Infinite Series Yielding A Bunch of Known Constants
Prove that
\sum^\infty_{n=1}\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n}(1+\frac{1}{2^5}+\cdots+\frac{1}{(2n-1)^5})
=\frac{5089}{2048}\zeta(6)-\frac{15}{512}\log(2)\zeta(5)+\frac{15}{8}\zeta(4)G-\frac{9}{1024}\zeta^2(3)-\frac{1}{384}G\psi^{(3)}(\frac{1}{4})
Where \zeta is the Riemann-zeta function, G denotes the Catalan's constant and \psi^(n) represents the Polygamma function.
