Evaluating the sum of the series $sumlimits_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n^{3} binom{2n}{n}} $

$begingroup$


Wolfram MathWorld states that $$ sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n^{3} binom{2n}{n}} = frac{ pi sqrt{3}}{18} Bigg[ psi_{1} left(frac{1}{3} right) - psi_{1} left(frac{2}{3} right) Bigg]- frac{4}{3} zeta(3) , , $$



where $psi_{1}(x)$ is the trigamma function.



I can't seem to get the answer in that form.



Using the Taylor expansion $ displaystyle arcsin^{2}(x) = frac{1}{2} sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n^{2} binom{2n}{n}} (2x)^{2n}$, I get



$$ sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n^{3} binom{2n}{n}} = 4 int_{0}^{frac{1}{2}} frac{arcsin^{2}(x)}{x} , dx. $$



Then I integrating by parts, I get



$$ begin{align} &4 int_{0}^{frac{1}{2}} frac{arcsin^{2}(x)}{x} , dx \ &= frac{pi^{2}}{9} ln left(frac{1}{2} right) - 8 int_{0}^{frac{1}{2}} frac{arcsin (x) ln (x)}{sqrt{1-x^{2}}} , dx \ &= - frac{pi^{2}}{9} ln 2 - 8 int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} u ln (sin u ) , du \ &= - 8 ln 2 int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} u , du - 8int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} u ln (sin u ) , du \ &= - 8 int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} u ln ( 2 sin u ) , du \ &= -8 text{Re} int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} u ln (1-e^{2iu}) , du \ &= 8 text{Re} int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} u sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{e^{2in u}}{n} , du \ &= 8 sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n} int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} u cos (2nu) , du \ &= frac{2 pi}{3} sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{sin (frac{n pi}{3})}{n^{2}} + 2 sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{cos (frac{n pi}{3})}{n^{3}} - 2 zeta(3) \ &= frac{2 pi}{3} Bigg( frac{sqrt{3}}{2} sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{1}{(6n+1)^{2}} + frac{sqrt{3}}{2} sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{1}{(6n+2)^{2}} - frac{sqrt{3}}{2} sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{1}{(6n+4)^{2}} - frac{sqrt{3}}{2} sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{1}{(6n+5)^{2}} Bigg) \ &+ 2 Bigg( frac{1}{2} sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{1}{(6n+1)^{3}} - frac{1}{2} sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{1}{(6n+2)^{3}} - sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{1}{(6n+3)^{3}} - frac{1}{2} sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{1}{(6n+4)^{3}} \ &+ frac{1}{2} sum_{n=0}^{infty} frac{1}{(6n+5)^{3}} + sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{(6n)^{3}} Bigg) - 2 zeta(3) \ &= frac{pi sqrt{3}}{108} Bigg( psi_{1} left(frac{1}{6} right) + psi_{1} left(frac{1}{3} right) - psi_{1} left(frac{2}{3} right) - psi_{1}left(frac{5}{6} right) Bigg) + frac{1}{432} Bigg( - psi_{2} left(frac{1}{6} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) \ &-28 zeta(3) + psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) - psi_{2} left(frac{5}{6} right) + 4 zeta(3)Bigg) - 2 zeta (3) .end{align}$$



From here I've been going in circles trying to get the answer in the form given above.




EDIT:



Using the duplication formula for the trigamma function (i.e., $ displaystyle 4 psi_{1}(2x) = psi_{1}(x) + psi_{1} left(x + frac{1}{2} right) $),



$$ begin{align} &psi_{1} left(frac{1}{6} right) + psi_{1} left(frac{1}{3} right) - psi_{1} left(frac{2}{3} right) - psi_{1}left(frac{5}{6} right) \ &= 4 psi_{1} left(frac{1}{3} right) -psi_{1} left(frac{2}{3} right) + psi_{1} left(frac{1}{3} right) -psi_{1} left(frac{2}{3} right) - 4 psi_{1} left(frac{2}{3} right) + psi_{1} left(frac{1}{3} right) \ &= 6 psi_{1} left(frac{1}{3} right) - 6 psi_{1} left(frac{2}{3} right). end{align}$$



Therefore,



$$ begin{align} sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n^{3} binom{2n}{n}} &= frac{sqrt{3} pi}{18} Bigg( psi_{1} left(frac{1}{3} right) - psi_{1} left(frac{2}{3} right) Bigg) +
frac{1}{432} Bigg( - psi_{2} left(frac{1}{6} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) \ &+ psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) - psi_{2} left(frac{5}{6} right) - 2 zeta(3)Bigg) - 2 zeta (3). end{align}$$



So it comes down to somehow showing that $$-psi_{2} left(frac{1}{6} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) - psi_{2} left(frac{5}{6} right) = 312 zeta(3) .$$



SECOND EDIT:



Using the duplication formula for $psi_{2}(x)$, we get



$$ begin{align} &-psi_{2} left(frac{1}{6} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) - psi_{2} left(frac{5}{6} right) \ &= -8 psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) +psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) +psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) - 8 psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) \ &= -6 psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) - 6 psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) . end{align}$$



And using the more general multiplication formula, we get



$$ psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) + psi_{2} left( frac{2}{3} right) + psi_{2}(1) = 27 psi_{2} (1) .$$



Therefore,



$$ -6 psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) - 6 psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) = -156 psi_{2} (1) = 312 zeta(3) .$$

    Isn't this the sum that came up in Apery's proof of the irrationality of $zeta(3)$? If so, it may be in Alf van der Poorten's paper, "A Proof that Euler Missed". Also, I think the sum may be done in Comtet's book on Combinatorics. Also, look at the "Related" questions running down the side of this page.

$$ begin{align} sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n^{3} binom{2n}{n}} &= frac{sqrt{3} pi}{18} Bigg( psi_{1} left(frac{1}{3} right) - psi_{1} left(frac{2}{3} right) Bigg) +
frac{1}{432} Bigg( - psi_{2} left(frac{1}{6} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) \ &+ psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) - psi_{2} left(frac{5}{6} right) - 2 zeta(3)Bigg) - 2 zeta (3). end{align}$$



So it comes down to somehow showing that $$-psi_{2} left(frac{1}{6} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) - psi_{2} left(frac{5}{6} right) = 312 zeta(3) .$$



SECOND EDIT:



Using the duplication formula for $psi_{2}(x)$, we get



$$ begin{align} &-psi_{2} left(frac{1}{6} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) - psi_{2} left(frac{5}{6} right) \ &= -8 psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) +psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) +psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) - 8 psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) + psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) \ &= -6 psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) - 6 psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) . end{align}$$



And using the more general multiplication formula, we get



$$ psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) + psi_{2} left( frac{2}{3} right) + psi_{2}(1) = 27 psi_{2} (1) .$$



Therefore,



$$ -6 psi_{2} left(frac{1}{3} right) - 6 psi_{2} left(frac{2}{3} right) = -156 psi_{2} (1) = 312 zeta(3) .$$

    Isn't this the sum that came up in Apery's proof of the irrationality of $zeta(3)$? If so, it may be in Alf van der Poorten's paper, "A Proof that Euler Missed". Also, I think the sum may be done in Comtet's book on Combinatorics. Also, look at the "Related" questions running down the side of this page.

Using the Taylor expansion for $arcsin^2(x)$ and integrating, it's easy to show (as you made) that
$$
begin{align}
sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n^{3} binom{2n}{n}}
&= 4 int_{0}^{frac{1}{2}} frac{arcsin^{2}(x)}{x} operatorname{d}x = - 8 int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} u ln ( 2 sin u ) operatorname{d}u \
&= frac{2 pi}{3} sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{sin (frac{n pi}{3})}{n^{2}} + 2 sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{cos (frac{n pi}{3})}{n^{3}} - 2 zeta(3)\
&=frac{2 pi}{3}operatorname{Cl}_2left(frac{pi}{3}right)+2operatorname{Cl}_3left(frac{pi}{3}right)-2 zeta(3)
end{align}
$$
recalling that the Clausen function are defined as
$$
operatorname{Cl}_{m}(theta)=
begin{cases}displaystyle
sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{sin (ntheta)}{n^{m}}& text{for } mtext{ even}\
displaystylesum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{cos(ntheta)}{n^{m}}& text{for } mtext{ odd}
end{cases}
$$
The value of the Clausen function $operatorname{Cl}_3$ at $frac{pi}{3}$ is
$$
operatorname{Cl}_3left(frac{pi}{3}right)=frac{1}{2}left(1-2^{-2}right)left(1-3^{-2}right)zeta(3)=frac{1}{3}zeta(3)
$$
From the duplication formula
$$
operatorname{Cl}_{2m}(2theta)=2^{2m-1}left[operatorname{Cl}_{2m}(theta)-operatorname{Cl}_{2m}(pi-theta)right]
$$
we find
$$
operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{2pi}{3}right)=frac{2}{3}operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{pi}{3}right).
$$
From the identities for the trigamma function at $1/3$ and $2/3$
$$
begin{align}
psi_1left(frac{1}{3}right) &=frac{2pi^2}{3}+3sqrt 3operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{2pi}{3}right)\
psi_1left(frac{2}{3}right) &=frac{2pi^2}{3}-3sqrt 3operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{2pi}{3}right)
end{align}
$$
one has
$$
psi_1left(frac{1}{3}right)-psi_1left(frac{2}{3}right)=6sqrt 3operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{2pi}{3}right)
$$
and then
$$
operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{pi}{3}right)=frac{sqrt 3}{12}left[psi_1left(frac{1}{3}right)-psi_1left(frac{2}{3}right)right]
$$



Finally, putting all together, we have
$$
begin{align}
sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n^{3} binom{2n}{n}}
&=frac{2 pi}{3}operatorname{Cl}_2left(frac{pi}{3}right)+2operatorname{Cl}_3left(frac{pi}{3}right)-2 zeta(3)\
&=frac{2 pi}{3}frac{sqrt 3}{12}left[psi_1left(frac{1}{3}right)-psi_1left(frac{2}{3}right)right]+2frac{1}{3}zeta(3)-2zeta(3)\
&=frac{pisqrt 3}{18}left[psi_1left(frac{1}{3}right)-psi_1left(frac{2}{3}right)right]-frac{4}{3}zeta(3).
end{align}
$$

          Using the Taylor expansion for $arcsin^2(x)$ and integrating, it's easy to show (as you made) that
          $$
          begin{align}
          sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{1}{n^{3} binom{2n}{n}}
          &= 4 int_{0}^{frac{1}{2}} frac{arcsin^{2}(x)}{x} operatorname{d}x = - 8 int_{0}^{frac{pi}{6}} u ln ( 2 sin u ) operatorname{d}u \
          &= frac{2 pi}{3} sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{sin (frac{n pi}{3})}{n^{2}} + 2 sum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{cos (frac{n pi}{3})}{n^{3}} - 2 zeta(3)\
          &=frac{2 pi}{3}operatorname{Cl}_2left(frac{pi}{3}right)+2operatorname{Cl}_3left(frac{pi}{3}right)-2 zeta(3)
          end{align}
          $$
          recalling that the Clausen function are defined as
          $$
          operatorname{Cl}_{m}(theta)=
          begin{cases}displaystyle

          displaystylesum_{n=1}^{infty} frac{cos(ntheta)}{n^{m}}& text{for } mtext{ odd}
          end{cases}
          $$
          The value of the Clausen function $operatorname{Cl}_3$ at $frac{pi}{3}$ is
          $$
          operatorname{Cl}_3left(frac{pi}{3}right)=frac{1}{2}left(1-2^{-2}right)left(1-3^{-2}right)zeta(3)=frac{1}{3}zeta(3)
          $$
          From the duplication formula
          $$
          operatorname{Cl}_{2m}(2theta)=2^{2m-1}left[operatorname{Cl}_{2m}(theta)-operatorname{Cl}_{2m}(pi-theta)right]
          $$
          we find
          $$
          operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{2pi}{3}right)=frac{2}{3}operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{pi}{3}right).
          $$
          From the identities for the trigamma function at $1/3$ and $2/3$
          $$
          begin{align}
          psi_1left(frac{1}{3}right) &=frac{2pi^2}{3}+3sqrt 3operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{2pi}{3}right)\
          psi_1left(frac{2}{3}right) &=frac{2pi^2}{3}-3sqrt 3operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{2pi}{3}right)
          end{align}
          $$
          one has
          $$
          psi_1left(frac{1}{3}right)-psi_1left(frac{2}{3}right)=6sqrt 3operatorname{Cl}_{2}left(frac{2pi}{3}right)
          $$
          and then
          $$

          $$



          Finally, putting all together, we have

                      Para el género de plantas, véase Musa (planta). Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo...
