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*...*(6*n + 12*k + 5)), where c(k) is a rational number approximating sqrt(3)*Pi and d(k) = (6*k + 1)! * 2^(6*k+3) / 3^(3*k-2).

The first few values of c(k) for k >= 0 are [0, 8192/1485, 11341398016/2085060285, 62809601736704/11542783997745, 889063287831973723111424/ 163388820474305231710905, ...].

The following two series representations for the constant

sqrt(3)*Pi = 256/45 - 2560*Sum_{n >= 0} 1/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*...*(6*n + 11)) and

sqrt(3)*Pi = 337117184/62026965 + 2018508800*Sum_{n >= 0} 1/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*...*(6*n + 23)) appear to generalize as follows:

for k >= 0, sqrt(3)*Pi = c(k) - (-1)^k*d(k)*Sum_{n >= 0} 1/((6*n + 1)*(6*n + 3)*...*(6*n + 12*k + 11)), where c(k) is a rational number approximating sqrt(3)*Pi and d(k) = (6*k + 5)! * 2^(6*k+6) / 3^(3*k+1).

The first few values of c(k) for k >= 0 are [256/45, 337117184/62026965, 1732370763874304/318357429615225, 733187044080753836032/134742553582636674675, 6361250411469779336874164224/1169047010493653932891525275, ...]. (End)

For arbitrary integer k, Pi*sqrt(3) = Sum_{n >= 0} (1/(n - k + 1/6) - 1/(n + k + 5/6)) = Sum_{n >= 0} (1/(n + k + 7/6) - 1/(n - k - 1/6)). - Peter Bala, Jul 10 2024
