Formula

Equals Integral_{x>=1} H(x)/x^2 dx, where H(x) is the harmonic number for real variable x (Shamos, 2011).

Equals -zeta'(2) + Sum_{k>=3} (-1)^(k+1)*zeta(k)/(k-2) (Mező, 2014).

Equals Sum_{k>=1} lambda(k)*H(k)/(k^2*k!) + 1 + zeta(3) - gamma * zeta(2), where lambda(k) = abs(A006232(k)/A006233(k)) is the n-th non-alternating Cauchy number, H(k) = A001008(k)/A002805(k) is the k-th harmonic number, and gamma is Euler's constant (A001620) (Candelpergher and Coppo, 2012). - Amiram Eldar, Mar 18 2024
