A sine series
Prove that:
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^3 \sin{\sqrt{2} \pi n}} = -\frac{13 \pi^3}{360 \sqrt{2}}$$
$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^3 \sin{\sqrt{2} \pi n}} = -\frac{13 \pi^3}{360 \sqrt{2}}$$
Imagination is much more important than knowledge.
Re: A sine series
Yes, I see now. This is one of those tricky SOB's.
I used the wrong f(z) a while ago anyway.
I ran it through Maple for a check and it returns the correct result that you posted.
The residue at 0 is $$\frac{-\pi^{3}\sqrt{2}}{36}$$
$$f(z)=\frac{\pi cot(\pi z)csc(\pi \sqrt{2}z)}{z^{3}}$$
Let S be the sum in question, then note that:
$$S=Res(f(z), 0)+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\pi}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{k^{4}}$$
$$\frac{-\pi^{3}\sqrt{2}}{36}+\frac{7\pi^{3}\sqrt{2}}{720}=\frac{-13\pi^{3}\sqrt{2}}{720}=\frac{-13\pi^{3}}{360\sqrt{2}}$$

Νο C,
the result I stated is correct. Mathematica and Wolfram on the other hand get it wrong.
