We introduce finite and symmetric Mordell-Tornheim type of multiple zeta values and give a new approach to the Kaneko-Zagier conjecture stating that the finite and symmetric multiple zeta values satisfy the same relations.
In this paper, we construct certain analogues of the Arakawa-Kaneko zeta functions. We prove functional relations between these functions and the Mordell-Tornheim multiple zeta functions. Furthermore we give some formulas among Mordell-Tornheim multiple zeta values as their applications.
We introduce the unified double zeta function of Mordell--Tornheim type and compute its values at non-positive integer points. We then discuss a possible generalization of the Kaneko--Zagier conjecture for all integer points.
We investigate a relation between the Mordell-Tornheim type of multiple Dirichlet series and a confluent hypergeometric function. We prove it by applying the Mellin-Barnes integral formula. Also, main results in this paper contain two kinds of functional equations for double $L$-functions as a special case.
In this paper, we shall show that certain signed cyclic sums of Mordell-Tornheim L-values are rational linear combinations of products of multiple L-values of lower depths (i.e., reducible). This simultaneously generalizes some results of Subbarao and Sitaramachandrarao, and Matsumoto et al. As a direct corollary, we can prove that for any integer k>2 and positive integer n, the Mordell-Tornheim sums zeta_\MT(\{n\}_k) is reducible.
We prove that any Mordell-Tornheim sum with positive integer arguments can be expressed as a rational linear combination of multiple zeta values of the same weight and depth. By a result of Tsumura, it follows that any Mordell-Tornheim sum with weight and depth of opposite parity can be expressed as a rational linear combination of products of multiple zeta values of lower depth.
Analytic properties of three types of multiple zeta functions, that is, the Euler-Zagier type, the Mordell-Tornheim type and the Apostol-Vu type have been studied by a lot of authors. In particular, in the study of multiple zeta functions of the Apostol-Vu type, a generalized multiple zeta function, including both the Euler-Zagier type and the Apostol-Vu type, was introduced.In this paper, similarly we consider generalized multiple zeta-functions and $ L $-functions, which include both the Euler-Zagier type and the Mordell-Tornheim type as special cases.We prove the meromorphic continuation to…

We give new proofs of two functional relations for the alternating analogues of Tornheim's double zeta function. Using the functional relations, we give new proofs of some evaluation formulas found by H. Tsumura for these alternating series.
In this paper, we generalize the partial fraction decomposition which is fundamental in the theory of multiple zeta values, and prove a relation between Tornheim's double zeta functions of three complex variables. As applications, we give new integral representations of several zeta functions, an extension of the parity result to the whole domain of convergence, concrete expressions of Tornheim's double zeta function at non-positive integers and some results for the behavior of a certain Witten's zeta function at each integer. As an appendix, we show a functional equation for Euler's double ze…
In this paper, we give a simple proof of the functional relation for the Lerch type Tornheim double zeta function. By using it, we obtain simple proofs of some explicit evaluation formulas for double $L$-values.
For the Tornheim double zeta function T(s1,s2,s3) of complex variables,we obtain its functional equations,which are new.Using the calculus of r-th order derivative of zeta(s,alpha) as a function of alpha(developed in author[7])as the tool,we obtain with ease an expression for T(s,s,s) for any complex s;and evaluate T(n,n,n) for any integer n>=1;and also evaluate T(n1,0,n2)for integers n1,n2>1 with n1+n2 odd.We obtain for Tornheim zeta function,the counterparts of Euler's formula for zeta(2n)and its analogue for zeta(2n+1),where Zeta(s) is Riemann zeta function.
Explicit evaluations of the Tornheim-like double series in the form \[ \sum_{n,m=1}^\infty \frac{H_{n+m+s}}{nm\left( n+m+s \right)},\ s\in \mathbb{N\cup } \left\{ 0 \right\} \] and their extensions are given. Furthermore, series of the type \[ \sum_{m=1}^\infty \frac{2H_{2m+1}-H_{m}}{2m\left( 2m+1 \right)} \] and some other Tornheim-like multiple series are evaluated in terms of the zeta values.
In the present paper, for $s,t,u \in {\mathbb{C}}$, we show rapidly (or globally) convergent series representations of the Tornheim double zeta function $T(s,t,u)$ and (desingularized) symmetric Tornheim double zeta functions. As a corollary, we give a new a proof of known results on the values of $T(s,s,s)$ at non-positive integers and the location of the poles of $T(s,s,s)$. Furthermore, we prove that the function $T(s,s,s)$ can not be written by a polynomial in the form of $\sum_{k=1}^j c_k \prod_{r=1}^q ζ^{d_{kr}} (a_{kr} s + b_{kr})$, where $a_{kr}, b_{kr}, c_k \in {\mathbb{C}}$ and $d_{k…
We show that each member of a doubly infinite sequence of highly nonlinear expressions of Bernoulli polynomials, which can be seen as linear combinations of certain higher-order convolutions, is a multiple of a specific product of linear factors. The special case of Bernoulli numbers has important applications in the study of multiple Tornheim zeta functions. The proof of the main result relies on properties of Eulerian polynomials and higher-order Bernoulli polynomials.
We examine values of certain Tornheim's type of double series with odd weight. As a result, an affirmative answer to a conjecture about the parity theorem for the zeta function of the root system of the exceptional Lie algebra $G_2$, proposed by Komori, Matsumoto and Tsumura, is given.
We provide an explicit formula for the Tornheim double series T(a,0,c) in terms of an integral involving the Hurwitz zeta function. For integer values of the parameters, a=m, c=n, we show that in the most interesting case of even weight N:=m+n the Tornheim sum T(m,0,n) can be expressed in terms of zeta values and the family of integrals % \int_0^1 loggamma(q) B_{k}(q) Cl_{j+1} (2 πq) dq, % with k+j = N, where B_{k}(q) is a Bernoulli polynomial and \Cl_{j+1}(x) is a Clausen function.
In this paper, we discuss the parity result for multiple Dirichlet series which contains some special values of multiple zeta functions as special cases, Mordell--Tornheim type of multiple zeta values, zeta values of the root systems and so on. Moreover, we can give explicit expression in terms of lower series by using main theorem.
T. Ito defined an analog of the Arakawa-Kaneko zeta function to obtain relations among Mordell-Tornheim multiple zeta values. In this paper, we develop two things related to an analog of the Arakawa-Kaneko zeta function. One is to find an analog of the Arakawa-Kaneko zeta function of Miyagawa-type (defined by T. Miyagawa) and to obtain a relation among Miyagawa-type MZVs. The other is to find a class of zeta functions to which Ito's zeta functions of the case of general index are related.
In this short note, we provide an explicit formula to compute every colored double Tornheim's series by using double polylogarithm values at roots of unity. When the colors are given by $\pm 1$ our formula is different from that of Tsumura [On alternating analogues of Tornheim's double series II, Ramanujan J. 18 (2009), 81-90] even though numerical data confirm both are correct in almost all the cases. This agreement can also be checked rigorously by using regularized double shuffle relations of the alternating double zeta values in weights less than eight.
We define finite multiple zeta values (FMZVs) associated with some combinatorial objects, which we call 2-colored rooted trees, and prove that FMZVs associated with 2-colored rooted trees satisfying certain mild assumptions can be written explicitly as $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combinations of the usual FMZVs. Our result can be regarded as a generalization of Kamano's recent work on finite Mordell-Tornheim multiple zeta values. As an application, we will give a new proof of the shuffle relation of FMZVs, which was first proved by Kaneko and Zagier.
In the study of order estimation of the Riemann zeta-function $ ζ(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-s} $, solving Lindelöf hypothesis is an important theme. As one of the relationships, asymptotic behavior of mean values has been studied. Furthermore, the theory of the mean values is also noted in the double zeta-functions, and the mean values of the Euler-Zagier type of double zeta-function and Mordell-Tornheim type of double zeta-function were studied. In this paper, we prove asymptotic formulas for mean square values of the Barnes double zeta-function $ ζ_2 (s, α; v, w ) = \sum_{m=0}^\infty \sum_{…
We study a refinement of the symmetric multiple zeta value, called the $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta value, by considering its finite truncation. More precisely, two kinds of regularizations (harmonic and shuffle) give two kinds of the $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta values, thus we introduce two kinds of truncations correspondingly. Then we show that our truncations tend to the corresponding $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta values, and satisfy the harmonic and shuffle relations, respectively. This gives a new proof of the double shuffle relations for $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta value…
We study analytic properties of multiple zeta-functions of generalized Hurwitz-Lerch type. First, as a special type of them, we consider multiple zeta-functions of generalized Euler-Zagier-Lerch type and investigate their analytic properties which were already announced in our previous paper. Next we give `desingularization' of multiple zeta-functions of generalized Hurwitz-Lerch type, which include those of generalized Euler-Zagier-Lerch type, the Mordell-Tornheim type, and so on. As a result, the desingularized multiple zeta-function turns out to be an entire function and can be expressed as…
The algebra of big zeta values we introduce in this paper is an intermediate object between multiple zeta values and periods of the multiple zeta motive. It consists of number series generalizing multiple zeta values, the simplest examples, which are not multiple zeta series, are Tornheim sums. We show that convergent big zeta values are periods of the moduli space of stable curves of genus zero on one hand and multiple zeta values on the other hand. It gives an alternative way to prove that any such period may be expressed as a rational linear combination of multiple zeta values and a simple …
In this paper, we show that any polynomial of zeta or $L$-functions with some conditions has infinitely many complex zeros off the critical line. This general result has abundant applications. By using the main result, we prove that the zeta-functions associated to symmetric matrices treated by Ibukiyama and Saito, certain spectral zeta-functions and the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-functions have infinitely many complex zeros off the critical line. Moreover, we show that the Lindelöf hypothesis for the Riemann zeta-function is equivalent to the Lindelöf hypothesis for zeta-functions mentioned a…
