Evaluation of eight different families of cubic Euler sums

Number Theory 2026-05-08 v1

Abstract

We present a study on cubic Euler sums of degree four, five and six, where three different types of denominators 1/kn1/k^n, 1/((2k1)n)1/((2k-1)^n) and 1/(k(2k1))1/(k(2k-1)) will be considered We demonstrate that for all three orders the complete variety of corresponding nonlinear Euler sums belonging to the eight different families can be explicitly calculated in terms of zeta values and polylogarithmic values Li4(1/2)Li_4(1/2), Li5(1/2)Li_5(1/2), Li6(1/2)Li_6(1/2), Li6(1/2)Li_6(-1/2) and Li6(1/8)Li_6(-1/8).
