A Closed form for the $sum_{n=1}^{infty}sum_{k=1}^{n}frac{1}{(25k^2+25k+4)(n-k+1)^3}$

$begingroup$


I'm looking for a closed form for this sequence,




$$sum_{n=1}^{infty}left(sum_{k=1}^{n}frac{1}{(25k^2+25k+4)(n-k+1)^3} right)$$




I applied convergence test. The series converges.I want to know if the series is expressed with any mathematical constant. How can we do that?

          Proceeding in
          my usual naive way,



          $begin{array}\
          S
          &=sum_{n=1}^{infty}sum_{k=1}^{n}frac{1}{(25k^2+25k+4)(n-k+1)^3}\
          &=sum_{n=1}^{infty}sum_{k=1}^{n}frac{1}{(25k^2+25k+4)(n-k+1)^3} \
          &=sum_{k=1}^{infty}sum_{n=k}^{infty}frac{1}{(25k^2+25k+4)(n-k+1)^3} \
          &=sum_{k=1}^{infty}frac1{(25k^2+25k+4)}sum_{n=k}^{infty}frac{1}{(n-k+1)^3} \
          &=sum_{k=1}^{infty}frac1{(25k^2+25k+4)}sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{1}{n^3} \
          &=zeta(3)sum_{k=1}^{infty}frac1{(25k^2+25k+4)}\
          &=zeta(3)sum_{k=1}^{infty}frac1{(5k+1)(5k+4)}\
          &=zeta(3)sum_{k=1}^{infty}frac13left(frac1{5k+1}-frac1{5k+4}right)\
          &=frac{zeta(3)}{3}lim_{m to infty} sum_{k=1}^{m}left(frac1{5k+1}-frac1{5k+4}right)\
          &=frac{zeta(3)}{15}lim_{m to infty} left(sum_{k=1}^{m}frac1{k+1/5}-sum_{k=1}^{m}frac1{k+4/5}right)\
          &=-frac{zeta(3)}{15}lim_{m to infty} left(sum_{k=1}^{m}(frac1{k}-frac1{k+1/5})-sum_{k=1}^{m}(frac1{k}-frac1{k+4/5})right)\
          &=-frac{zeta(3)}{15}(psi(6/5)-psi(9/5))\
          &=frac{zeta(3)}{15}(psi(9/5)-psi(6/5))\
          end{array}
          $



          where
          $psi(x)$
          is the digamma function
          (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digamma_function).



          Note:
          Wolfy says that
          $sum_{k=1}^{infty}frac1{(5k+1)(5k+4)}
          = frac{pi}{15}sqrt{1 + frac{2}{sqrt{5}}} - frac1{4}
          $
          .

            First, there is a typo $frac{1}{(5k+1)(5k+4)} = color{red}{frac13} left(frac{1}{5k+1} - frac{1}{5k+4}right)$. Second, you can use identities $$psi(z+1) = psi(z) + frac1zquadtext{ and }quadpsi(1-z) - psi(z) = picotpi z$$ to get rid of $psi$.

          Change the order of summation, so it's $sum_{k=1}^infty sum_{n=k}^infty$.
          Then I get
          $$ {frac {zeta left( 3 right) left( 4,pi,cot left( pi/5
          right) -15 right) }{60}}
          $$

          You could also write $$cot(pi/5) = frac{sqrt{2}}{20} (5 + sqrt{5})^{3/2}$$

            I just stopped at the digamma function. Didn't realize it could be turned into a trig function.

            $cot(pi/5)=sqrt{1+2/sqrt{5}}$ is a little bit simpler.

            Dear teacher, is it possible to write which method you used? How do you get the Closed Form..? Thank You.

            First, there is a typo $frac{1}{(5k+1)(5k+4)} = color{red}{frac13} left(frac{1}{5k+1} - frac{1}{5k+4}right)$. Second, you can use identities $$psi(z+1) = psi(z) + frac1zquadtext{ and }quadpsi(1-z) - psi(z) = picotpi z$$ to get rid of $psi$.

          Change the order of summation, so it's $sum_{k=1}^infty sum_{n=k}^infty$.
          Then I get
          $$ {frac {zeta left( 3 right) left( 4,pi,cot left( pi/5
          right) -15 right) }{60}}
          $$

          You could also write $$cot(pi/5) = frac{sqrt{2}}{20} (5 + sqrt{5})^{3/2}$$
