In this paper, we give a purely algebraic proof of an identity coming directly from Euler's reflection formula for the gamma function. Our proof uses Hoffman's harmonic algebra and some binomial identities.
We give an explicit representation for the sums of multiple zeta-star values of fixed weight and height in terms of Riemann zeta values.
In this paper we shall define a special-valued multiple Hurwitz zeta functions, namely the multiple $t$-values $t(\boldsymbol{\alpha})$ and define similarly the multiple star $t$-values as $t^{\star}(\boldsymbol{\alpha})$. Then we consider…
A typical formula of multiple zeta values is the sum formula which expresses a Riemann zeta value as a sum of all multiple zeta values of fixed weight and depth. Recently weighted sum formulas, which are weighted analogues of the sum…
We prove that any Mordell-Tornheim sum with positive integer arguments can be expressed as a rational linear combination of multiple zeta values of the same weight and depth. By a result of Tsumura, it follows that any Mordell-Tornheim sum…
We prove a new class of relations among multiple zeta values (MZV's) which contains Ohno's relation. We also give the formula for the maximal number of independent MZV's of fixed weight, under our new relations. To derive our formula for…
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…
We prove some weighted sum formulas for half multiple zeta values, half finite multiple zeta values, and half symmetric multiple zeta values. The key point of our proof is Dougall's identity for the generalized hypergeometric function…
We prove that every multiple zeta value is a $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination of $\zeta(k_1,\dots, k_r)$ where $k_i\geq 2$. Our proof also yields an explicit algorithm for such an expansion. The key ingredient is to introduce modified…
Using a polylogarithmic identity, we express the values of $\zeta$ at odd integers $2n+1$ as integrals over unit $n-$dimensional hypercubes of simple functions involving products of logarithms. We also prove a useful property of those…
In this paper, we provide a symmetric formula and a duality formula relating multiple zeta values and zeta-star values. Leveraging Zagier's formula for computing $\zeta^\star(\{2\}^p,3,\{2\}^q)$, we employ our theorems to establish a…
The multiple zeta values are multivariate generalizations of the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. The Bowman-Bradley theorem asserts that the multiple zeta values at the sequences obtained by inserting a fixed…
Flajolet and Salvy pointed out that every Euler sum is a $\mathbb{Q}$-linear combination of multiple zeta values. However, in the literature, there is no formula completely revealing this relation. In this paper, using permutations and…
We combine the powerful method of Wilf-Zeilberger pairs with systematic theory of multiple zeta values to prove a large number of series identities due to Z.W. Sun, many of them have been long standing conjectures.
The cyclic insertion conjecture of Borwein, Bradley, Broadhurst and Lison\v{e}k states that inserting all cyclic shifts of some fixed blocks of 2's into the multiple zeta value {\zeta}(1,3,...,1,3) gives an explicit rational multiple of a…
We explore the theory of multiple zeta values (MZVs) and some of their $q$-generalisations. Multiple zeta values are numerical quantities that satisfy several combinatorial relations over the rationals. These relations include two…
We prove two fast formulas for the Hurwitz values $\zeta(2,a)$ and $\zeta(3,a)$ respectively with the help of the WZ method. In them $(a)_n$ denotes the rising factorial or Pochhammer's symbol defined by $(a)_0=1$ and…
We show the recurrence relations of the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-function which describes the $r$-fold function with one variable specialized to a non-positive integer as a rational linear combination of $(r-1)$-fold functions, which…
We present a unified approach which gives completely elementary proofs of three weighted sum formulae for double zeta values. This approach also leads to new evaluations of sums relating to the harmonic numbers, the alternating double zeta…
In this article, we introduce an algebraic setup of non-strict multiple zeta values (NMZVs, for short) and prove some relations of NMZVs, which are analogous to Hoffman's relations of multiple zeta values, by using this algebraic setup of…
