Sums associated with the zeta function (Q1353545)

A large number of series containing the values of \(\zeta(s)\) at positive integers is evaluated. A sample example of the authors' results is \[ \sum_{k=1}^\infty {\zeta(2k)-1\over k(2k+1)4^k} = \log\left({27\pi\over4} \right) - 3. \] Proofs involve manipulations of various series and integrals involving e.g. the classical gamma-function and the so-called double gamma-function of Barnes.
