Abstract

In this paper we first establish several integral identities. These integrals are of the form 01xan+bf(x)dx(a{1,2}, b{1,2})\int_0^1 x^{an+b} f(x)\,dx\quad (a\in\{1,2\},\ b\in\{-1,-2\}) where f(x)f(x) is a single-variable multiple polylogarithm function or rr-variable multiple polylogarithm function or Kaneko--Tsumura A-function (this is a single-variable multiple polylogarithm function of level two). We find that these integrals can be expressed in terms of multiple zeta (star) values and their related variants (multiple tt-values, multiple TT-values, multiple SS-values etc.), and multiple harmonic (star) sums and their related variants (multiple TT-harmonic sums, multiple SS-harmonic sums etc.). Using these integral identities, we prove many explicit evaluations of Kaneko--Yamamoto multiple zeta values and their related variants. Further, we derive some relations involving multiple zeta (star) values and their related variants.
