Excellent!! How about this one. ⌣¨\ddot\smile⌣¨
Lol this is what I keep doing too - directing people to the IMPOSSIBRU integral xD
Actually, I got the correct answer to that one by hand-estimating. I'm fairly certain that your answer is not exactly correct. To 50 digits, the integral is 0.59738180945180348461311323509087376430643859042556, whereas to 50 digits, the right side is 0.59738519747762744103977711867133271207190293243263.

Quick sketch : the first two can be done using complex analysis just consider the integral over a half circle from RRR to −R-R−R counterclockwise and (−R,R)(-R,R)(−R,R).
For the sum, consider the integral of z↦πcsc(πz)z2+x2z\mapsto \frac{\pi \csc(\pi z)}{z^2+x^2}z↦z2+x2πcsc(πz) over a rectangle with vertices (n+1/2){1+i,1−i,−1+i,−1−i}(n+1/2)\left\{1+i,1-i,-1+i,-1-i\right\}(n+1/2){1+i,1−i,−1+i,−1−i}.
I can't write full solutions now, but I'll write when have time.
+1 for your comment. I know how to evaluate them using residue method but I am interested in evaluating them using elementary methods. Anyway, could you please post your solution to this problem: OMG !! Zeta and Pi in one integral!. Thank you.
@Tunk-Fey Ariawan Sorry, I do not have much time and the evaluation of ψ4(1/3)\psi_4(1/3)ψ4(1/3) is lengthy. To simplify Pranav's result you have only to calculate ψ4(1/3)\psi_4(1/3)ψ4(1/3) (using some basic polygamma identities).
@Haroun Meghaichi – I did solve your problem in similar fashion as @Pranav Arora did. I thought you had a different approach since you commented to him: "Have you noticed that the fraction has a partial fraction decomposition that might help?"
@Tunk-Fey Ariawan – @Tunk-Fey Ariawan I've added a solution to that problem. you may see that it is long, that's why I couldn't post it until I had time.
@Haroun Meghaichi – It look like we did it by using the same approach. Nice solution!

Answer is πe−β6+π3e−β/2(sin(3β2)+cos(3β2))\displaystyle \boxed{\frac{\pi e^{-\beta}}{6} + \frac{\pi}{\sqrt3}e^{-\beta/2}\left(\sin(\frac{\sqrt3 \beta}{2})+\cos(\frac{\sqrt3 \beta}{2})\right)}6πe−β+3πe−β/2(sin(23β)+cos(23β))
please anybody solve the integral using the residue theorem

The third one is equal to γπcsch(γπ), where csch is the hyperbolic cosecant. The first step is to take n2+γ2(−1)n=k=0∑∞n2k+2(−1)n+kγ2k We can then switch the order to a→∞limk=0∑∞n=−a∑an2k+2(−1)n+kγ2k to get k=0∑∞(−1)k−1(2−4−k)ζ(2k+2)γ2k This of course neglects the 02+γ2(−1)0 term (which is undefined for n=0 in the denominator of the summand), so we must add γ21 to our previous sum to get γ21+k=0∑∞(−1)k−1(2−4−k)ζ(2k+2)γ2k We can see the relation between these coefficients and the coefficients of the series for the hyperbolic cosecant to get that our answer should be γπcsch(γπ).
