I wrote this sum (out of the blue) and wondered if it has a closed form:
$$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} L^{\frac{1}{k}} \cdot(-1)^{k+1}$$ where $L \in \mathbb{N}$
I thought of a sum that would use "$\text{k-root}$" but with alternating sign ($+$ to $-$ etc..)
I couldn't find a way to do so, the only thing I did is write a program that calculates it, so I post here for help. Thank you so much!! :-)
