Abstract

In this paper, we are going to perform the shuffle products of Z(n)=a+b=m(1)bζ({1}a,b+2)Z_-(n) = \sum_{a+b=m} (-1)^{b} \zeta(\{1\}^{a},b+2) and Z+(n)=c+d=nζ({1}c,d+2)Z_+^\star(n) = \sum_{c+d=n} \zeta^{\star}(\{1\}^{c},d+2) with m+n=pm+n = p. The resulted shuffle relation is a weighted sum formula given by \begin{equation*} \frac{(p+1)(p+2)}{2} \zeta(p+4) =\sum_{m+n=p} \sum_{|\boldsymbol{\alpha}|=p+3} \zeta(\alpha_{0}, \alpha_{1}, \ldots, \alpha_{m}, \alpha_{m+1}+1) \sum_{a+b+c=m} \Bigl( W_{\boldsymbol\alpha}(a,b,c) + W_{\boldsymbol\alpha}(a,b,c=0) + W_{\boldsymbol\alpha}(a=0,b,c) + W_{\boldsymbol\alpha}(a=0,b=m,c=0) \Bigr), \end{equation*} where Wα(a,b,c)=2σ(a+b+1)σ(a)(b+1)(121αa+b+1  )W_{\boldsymbol\alpha}(a,b,c) = 2^{\sigma(a+b+1)-\sigma(a)-(b+1)} (1-2^{1-\alpha_{a+b+1}}\ \ ), with σ(r)=j=0rαj\sigma(r) = \sum_{j=0}^{r} \alpha_{j}.
