Series acceleration formulae for beta values
Khodabakhsh Hessami Pilehrood, Tatiana Hessami Pilehrood
Abstract
We prove generating function identities producing fast convergent
series for the sequences β(2n+1),
β(2n+2) and β(2n+3), where
β is Dirichlet's beta function. In particular, we
obtain a new accelerated series for Catalan's constant convergent at a
geometric rate with ratio 2-10, which can be
considered as an analog of Amdeberhan-Zeilberger's series for
ζ(3).
