FORMULA
1/(4*Pi) = Integral_{x>=0} cos(Pi*x/2)/(exp(2*Pi*sqrt(x))-1) dx (Ramanujan, 1913). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 01 2025
From Amiram Eldar, Apr 08 2026: (Start)
1/(4*Pi) = Sum_{k>=1} k*p(k)/cosh(sqrt(2*k-1/4)*Pi), where p(k) = A000041(k) is the number of partitions of k (Sandham, Problem 4585, 1954).
1/(4*Pi) = Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)*k/sinh(k*Pi) (Sandham, 1954, p. 430, eq. 1.31). (End)
