We define and apply a method to study the non-vanishing of $p$-adic cyclotomic multiple zeta values. We prove the non-vanishing of certain cyclotomic multiple harmonic sums, and, via a formula proved in another paper, which expresses a…
We consider the sums $S(k)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{nk}}{(2n+1)^k}$ and $\zeta(2k)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^{2k}}$ with $k$ being a positive integer. We evaluate these sums with multiple integration, a modern technique. First, we…
In recent three--loop calculations of massive Feynman integrals within Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and, e.g., in recent combinatorial problems the so-called generalized harmonic sums (in short $S$-sums) arise. They are characterized by…
We exploit transformations relating generalized $q$-series, infinite products, sums over integer partitions, and continued fractions, to find partition-theoretic formulas to compute the values of constants such as $\pi$, and to connect sums…
We present explicit formulas for the following family of parametric binomial sums involving harmonic numbers for $p=0,1,2$ and $|t|\leq1$. $$ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{H_{k-1}t^k}{k^p\binom{n+k}{k}}\quad \mbox{and}\quad…

We derive new infinite series involving Fibonacci numbers and Riemann zeta numbers. The calculations are facilitated by evaluating linear combinations of polygamma functions of the same order at certain arguments.
We express the $q$-Pochhammer symbol $(z;q)_\infty$ as an infinite product of gamma functions, analogously to how Narukawa expressed the elliptic gamma function as an infinite product of hyperbolic gamma functions. This identity is used to…
Some finite series of harmonic numbers involving certain reciprocals are evaluated. Products of such reciprocals are expanded in a sum of the individual reciprocals, leading to a computer program. A list of examples is provided.
An improved multi-summation approach is introduced and discussed that enables one to simultaneously handle indefinite nested sums and products in the setting of difference rings and holonomic sequences. Relevant mathematics is reviewed and…
We develop ladders that reduce $\zeta(n):=\sum_{k>0}k^{-n}$, for $n=3,5,7,9,11$, and $\beta(n):=\sum_{k\ge0}(-1)^k(2k+1)^{-n}$, for $n=2,4,6$, to convergent polylogarithms and products of powers of $\pi$ and $\log2$. Rapid computability…
We investigate the representation of symmetric polynomials as a sum of squares. Since this task is solved using semidefinite programming tools we explore the geometric, algebraic, and computational implications of the presence of discrete…
We prove the uniqueness of a translation invariant extension to non integer order classical symbols of the ordinary discrete sum on $L^1$-symbols, which we then describe using an Hadamard finite part procedure for sums over integer points…
We introduce an iterated integral version of (generalized) log-sine integrals (iterated log-sine integrals) and prove a relation between a multiple polylogarithm and iterated log-sine integrals. We also give a new method for obtaining…
Multiple zeta-star values are variants of multiple zeta values which allow equality in the definition. Similar to the theory of continued fractions, every real number which is greater than $1$ can be realized as an unique infinite multiple…
We obtain a variety of series and integral representations of the digamma function $\psi(a)$. These in turn provide representations of the evaluations $\psi(p/q)$ at rational argument and for the polygamma function $\psi^{(j)}$. The…
By integrating a series provided by Knopp, a series representation of the Euler-Mascheroni constant arises. The infinite sum representation of {\gamma} is determined through Fourier series (sawtooth wave).
