%N Decimal expansion of (3/16)*Pi.

%C Area of one egg of the "double egg" whose polar equation is r(t) = a * cos(t)^2 and a Cartesian equation is (x^2+y^2)^3 = a^2*x^4 is equal to (3/16)*Pi * a^2. See the curve at the Mathcurve link.

%F Equals Integral_{t=0..Pi} (1/2) * cos(t)^4 * dt.

%F Equals Integral_{x=0..oo} 1/(x^2 + 1)^3 dx. - _Amiram Eldar_, Aug 13 2020

%F From _Peter Bala_, Mar 21 2024: (Start)

%F Equals 1/2 + Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n/(u(n)*u(-n)), where the polynomial u(n) = (2*n - 1)*(4*n^2 - 4*n + 3)/3 = A057813(n-1) has its zeros on the vertical line Re(z) = 1/2 in the complex plane. Cf. A336308.

%F Equals 1/2 + 1/(11 + 3/(12 + 15/(12 + 35/(12 + ... + (4*n^2 - 1)/(12 + ... ))))). See Lorentzen and Waadeland, p. 586, equation 4.7.10 with n = 2. (End)
