FORMULA
a(n) = -(polygamma(2n, 1/4)/2^(2n-1) + abs(Euler(2n))*Pi^(2n+1))/zeta(2n+1) for n > 0.
a(n) = (2n)!*(2^(2n + 2) - 2).
a(n+1) = (2n)!*Stirling2(2n, 2)/binomial(2n, 2).
EXAMPLE
polygamma(2, 1/4) = -2^1*(28*zeta(3) + Pi^3),
polygamma(4, 1/4) = -2^3*(1488*zeta(5) + 5*Pi^5),
polygamma(6, 1/4) = -2^5*(182880*zeta(7) + 61*Pi^7),
polygamma(8, 1/4) = -2^7*(41207040*zeta(9) + 1385*Pi^9),
etc.
