Let's generalize these for any k > 1 k>1 .

Say S = m , n 1 m 2 n k m ( m k n + n k m ) = m , n 1 n 2 m k n ( m k n + n k m ) \displaystyle S=\sum_{m,n\ge1}\frac{m^2n}{k^m(mk^n+nk^m)}=\sum_{m,n\ge1}\frac{n^2m}{k^n(mk^n+nk^m)}

We get by adding 2 S = m , n 1 m n ( m k n + n k m ) k m + n ( m k n + n k m ) \displaystyle 2S = \sum_{m,n\ge1} \frac{mn\cancel{(mk^n+nk^m)}}{k^{m+n}\cancel{(mk^n+nk^m)}}

2 S = m , n 1 m n k m + n = m = 1 m k m n = 1 n k n \displaystyle 2S=\sum_{m,n\ge1}\frac{mn}{k^{m+n}}=\sum_{m=1}^{\infty}\frac{m}{k^m}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n}{k^n}

A further generalization says m = 1 m k m = k ( k 1 ) 2 \displaystyle \sum_{m=1}^{\infty}\frac{m}{k^m} = \frac{k}{(k-1)^2} putting which we get ,

2 S = 16 81 81 S = 8 \displaystyle 2S = \frac{16}{81}\implies \boxed{81S=8}

I think, k > 1 |k| >1 .

Treating m and n as identical and different and replacing m with n and n with m we get

Adding the two series we get an AGP Which can be easily evaluated

i would like to write it clearly ... here is a generalisation..
