Multiple elliptic polylogarithms can be written as (multiple) integrals of products of basic hypergeometric functions. The latter are computable, to arbitrary precision, using a q-difference equation and q-contiguous relations.

Polynomial functions on the group of units Q_n of the ring Z_{2^n} are considered. A finite set of reduced polynomials RP_n in Z[x] that induces the polynomial functions on Q_n is determined. Each polynomial function on Q_n is induced by a…
Any homogeneous polynomial $P(x, y, z)$ of degree $d$, being restricted to a unit sphere $S^2$, admits essentially a unique representation of the form $\lambda_0 + \sum_{k = 1}^d \lambda_k [\prod_{j = 1}^k L_{kj}]$, where $L_{kj}$'s are…
We evaluate multiple polylogarithm values at sixth roots of unity up to weight six, i.e. of the form $G(a_1,\ldots,a_w;1)$ where the indices $a_i$ are equal to zero or a sixth root of unity, with $a_1\neq 1$. For $w\leq 6$, we present bases…
