By application of the Markov-WZ method, we prove a more general form of a bivariate generating function identity containing, as particular cases, Koecher's and Almkvist-Granville's Ap\'ery-like formulae for odd zeta values. As a…

We consider the symmetric multiple zeta values in $\mathcal{S}_m$ without modulo $\pi^2$ reduction for indices in which $1$ and $3$ appear alternately. We investigate those values that can be expressed as a polynomial of the Riemann zeta…

We demonstrate that certain class of infinite sums can be calculated analytically starting from a specific quantum mechanical problem and using principles of quantum mechanics. For simplicity we illustrate the method by exploring the…

We establish a new class of relations among the multiple zeta values \zeta(k_1,k_2,...,k_n), which we call the cyclic sum identities. These identities have an elementary proof, and imply the "sum theorem" for multiple zeta values. They also…
