Described some own research.
Jul 16, 2021 at 12:58 comment added Jack D'Aurizio Cancellation is tricky here, since the serie appearing in (2) is not absolutely convergent. Anyway, have a look at Knopp's lemma at page 70 here: drive.google.com/file/d/0BxKdOVsjsuEwdjBEM1dpRkhMa2s/view
Jul 15, 2021 at 20:06 comment added Oscar Lanzi Criss products mean terms like $2ab$ in $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$. In this case there are infinitely many and somehow the positive ones cancel the negative ones exactly leaving just the Squares. Why does that cancelation work for just this series?

Jul 15, 2021 at 19:24 comment added Oscar Lanzi Glory comes to the brave ... .
Jul 15, 2021 at 19:24 comment added Vishu I’m pretty sure that will work, but too lazy to. :)
Jul 15, 2021 at 19:23 comment added Oscar Lanzi Try it and see, maybe?
Jul 15, 2021 at 19:13 comment added Vishu The cross terms can be written as $$\sum_{0\le a\lt b\lt\infty} \frac{(16a+4)(16b+4)}{(8a+1)(8a+3)(8b+1)(8b+3)} - \frac{(16a+12)(16b+12)}{(8a+5)(8a+7)(8b+1)(8b+7)} $$ I suppose one way of showing this equals zero is by using partial fractions and the closed -form for $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left( \frac{1}{n+p} -\frac{1}{n+q} \right)$.
