Abstract

For positive integers p1,p2,,pk,qp_1,p_2,\ldots,p_k,q with q>1q>1, we define the Euler TT-sum Tp1p2pk,qT_{p_1p_2\cdots p_k,q} as the sum of those terms of the usual infinite series for the classical Euler sum Sp1p2pk,qS_{p_1p_2\cdots p_k,q} with odd denominators. Like the Euler sums, the Euler TT-sums can be evaluated according to the Contour integral and residue theorem. Using this fact, we obtain explicit formulas for Euler TT-sums with repeated arguments analogous to those known for Euler sums. Euler TT-sums can be written as rational linear combinations of the Hoffman tt-values. Using known results for Hoffman tt-values, we obtain some examples of Euler TT-sums in terms of (alternating) multiple zeta values. Moreover, we prove an explicit formula of triple tt-values in terms of zeta values, double zeta values and double tt-values. We also define alternating Euler TT-sums and prove some results about them by the Contour integral and residue theorem. Furthermore, we define another Euler type TT-sums and find many interesting results. In particular, we give an explicit formulas of triple Kaneko-Tsumura TT-values of even weight in terms of single and the double TT-values. Finally, we prove a duality formula of Kaneko-Tsumura's conjecture.
