PARI

psi(-1/2)

Formula

Equals 2 + psi(1/2) = 2 - 2*log(2) - EulerGamma = 2 - A020759, (since psi(1 + x) = psi(x) + 1/x).

Equals PolyGamma(3/2). - Peter Luschny, Apr 14 2020

Equals Sum_{k>=1} (zeta(2*k+1)-1)/((k+1)*(2*k+1)). - Amiram Eldar, May 24 2021

Equals 4*Pi*Integral_{x>=0} (log(1 + i*x) / (exp(-Pi*x) + exp(Pi*x))^2). - Peter Luschny, Aug 04 2021

Equals lim_{n->oo} (log(n) - Sum_{k=1..n} 1/(k+1/2)). - Amiram Eldar, Mar 04 2023
