FORMULA

chi3(k) = Kronecker(-3, k); chi3(k) is 0, 1, -1 when k reduced modulo 3 is 0, 1, 2, respectively; chi3 is A049347 shifted.

Series: L(3, chi3) = Sum_{k=1..infinity} chi3(k) k^{-3} = 1 - 1/2^3 + 1/4^3 - 1/5^3 + 1/7^3 - 1/8^3 + 1/10^3 - 1/11^3 + ...

Closed form: L(3, chi3) = 4 Pi^3/(81 sqrt(3)).

EXAMPLE

L(3, chi3) = 0.8840238117500798567430579168710118077... = 1/2 + 1/(2*2) + 1/(2*2*2) + 1/(2*2*2*14) + 1/(2*2*2*14*94) + ..., the partial sums of which are 0, 1/2, 3/4, 7/8, 99/112, 9307/10528, ...

MATHEMATICA
