The Mahler measures of certain polynomials of up to five variables are given in terms of multiple polylogarithms. Each formula is homogeneous and its weight coincides with the number of variables of the corresponding polynomial.
The purpose of this short note is to give a proof of the following identity between (logarithmic) Mahler measures m(y^2+2xy+y-x^3-2x^2-x)=5/7*m(y^2+4xy+y-x^3+x^2) which is one of many examples that arise from the comparison of Mahler…
In this paper, we prove new identities for Bernoulli polynomials that extend Alzer and Kwong's results. The key idea is to use the Volkenborn integral over $\mathbb Z_p$ of the Bernoulli polynomials to establish recurrence relations on the…
We propose some conjectures on the integrality properties related to the variation of Mahler measures, inspired by the results in the elliptic curve case by Rodriguez Villegas, Stienstra and Zagier.
Recently the second author and Qin numerically verified some Mahler measure identities of genus 2 and 3 polynomial families. In this paper, we use the elliptic regulator to prove an identity invoving shifted Mahler measure for Boyd's…
We provide evaluations of several recently studied higher and multiple Mahler measures using log-sine integrals. This is complemented with an analysis of generating functions and identities for log-sine integrals which allows the…
We use both Abel's lemma on summation by parts and Zeilberger's algorithm to find recurrence relations for definite summations. The role of Abel's lemma can be extended to the case of linear difference operators with polynomial…
In this paper we formulate combinatorial identities that give representation of positive integers as linear combination of even powers of 2 with binomial coefficients. We present side by side combinatorial as well as computer generated…
This article investigates the Mahler measure of a family of 2-variate polynomials, denoted by $P_d, d\geq 1$, unbounded in both degree and genus. By using a closed formula for the Mahler measure introduced in "Volume function and Mahler…
The W-polynomial is applied in two ways to questions involving the Kauffman bracket of some families of links. First we find a geometric property of a link diagram, which is less than or equal to the twist number, that bounds the Mahler…
We express the Mahler measure of an exact polynomial in arbitrarily many variables in terms of Deligne-Beilinson cohomology. We then focus on the relationship between the Mahler measure of four-variable exact polynomials and the special…
We give an identity which is conjectured and proved by using an implementation in Multi-WZ.
There are many examples of several-variable polynomials whose Mahler measure is expressed in terms of special values of polylogarithms. These examples are expected to be related to computations of regulators, as observed by Deninger, and…
A survey of results for Mahler measure of algebraic numbers, and one-variable polynomials with integer coefficients is presented. Related results on the maximum modulus of the conjugates (`house') of an algebraic integer are also discussed.…
This paper argues that automated proofs of identities for non-terminating hypergeometric series are feasible by a combination of Zeilberger's algorithm and asymptotic estimates. For two analogues of Saalsch\"utz' summation formula in the…
In 1969, I. Bernstein and S. Gelfand introduced an object, which is now called the zeta Mahler function (ZMF, also zeta Mahler measure) and related to the Mahler measure. Here we discuss a family of ZMFs attached to the Laurent polynomials…
We prove an identity relating Mahler measures of a certain family of non-tempered polynomials to those of tempered polynomials. Evaluations of Mahler measures of some polynomials in the first family are also given in terms of special values…
