Sum Formula Of Multiple Hurwitz-Zeta Values, Jianqiang Zhao Feb 2013

Sum Formula Of Multiple Hurwitz-Zeta Values, Jianqiang Zhao

Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

Let s1,⋯,sd be d positive integers and define the multiple t-values of depth d byt(s1,⋯,sd)=∑n1>⋯>nd≥11(2n1−1)s1⋯(2nd−1)sd,which is equal to the multiple Hurwitz-zeta value 2−wζ(s1,⋯,sd;−12,⋯,−12) where w=s1+⋯+sd is called the weight. For d≤n, let T(2n,d) be the sum of all multiple t-values with even arguments whose weight is 2n and whose depth is d. In 2011, Shen and Cai gave formulas for T(2n,d) for d≤5 in terms of t(2n), t(2)t(2n−2) and t(4)t(2n−4). In this short note we generalize their results to arbitrary depth by using the theory of symmetric functions established by Hoffman (2012).

On Q-Analogs Of Wostenholme Type Congruences For Multiple Harmonic Sums, Jianqiang Zhao

Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

Multiple harmonic sums are iterated generalizations of harmonic sums. Recently Dilcher has considered congruences involving q-analogs of these sums in depth one. In this paper we shall study the homogeneous case for arbitrary depth by using generating functions and shuffle relations of the q-analog of multiple harmonic sums. At the end, we also consider some non-homogeneous cases.
