FORMULA
Equals 3F2( -1/2,-1/2,1 ; 1/2,1/2 ; -1) = (1/4) * Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k/(k-1/2)^2.
Equals 1-A006752.
Equals Sum_{k>=1} k*zeta(2*k+1)/16^k (Glaisher, 1913). - Amiram Eldar, Aug 14 2023
Equals Sum_{k>=1} 16*k/(16*k^2 - 1)^2 = Integral_{x=1..oo} log(x)/(x^4 + x^2) dx (see Shamos). - Stefano Spezia, Nov 14 2024
