We prove a sum formula with 4 parameters among finite alternating multiple zeta values which can be regarded as an alternating version of the result of Kamano on finite multiple zeta values.
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 give the integer parts of reciprocals of tails of the alternating Riemann zeta function at $s=1,2,3,4$ by using several new inequalities and elementary method.
The paper describes a method for calculating values of Riemann's Zeta function within the critical strip 0< σ <1 and on its boundary. The approach is based on the "Alternating Zeta function" η(s). The actual Riemann Zeta function ζ(s) is easily obtained from η(s). The obtained accuracy, within certain limits of the described method is discussed. A decent scientific calculator suffices to carry out the involved computations.
Alternating variants of multiple poly-Bernoulli numbers and finite multiple zeta values in characteristic 0 and p This paper consists of two parts: the characteristic 0 part and the characteristic p part. In characteristic 0 part, we introduce an alternating extension of multiple poly-Bernoulli numbers of K. Imatomi, M. Kaneko and E. Takeda and obtain explicit presentations of the alternating finite multiple zeta values introduced by J. Zhao in term of the alternating extension of multiple poly-Bernoulli numbers. In characteristic p part, we introduce positive characteristic analogues of alter…
In this paper, we study some Euler-Apéry-type series which involve central binomial coefficients and (generalized) harmonic numbers. In particular, we establish elegant explicit formulas of some series by iterated integrals and alternating multiple zeta values. Based on these formulas, we further show that some other series are reducible to ln(2), zeta values, and alternating multiple zeta values by considering the contour integrals related to gamma functions, polygamma functions and trigonometric functions. The evaluations of a large number of special Euler-Apéry-type series are presented as …
As well known, the study of Riemanns zeta function ζ(s) involves the related entire function ξ(s). A close relative of ζ(s) is the alternating zeta function η(s). Similar to ζ(s), also η(s) has a corresponding entire function ξ_a (s). After establishing its definition and a related functional equation, formulas based on incomplete gamma functions are worked out, allowing to numerically evaluate ξ_a (s). Examples verifying the obtained formulas are included.
The alternating zeta function zeta*(s) = 1 - 2^{-s} + 3^{-s} - ... is related to the Riemann zeta function by the identity (1-2^{1-s})zeta(s) = zeta*(s). We deduce the vanishing of zeta*(s) at each nonreal zero of the factor 1-2^{1-s} without using the identity. Instead, we use a formula connecting the partial sums of the series for zeta*(s) to Riemann sums for the integral of x^{-s} from x=1 to x=2. We relate the proof to our earlier paper "The Riemann Hypothesis, simple zeros, and the asymptotic convergence degree of improper Riemann sums," Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 126 (1998) 1311-1314.
In this paper we consider iterated integrals of multiple polylogarithm functions and prove some explicit relations of multiple polylogarithm functions. Then we apply the relations obtained to find numerous formulas of alternating multiple zeta values in terms of unit-exponent alternating multiple zeta values. In particular, we prove several conjectures given by Borwein-Bradley-Broadhurst \cite{BBBL1997}, and give some general results. Furthermore, we discuss Kaneko-Yamamoto multiple zeta values, and establish some relations between it and multiple zeta values. Finally, we establish a linear re…
By using the method of iterated integral representations of series, we establish some explicit relationships between multiple zeta values and Integrals of logarithmic functions. As applications of these relations, we show that multiple zeta values of the form \[ζ( {\bar 1,{\left\{ 1 \right\}_{m - 1}},\bar 1,{\left\{ 1 \right\}_{k - 1}}} ),\ (k,m\in \mathbb{N})\] for $m=1$ or $k=1$, and \[ζ( {\bar 1,{\left\{ 1 \right\}_{m - 1}},p,{\left\{ 1 \right\}_{k - 1}}}),\ (k,m\in\mathbb{N})\] for $p=1$ and $2$, satisfy certain recurrence relations which allow us to write them in terms of zeta values, pol…
We obtain a weighted sum formula of the zeta values at even arguments, and a weighted sum formula of the multiple zeta values with even arguments and its zeta-star analogue. The weight coefficients are given by (symmetric) polynomials of the arguments. These weighted sum formulas for the zeta values and for the multiple zeta values were conjectured by L. Guo, P. Lei and J. Zhao.
A typical formula of multiple zeta values is the sum formula which expresses a Riemann zeta value as a sum of all multiple zeta values of fixed weight and depth. Recently weighted sum formulas, which are weighted analogues of the sum formula, have been studied by many people. In this paper, we give two formulas of weighted sums with two parameters of multiple zeta values. As applications of the formulas, we find some linear combinations of multiple zeta values which can be expressed as polynomials of usual zeta values with coeffcients in the rational polynomial ring generated by the two parame…
Hirose, Saito, and the author established the weighted sum formula for finite multiple zeta(-star) values. In this paper, we present its alternative proof. The proof is also valid for symmetric multiple zeta(-star) values.
Flajolet and Salvy pointed out that every Euler sum is a $\mathbb{Q}$-linear combination of multiple zeta values. However, in the literature, there is no formula completely revealing this relation. In this paper, using permutations and compositions, we establish two explicit formulas for the Euler sums, and show that all the Euler sums are indeed expressible in terms of MZVs. Moreover, we apply this method to the alternating Euler sums, and show that all the alternating Euler sums are reducible to alternating MZVs. Some famous results, such as the Euler theorem, the Borwein--Borwein--Girgensoh…
We present a unified approach which gives completely elementary proofs of three weighted sum formulae for double zeta values. This approach also leads to new evaluations of sums relating to the harmonic numbers, the alternating double zeta values, and the Witten zeta function. We discuss a heuristic for finding or dismissing the existence of similar simple sums. We also produce some new sums from recursions involving the Riemann zeta and the Dirichlet beta functions.
We solve problem 11585 proposed by B. Burdick, AMM June-July 2011 {\bf 118} (6), p. 558 for the sum of certain products of Riemann zeta function values. We further point out an alternating sum analog, and then present and prove different alternating sum analogs. In addition, we present summation by parts and other results for the Hurwitz and Riemann zeta functions and for the digamma and trigamma functions.
The alternating multiple harmonic sums are partial sums of the infinite series defining the Euler sums which are the alternating version of the multiple zeta value series. In this paper, we present some systematic structural results of the van Hamme type congruences of these sums, collected as finite Euler sums. Moreover, we relate this to the structure of the Euler sums, which generalizes the corresponding result of the multiple zeta values. We also provide a few conjectures with extensive numerical support.
In this paper, we construct the alternating multiple q-zeta function(= Multiple Euler q-zeta function) and investigate their properties. Finally, we give some interesting functional eauations related to q-Euler polynomials.
In this note we shall study the Witten multiple zeta function associated to the Lie algebra so(5) defined by Matsumoto. Our main result shows that its special values at nonnegative integers are always expressible by alternating Euler sums. More precisely, every such special value of weight w>2 is a finite rational linear combination of alternating Euler sums of weight w and depth at most two, except when the only nonzero argument is one of the two last variables in which case $ζ(w-1)$ is needed.
Euler's sum formula and its multi-variable and weighted generalizations form a large class of the identities of multiple zeta values. In this paper we prove a family of identities involving Bernoulli numbers and apply them to obtain infinitely many weighted sum formulas for double zeta values and triple zeta values where the weight coefficients are given by symmetric polynomials. We give a general conjecture in arbitrary depth at the end of the paper.
In this paper we use the generating functions and the double shuffle relations satisfied the multiple zeta values to derive some new families of identities.
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 arithmetic properties. When the truncation point is one less than a prime $p$, the mod $p$ values of multiple harmonic sums are called finite multiple zeta values. The present work introduces a new class of congruence for multiple harmonic sums, which we call weighted congruences. These congruences can hold modulo arbitrarily large powers of $p$. Unlike res…
The cyclic insertion conjecture of Borwein, Bradley, Broadhurst and Lisoněk states that by inserting all cyclic permutations of some initial blocks of 2's into the multiple zeta value $ ζ(1,3,\ldots,1,3) $ and summing, one obtains an explicit rational multiple of a power of $ π$. Hoffman gives a conjectural identity of a similar flavour concerning $ 2 ζ(3,3,\{2\}^m) - ζ(3,\{2\}^m,(1,2)) $. In this paper we introduce the 'generalised cyclic insertion conjecture', which we describe using a new combinatorial structure on iterated integrals -- the so-called alternating block decomposition. We see …
Spectra of real alternating operators seem to be quite interesting from the view point of explaining the Riemann Hypothesis for various zeta functions. Unfortunately we have not sufficient experiments concerning this theme. Necessary works would be to supply new examples of spectra related to zeros and poles of zeta functions. A century ago Hilbert (1907) considered a kind of operators representing quadratic forms of infinitely many variables. Demonstrating the calculation of spectra for alternating Hilbert operators we hope to present a novel scheme in this paper. Authors expect this study en…
In this note we prove that for all $a \in \mathbb{N}$, $x \in \mathbb{R}_+ \cup \{0\}$, and $s \in \mathbb{C}$ with $\Re(s) > a + 2$, the (alternating) weighted series of the Hurwitz zeta function, $$ \sum_{k \geq 1} (\pm 1)^k (k + x)^aζ(s,k + x), $$ resolves into a finite combination of Hurwitz (Lerch) zeta functions. This applies in Marichal and Zenaïdi's theory on analogues of the Bohr-Mollerup theorem for higher-order convex functions.
The explicit formulas expressing harmonic sums via alternating Euler sums (colored multiple zeta values) are given, and some explicit evaluations are given as applications.
In this paper we present a new family of identities for multiple harmonic sums which generalize a recent result of Hessami Pilehrood et al. We then apply it to obtain a family of identities relating multiple zeta star values to alternating Euler sums. In such a typical identity the entries of the multiple zeta star values consist of blocks of arbitrarily long 2-strings separated by positive integers greater than two while the largest depth of the alternating Euler sums depends only on the number of 2-string blocks but not on their lengths.
In 1998, Borwein, Bradley, Broadhurst and Lisoněk posed two families of conjectural identities among multiple zeta values, later generalized by Charlton using his alternating block notation. In this paper, we prove a new class of identities among multiple zeta values that simultaneously resolve and generalize these conjectures.
We define a parametric variant of generalized Euler sums and construct contour integration to give some explicit evaluations of these parametric Euler sums. In particular, we establish several explicit formulas of (Hurwitz) zeta functions, linear and quadratic parametric Euler sums. Furthermore, we also give an explicit evaluation of alternating double zeta values $\ze(\overline{2j},2m+1)$ in terms of a combination of alternating Riemann zeta values by using the parametric Euler sums.
Multiple zeta values (MZVs) are real numbers which are defined by certain multiple series. Recently, many people have researched for relations among them and many relations are well known. In this paper, we get a new relation among them which is a generalization of a formula obtained by Eie, Liaw and Ong, and has four parameters. Moreover, by using similar method, we also obtain a relation which has six parameters.
One-level density of zeros of the Riemann zeta function weighted by its special values

We prove a central limit theorem for $\log|ζ(1/2+it)|$ with respect to the measure $|ζ^{(m)}(1/2+it)|^{2k}dt$ ($k,m\in\mathbb N$), assuming RH and the asymptotic formula for twisted and shifted integral moments of zeta. Under the same hypotheses, we also study a shifted case, looking at the measure $|ζ(1/2+it+iα)|^{2k}dt$, with $α\in(-1,1)$. Finally we prove unconditionally the analogue result in the random matrix theory context.
We compute the one-level density of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function weighted by $|ζ(\frac12+it)|^{2k}$ for $k=1$ and, for test functions with Fourier support in $(-\frac12,\frac12)$, for $k=2$. As a consequence, for $k=1,2$, we deduce under the Riemann hypothesis that $T(\log T)^{1-k^2+o(1)}$ non-trivial zeros of $ζ$, of imaginary parts up to $T$, are such that $ζ$ attains a value of size $(\log T)^{k+o(1)}$ at a point which is within $O(1/\log T)$ from the zero.
We study a variant of multiple zeta values of level 2, which forms a subspace of the space of alternating multiple zeta values. This variant, which is regarded as the `shuffle counterpart' of Hoffman's `odd variant', exhibits nice properties such as duality, shuffle product, parity results, etc., like ordinary multiple zeta values. We also give some conjectures on relations between our values, Hoffman's values, and multiple zeta values.
In this paper, we study the multiple $L$-values and the multiple zeta values of level $N$. We set up the algebraic framework for the double shuffle relations of the multiple zeta values of level $N$. Using the regularized double shuffle relations of multiple $L$-values, we give a sum formula and a weighted sum formula of multiple $L$-values. As applications, we give sum formulas and weighted sum formulas of double zeta values of level $2$ and $3$.
The theory of Ihara zeta functions is extended to infinite graphs which are weighted and of finite total weight. In this case one gets meromorphic instead of rational functions and the classical determinant formulas of Bass and Ihara hold true with Fredholm determinants.
Recently, a new kind of multiple zeta value level two $T({\bf k})$ (which is called multiple $T$-values) was introduced and studied by Kaneko and Tsumura. In this paper, we define a kind of alternating version of multiple $T$-values, and study several duality formulas of weighted sum formulas about alternating multiple $T$-values by using the methods of iterated integral representations and series representations. Some special values of alternating multiple $T$-values can also be obtained.
The sum formula is a basic identity of multiple zeta values that expresses a Riemann zeta value as a homogeneous sum of multiple zeta values of a given dimension. This formula was already known to Euler in the dimension two case, conjectured in the early 1990s for higher dimensions and then proved by Granville and Zagier independently. Recently a weighted form of Euler's formula was obtained by Ohno and Zudilin. We generalize it to a weighted sum formula for multiple zeta values of all dimensions.
In this paper we prove a weighted sum formula for multiple harmonic sums modulo primes, thereby proving a weighted sum formula for finite multiple zeta values. Our proof utilizes difference equations for the generating series of multiple harmonic sums. We also conjecture several weighted sum formulas of similar flavor for finite multiple zeta values.
Dating back to Euler, in classical analysis and number theory, the Hurwitz zeta function $$ ζ(z,q)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(n+q)^{z}}, $$ the Riemann zeta function $ζ(z)$, the generalized Stieltjes constants $γ_k(q)$, the Euler constant $γ$, Euler's gamma function $Γ(q)$ and the digamma function $ψ(q)$ have many close connections on their definitions and properties. There are also many integrals, series or infinite product representations of them along the history. In this note, we try to provide a parallel story for the alternating Hurwitz zeta function (also known as the Hurwitz-type Eul…
Let $X_{0}=\mathbb{P}^{1} - (\{0,\infty\} \cup μ_{N})\text{ }/\text{ }\mathbb{F}_{q}$, with $N \in \mathbb{N}^{\ast}$ and $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ of characteristic $p>0$ and containing a primitive $N$-th root of unity. We establish an explicit theory of the crystalline pro-unipotent fundamental groupoid of $X_{0}$. In part I, we have computed explicitly the Frobenius, and in particular cyclotomic $p$-adic multiple zeta values. In part II, we use part I to understand the algebraic relations of cyclotomic $p$-adic multiple zeta values via explicit formulas ; this is in particular a study of the harmoni…
We study three special Dirichlet series, two of them alternating, related to the Riemann zeta function. These series are shown to have extensions to the entire complex plane and we find their values at the negative integers (or residues at poles). These values are given in terms of Bernoulli and Euler numbers.
Koecher in 1980 derived a method for obtaining identities for the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers, including a classical result for $ζ(3)$ due to Markov and rediscovered by Apéry. In this paper we extend Koecher's method to a very general setting and prove two more specific but still rather general results. As applications we obtain infinite classes of identities for alternating Euler sums, further Markov-Apéry type identities, and identities for even powers of $π$
For positive integers $i_1,...,i_k$ with $i_1 > 1$, we define the multiple $t$-value $t(i_1,...,i_k)$ as the sum of those terms in the usual infinite series for the multiple zeta value $ζ(i_1,...,i_k)$ with odd denominators. Like the multiple zeta values, the multiple $t$-values can be multiplied according to the rules of the harmonic algebra. Using this fact, we obtain explicit formulas for multiple $t$-values of repeated arguments analogous to those known for multiple zeta values. Multiple $t$-values can be written as rational linear combinations of the alternating or "colored" multiple zeta…
