On new representations of the values of the Dirichlet beta function at even points (Q6576771)

Let \(\beta(s)\) denote the Dirichlet beta function defined by \N\[\N\beta(s)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^{k-1}}{(2k-1)^s}, \qquad \Re(s)>0.\N\]\NThe purpose of this short note is to establish new representations of some certain linear combinations of numbers \(\beta(2n)\) defined by \N\[\N\mathcal{A}_m= \sum_{n=1}^m \frac{(-1)^{m-n}}{(2(m-n))!}\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)^{2(m-n)} \beta(2n),\N\]\Nwhere \(m\geq 1\) is an integer. Actually, the first representation of \(\mathcal{A}_m\) is in the form of series containing logarithms (Theorem 3), and the second representation is in the form of the limit of some sequences containing trigonometric functions (Theorem 4).
