Abstract

In this work, we derive relations between generating functions of double stuffle relations and double shuffle relations to express the alternating double Euler sums ζ(r,s)\zeta\left(\overline{r}, s\right), ζ(r,s)\zeta\left(r, \overline{s}\right) and ζ(r,s)\zeta\left(\overline{r}, \overline{s}\right) with r+sr+s odd in terms of zeta values. We also give a direct proof of a hypergeometric identity which is a limiting case of a basic hypergeometric identity of Andrews. Finally, we gave another proof for the formula of Zagier on the multiple zeta values ζ(2,,2,3,2,,2)\zeta(2,\ldots,2,3,2,\ldots,2).
