Great! But this is not the end of the story.
We can get rid of the EllipticK.

The way I look at things involve the LemniscateConstant.
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LemniscateConstant.html

L := GAMMA(1/4)^2/sqrt(8*Pi) = 2.622057556...

So if we replace the constat K in Plouffe's formula by L we get

ln(L(1/sqrt(2)))/ln(exp(1/Pi))

Nice, isn't it? ;-) Summing up:

/
| Integral(ln(Pi^2+log(x)^2)/(1+x^2), x = 0..1)
| = Pi*ln(1/2*Pi^(3/2)/(GAMMA(3/4)^2))
\

evalf(%,50); 1.9395745220275329586655005909882008730942339448307

From which it is obvious that

sum((-1)^n*Ci((2*n+1)*Pi)/(2*n+1), n= 0..infinity)

=

Pi/2*ln(Pi^(3/2)/(2*GAMMA(3/4)^2)) - ln(Pi^Pi)/4

heh, quite a nice sum :)

So, you invented a beautiful integral...

I wonder how on planet you guessed it?

Cheers Vladimir

Speaking only for myself, knowing that K( 1/sqrt(2) ) is "special" is
just one of those things I remember. 8-)

There are a number of articles at MathWorld that provide relevant
information, in particular:

o Elliptic Integral Singular Value ... eqn. (3)
<http://mathworld.wolfram.com/EllipticIntegralSingularValue.html>

o Elliptic Lambda Function ... eqn. (11)
<http://mathworld.wolfram.com/EllipticLambdaFunction.html>

o Gamma Function ... eqn. (64) and the preceeding paragraph
<http://mathworld.wolfram.com/GammaFunction.html>

I like the way you put it. Especially the Pi^Pi pleases me.

So we have numerically .7071851108147692981e-1
Back to Plouffe's Inverter. It says:

> 7071851023016875 = (p241)
> Your value of 7071851108147692 would be here.
> 7071851108577178 = (m414) Riemannzero2*LemniGauss^2/exp(TravelSale)

This is interesting because LemniGauss appears in the adjacent
formula.
But does it not also confirm Axel's complaint? What is TravelSale?

It was divine inspiration after five days of abstinence ;)
