closed form for an alternating cosecant sum
Is there any closed form for the following finite sum
$$\sum_{j=1}^{n-1}\frac{(-1)^j}{\sin (\frac{j\pi}{n})}$$
where $n$ is an even number?
Any comment or reference is welcome.

Infinite series with inverse trigonometric functions
Consider the infinite series
$$
F(s)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{1}{k^{2s+1} \sin(k \pi \sqrt{2})}
$$
Prudnikov Vol.1 , gives a result for this sum in 5.4.16.13 for $s=1.$
$$
F(1)=-\frac{13 \pi^3}{360 \...

How to prove this sum involving powers of cosec is an integer?
It is claimed that the following function produces only integer values for all integer $m \geq 1$, $N \geq 2$.
$F(m,N)=\frac{N^m}{2^m}\displaystyle \sum_{j=1}^{N-1} \operatorname{cosec} ^{2m}\left(\...

(Dis)continuity of periodic functions with non-summable Fourier series
Let $f : [0,2 \pi)^d \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a square-integrable periodic function in $L^2( [0,2 \pi)^d )$ with $d \geq 1$.
We assume moreover that the square-summable Fourier coefficients of $f$, ...

How to prove that the convergence of $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\sec^a n}{n^c}$ implies that of $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\csc^a n}{n^c}$
The most general thing I've gotten is that the absolute convergence of $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\csc^a (n + x)}{n^c}$$ implies that of $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\csc^a \left(\frac{m}{2} n + \...
