Multiple zeta values are real numbers defined by an infinite series generalizing values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. Finite truncations of this series are called multiple harmonic sums and are known to have interesting…

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.

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…

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…
