Formulae for ζ(2n) andLχ4(2n+ 1) involving Euler and tangent numbers are derived using the hyperbolic secant probability distribution and its moment generating function. In particular, the Basel problem, where ζ(2) = π2/ 6, is considered. Euler's infinite product for the sine is also proved using the distribution of sums of independent hyperbolic secant random variables and a local limit theorem.

In this paper we study the problem of the diffusion of one substance through the pores of a porous multi layered material which may absorb and immobilize some of the diffusing substances with the evolution or absorption of heat. As an example we consider circular cross section wood-block with two layers in the radial direction. We consider the transfer of heat process. We derive the system of two partial differential equations (PDEs) - one expressing the rate of change of concentration of water vapour in the air spaces and the other - the rate of change of temperature in every layer. The approximation of corresponding initial boundary value problem of the system of PDEs is based on the conservative averaging method (CAM) with special integral splines. This procedure allows reduce the 3-D axis-symmetrical transfer problem in multi-layered domain described by a system of PDEs to initial value problem for a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of the first order.

Summary A rigorous elementary proof of the Basel problem [6, 1] $$\sum\nolimits_{n = 1}^\infty {{1 \over {n^2 }} = {{\pi ^2 } \over 6}} $$ is formalized in the Mizar system [3]. This theorem is item #14 from the “Formalizing 100 Theorems” list maintained by Freek Wiedijk at http://www.cs.ru.nl/F.Wiedijk/100/.

The sum∑i^{-i+1} converges very fast as compared with∑i^{-i}, but its value is very close to Euler's solution for the Basel Problem. This begs the question, can there be a solution involving π or other identities ?
