Formula

1 - (Pi/4) = (4 - Pi)/4 = 1 - A003881 = A153799/4.

From Amiram Eldar, Jun 29 2020: (Start)

Equals Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k/(2*k+3).

Equals Integral_{x=0..Pi/4} tan(x)^2 dx.

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

Equals Integral_{x=1..oo} dx/(x^2+x^4). (End)

Equals -Integral_{x=0..1, y=0..1} arcsin(x*y)/((1+x*y)^2*log(x*y)) dx dy. (Apply Theorem 1 or Theorem 2 from Glasser (2019) to one of Amiram Eldar's integrals.) - Petros Hadjicostas, Jun 29 2020

Continued fraction 1/(3 + 3^2/(2 + 5^2/(2 + 7^2/(2 + ... )))). - Peter Bala, Feb 28 2024
