Already in 1734 Euler found a short explicit formula for the value of Riemann zeta function Zeta(s) when the argument s equals a positive integer 2n where n=1,2,3,. No such formula exists for odd positive integer arguments of Zeta. The…
An identity involving symmetric sums of regularized multiple zeta-star values of harmonic type was proved by Hoffman. In this paper, we prove an identity of shuffle type. We use Bell polynomials appearing in the study of set partitions to…
Recently, Simon Plouffe has discovered a number of identities for the Riemann zeta function at odd integer values. These identities are obtained numerically and are inspired by a prototypical series for Apery's constant given by Ramanujan:…
We prove a recent conjecture of Hadjicostas concerning a double integral formula involving the zeta and the gamma functions.
In recent years, there has been intensive research on the ${\mathbb Q}$-linear relations between multiple zeta (star) values. In this paper, we prove many families of identities involving the $q$-analog of these values, from which we can…
In this paper, we evaluate some series via the WZ method, and confirm several previous conjectures. For example, we prove the following two identities conjectured by the second author: $$\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(28k^2 + 10k + 1)…
In this paper, we explain several conjectures about how a product of two Carlitz-Goss zeta values can be expressed as a F_p-linear combination of Thakur's multizeta values, generalizing the q=2 case dealt by D. Thakur in Relations between…
It is well known that the following Collatz Conjecture is one of the unsolved problems in mathematics. Collatz Conjecture: For any positive integer $n>1$, the following recursive algorithm will convergent to 1 by a finite number of steps.…
Recently, Maesaka, Seki and Watanabe discovered a surprising equality between multiple harmonic sums and certain Riemann sums which approximate the iterated integral expression of the multiple zeta values. In this paper, we describe the…
We give a proof of two identities involving binomial sums at infinity conjectured by Z-W Sun. In order to prove these identities, we use a recently presented method i.e. we view the series as specializations of generating series and derive…
Commenting on an observation of Prof. Edwards, this note presents a method of evaluation of $\zeta(2n)$ that follows easily from Riemann's own representation of the zeta function.
We prove the second author's "denominator conjecture" [40] concerning the common denominators of coefficients of certain linear forms in zeta values. These forms were recently constructed to obtain lower bounds for the dimension of the…
Formal multiple zeta values allow to study multiple zeta values by algebraic methods in a way that the open question about their transcendence is circumvented. In this note we show that Hoffman's basis conjecture for formal multiple zeta…
In this paper, the extended double shuffle relations for interpolated multiple zeta values are established. As an application, Hoffman's relations for interpolated multiple zeta values are proved. Furthermore, a generating function for sums…
In this paper, we prove a new identity for values of the Hurwitz zeta function which contains as particular cases Koecher's identity for odd zeta values, the Bailey-Borwein-Bradley identity for even zeta values and many other interesting…
For all nonnegative integers n, the Franel numbers are defined as $$ f_n=\sum_{k=0}^n {n\choose k}^3.$$ We confirm two conjectures of Z.-W. Sun on congruences for Franel numbers: \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(3k+2)(-1)^k f_k &\equiv 0 \pmod{2n^2},…
We propose a relation between values of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta$ and a family of integrals. This results in an integral representation for $\zeta(2p)$, where $p$ is a positive integer, and an expression of $\zeta(2p+1)$ involving…
Dumont has conjectured a marvellous identity, which generalizes, in particular, the classical results of Lagrange, Gauss, Jacobi and Kronecker on the sums of two, three and four squares. We give a combinatorial proof of Dumont's conjecture.
Hirose, Murahara, and Saito proved that some $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta values, for indices in which $1$ and $3$ appear alternately in succession, can be expressed as polynomials in Riemann zeta values, and conjectured similar…
In 1998, Borwein, Bradley, Broadhurst and Lison\v{e}k posed two families of conjectural identities among multiple zeta values, later generalized by Charlton using his alternating block notation. In this paper, we prove a new class of…
