Sum them all up for the second time!

Calculus Level 5

x = 1 ψ ( x ) x 2 = ζ ( A ) γ π B C \large \sum _{ x=1 }^{ \infty }{ \dfrac { \psi ( x ) }{ { x }^{ 2 } } } =\zeta ( A ) -\dfrac { \gamma { \pi }^{ B } }{ C }

If the equation above holds true for integers A , B A,B and C C , find A + B + C A+B+C .

Notation : ψ ( ) \psi(\cdot) denotes the Digamma function .


This is part of set Sum up all of them!

ψ ( n ) = H n 1 γ \displaystyle \psi(n) = H_{n-1} - \gamma

n = 1 ψ ( n ) n 2 = n = 1 H n 1 n 2 γ ζ ( 2 ) \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\psi(n)}{n^2} = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{H_{n-1}}{n^2} - \gamma\zeta(2)

n = 1 ψ ( n ) n 2 = s h ( 1 , 2 ) γ π 2 6 = ζ ( 3 ) γ π 2 6 \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\psi(n)}{n^2} = s_{h}(1,2) - \frac{\gamma\pi^2}{6} = \zeta(3)-\frac{\gamma\pi^2}{6}

Thus the answer : 3 + 6 + 2 = 11 \boxed{3+6+2=11}
