Some infinite series involving hyperbolic functions

Abstract

This paper develops an approach to the evaluation of infinite series involving hyperbolic functions. By using the approach, we give explicit formulas for several classes of series of hyperbolic functions in terms of Riemann zeta values. Moreover, we also establish many relations involving two or more series of hyperbolic functions. Furthermore, we obtain the Ramanujan's formula for \zeta(2n + 1) and find another similar formulas. The approach is based on simple contour integral representations and residue computations. Some interesting (known or new) consequences and illustrative examples are considered.
