FORMULA
Sum_{k >= 0} binomial(2*k,k)/((2*k + 1)^3*16^k) = 7*Pi^3/216. (Kh. Hessami Pilehrood and T. Hessami Pilehrood).
From Peter Bala, Feb 05 2015: (Start)
The integer sequences A(n) := 2^n*(2*n + 1)!^3/n!^2 and B(n) := A(n)*( Sum {k = 0..n} binomial(2*k,k)*1/(2*k + 1)^3*(1/16)^k ) both satisfy the second order recurrence equation u(n) = (160*n^4 + 128*n^3 + 144*n^2 + 2)*u(n-1) - 32*(n - 1)*(2*n - 1)^7*u(n-2). From this observation we can obtain the continued fraction expansion 7/216*Pi^3 = 1 + 2/(432 - 32*3^7/(4162 - 32*2*5^7/(17714 - ... - 32*(n - 1)*(2*n - 1)^7/((160*n^4 + 128*n^3 + 144*n^2 + 2) - ... )))).

Pi^3 = (1/7) * Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n*( 1/(n + 1/6)^3 + 1/(n + 5/6)^3 ).
Pi^3 = (1/31) * Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n*( 1/(n + 1/10)^3 - 1/(n + 3/10)^3 - 1/(n + 7/10)^3 + 1/(n + 9/10)^3 ). Cf. A019692, A092731 and A092735. (End)
