$f$ is defined as
$$
f(x)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{\arctan(kx)}{k^2}\tag1
$$
For $0\lt x\le1$, the Mean Value Theorem says that there is a $h\in(0,x)$ so that
$$
\begin{align}
\frac{f(x)-f(0)}x
&=f'(h)\tag{2a}\\
&=\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac1{k\left(1+k^2h^2\right)}\tag{2b}\\
&\ge\sum_{k=1}^{\lfloor1/h\...
