Dear Mathematica Gurus, Mathematical problem is following: Find rational numbers a,b,c such that (Pi^2)*a+b+c*Catalan==Zeta[2,5/k] for some k e.g. FindInstance[ Zeta[2, 5/4] -a Pi^2 - b - c Catalan == 0, {a, b, c}, Rationals] give answer FindInstance::nsmet: The methods available to FindInstance are insufficient to find the requested instances or prove they do not exist. >> What inspite FindInstance? (I know that we can do 6 loops (3 Denominators and 3 Numerators) but we have to have luck to give good range of loops.. Good answer for my example is {a,b,c}={1,-16,8}but in general case these a,b,c will be rationals (not integers) e.g. (Pi^2)*a+b+c*Catalan==Zeta[2,5/2] we have {a,b,c}={1/2,-40/9,0} but this last case Mathematica deduced autmathically if we execute : Zeta[2,5/2] first one none. Best wishes Artur
