Formula

From Shamos (2011):

Equals -Li_2(1/3) - log(3/2)^2/2.

Equals Li_2(2/3) + log(3)^2/2 - log(2)^2/2 - Pi^2/6.

Equals Li_2(1/4)/2 + log(2)^2/2 - Pi^2/12.

Equals -Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)/(2^k*k^2) = -Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)/A007758(k).

Equals -Sum_{k>=1} H(k)/(k*3^k), where H(k) = A001008(k)/A002805(k) is the k-th harmonic number.

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

Equals -Integral_{x>=1} log(x)^2/(2*x+1)^2 dx.

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

Equals -Integral_{x>=0} log(1 + exp(-x)/2) dx.
