We consider the problem of approximating a semialgebraic set with a sublevel-set of a polynomial function. In this setting, it is standard to seek a minimum volume outer approximation and/or maximum volume inner approximation. As there is…

In this paper, we explain several conjectures about how a product of two Carlitz-Goss zeta values can be expressed as a F_p-linear combination of Thakur's multizeta values, generalizing the q=2 case dealt by D. Thakur in Relations between…

We consider nested sums involving the Pochhammer symbol at infinity and rewrite them in terms of a small set of constants, such as powers of $\pi,$ $\log(2)$ or zeta values. In order to perform these simplifications, we view the series as…

We prove a new linear relation for multiple zeta values. This is a natural generalization of the restricted sum formula proved by Eie, Liaw and Ong. We also present an analogous result for finite multiple zeta values.

In this talk, we discuss recent progress in the application of generalizations of polylogarithms in the symbolic computation of multi-loop integrals. We briefly review the Maple program MPL which supports a certain approach for the…

We give an explicit formula for the shuffle relation in a general double shuffle framework that specializes to double shuffle relations of multiple zeta values and multiple polylogarithms. As an application, we generalize the well-known…

We consider a class of sums over products of Z-sums whose arguments differ by a symbolic integer. Such sums appear, for instance, in the expansion of Gauss hypergeometric functions around integer indices that depend on a symbolic parameter.…

We introduce the Z-polynomial of a matroid, which we define in terms of the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial. We then exploit a symmetry of the Z-polynomial to derive a new recursion for Kazhdan-Lusztig coefficients. We solve this recursion,…

We study rather general multiple zeta-functions whose denominators are given by polynomials. The main aim is to prove explicit formulas for the values of those multiple zeta-functions at non-positive integer points. We first treat the case…

Let $T$ be the triangle with vertices (1,0), (0,1), (1,1). We study certain integrals over $T$, one of which was computed by Euler. We give expressions for them both as a linear combination of multiple zeta values, and as a polynomial in…

Summation by parts is used to find the sum of a finite series of generalized harmonic numbers involving a specific polynomial or rational function. The Euler-Maclaurin formula for sums of powers is used to find the sums of some finite…

In this paper, we give a formula that connects two variants of multiple zeta values; multitangent functions and symmetric multiple zeta values. As an application of this formula, we give two results. First, we prove Bouillot's conjecture on…

One can associate to any bivariate polynomial P(X,Y) its Newton polygon. This is the convex hull of the points (i,j) such that the monomial X^i Y^j appears in P with a nonzero coefficient. We conjecture that when P is expressed as a sum of…

We generalize Sylvester single sums to multisets (sets with repeated elements), and show that these sums compute subresultants of two univariate polyomials as a function of their roots independently of their multiplicity structure. This is…

We prove and generalize some recent conjectures of Z.-W. Sun on infinite series whose summands involve products of harmonic numbers and several binomial coefficients. We evaluate various classes of infinite sums in closed form by…

We give explicit evaluations of the linear and non-linear Euler sums of hyperharmonic numbers $h_{n}^{\left( r\right) }$ with reciprocal binomial coefficients. These evaluations enable us to extend closed form formula of Euler sums of…

We show a sum formula of certain multiple L-values conjectured by Essouabri-Matsumoto-Tsumura, which generalizes the sum formula of multiple zeta-values. The proof relies on the method of partial fraction decomposition.

In this paper, we study the weighted sums of multiple t-values and of multiple t-star values at even arguments. Some general weighted sum formulas are given, where the weight coefficients are given by (symmetric) polynomials of the…
