$\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac {x^{2i-1}}{\sqrt{2i}}$ as polylogarithm
$$\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac {x^{2i-1}}{\sqrt{2i}}$$
It is very clear for me that it has to be polylogarithm function but as it is partial sum I tried to split the series as
$$\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} \frac {x^{...

Yet another difficult logarithmic integral
This question is a follow-up to MSE#3142989.
Two seemingly innocent hypergeometric series ($\phantom{}_3 F_2$)
$$ \sum_{n\geq 0}\left[\frac{1}{4^n}\binom{2n}{n}\right]^2\frac{(-1)^n}{2n+1}\qquad \...

Closed form for $\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{\Gamma\left(n+\tfrac14\right)}{2^n\,(4n+1)^2\,n!}$
I was experimenting with hypergeometric-like series and discovered the following conjecture (so far confirmed by more than $5000$ decimal digits):
$$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{\Gamma\!\left(n+\tfrac14\...
