Set p=3 and x=0 in the Fourier series from b. Since the function is continuous there, pointwise convergence of a piecewise smooth Fourier series gives
0=31​−61​−6∑n≥1n=3​​n2−9(−1)n​.
(1)
It follows that
∑n≥1n=3​​n2−9(−1)n​=361​.
(2)
The n=1 and n=2 terms are 1/8 and −1/5, respectively. Subtracting them gives the required absolutely convergent series:
n=4∑∞​n2−9(−1)n​=361​−81​+51​=36037​​.
