Comments

As w(n) = log(cos(1/n)) ~ -1/(2*n^2) when n -> oo, hence the series w(n) is convergent (zeta(2)/2 ~ 0.822467033...).

Formula

Equals Sum_{n>=1} log(cos(1/n)) (negated).

Equals log(A118817).

From Amiram Eldar, Jul 30 2023: (Start)

Equals Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^k*2^(2*k-1)*(2^(2*k)-1)*B(2*k)*zeta(2*k)/(k*(2*k)!), where B(k) is the k-th Bernoulli number.

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