Abstract

For knk\leq n, let E(mn,k)E(mn,k) be the sum of all multiple zeta values of depth kk and weight mnmn with arguments are multiples of m2m\geq 2. More precisely, E(mn,k)=α=nζ(mα1,mα2,,mαk)E(mn,k)=\sum_{|\boldsymbol{\alpha}|=n}\zeta(m\alpha_1,m\alpha_2,\ldots, m\alpha_k). In this paper, we develop a formula to express E(mn,k)E(mn,k) in terms of ζ({m}p)\zeta(\{m\}^p) and ζ({m}q)\zeta^\star(\{m\}^q), 0p,qn0\leq p,q\leq n. In particular, we settle Gen\v{c}ev's conjecture on the evaluation of E(4n,k)E(4n,k) and also evaluate E(mn,k)E(mn,k) explicitly for small even m8m\leq 8.
