We present several sequences of Euler sums involving odd harmonic numbers. The calculational technique is based on proper two-valued integer functions, which allow to compute these sequences explicitly in terms of zeta values only.

We study the values of the zeta-function of the root system of type $G_2$ at positive integer points. In our previous work we considered the case when all integers are even, but in the present paper we prove several theorems which include…

We prove the irrationality of the classical Dirichlet L-value $L(2,\chi_{-3})$. The argument applies a new kind of arithmetic holonomy bound to a well-known construction of Zagier. In fact our work also establishes the $\mathbf{Q}$-linear…

This work derives 5 methods to evaluate families of odd zeta values by combining a power of $\pi$ with Lambert series whose ratios of successive terms tend to $e^{-\pi\sqrt{a}}$ with integers $a\ge7$, outperforming Ramanujan's results with…

For positive integers $i_1,...,i_k$ with $i_1 > 1$, we define the multiple $t$-value $t(i_1,...,i_k)$ as the sum of those terms in the usual infinite series for the multiple zeta value $\zeta(i_1,...,i_k)$ with odd denominators. Like the…

We found, by Hurwitz's Zeta Function, a new functional equation for Riemann Zeta Function. Considering this equation for $s=2$ and $s=1$, we determine a relation between the values of Riemann zeta Function on positive integers. The Matrix…

In this article we shall survey some recent progress on the study of Ap\'ery-like sums which are multiple variable generalizations of the two sums Ap\'ery used in his famous proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$. We only…

In the 1980s, Koecher and, independently, Leshchiner found an elegant formula for the generating function of odd zeta values. In this short note, we derive a $q$-analogue of this formula, which provides a $q$-version of the accelerated…

In this paper, we use the Thue-Morse sequence and the paperfolding sequence to build a Dirichlet series that evaluates to a linear combination of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers and odd powers of $\pi$. In doing so, we…

Finite differences of values of the Riemann zeta function at the integers are explored. Such quantities, which occur as coefficients in Newton series representations, have surfaced in works of Maslanka, Coffey, Baez-Duarte, Voros and…

The multiple zeta values (MZV) are a set of real numbers with a beautiful structure as an algebra over the rational numbers. They are related to maybe the most important conjecture on mathematics today, the Riemann hypothesis. In this paper…

An important component of Ap\'ery's proof that $\zeta (3)$ is irrational involves representing $\zeta (3)$ as the limit of the quotient of two rational solutions to a three-term recurrence. We present various approaches to such Ap\'ery…
