Families of weighted sum formulas for multiple zeta values

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.Comment: The conjecture at the end is reformulate

Note on Legendre numbers

The definition and basic properties of Legendre Numbers are reviewed here. We then develop some new properties and identities involving sums of Legendre Numbers, including clarification of a statement in the paper of Haggard [1]

Thirty-two Goldbach Variations

We give thirty-two diverse proofs of a small mathematical gem--the fundamental Euler sum identity zeta(2,1)=zeta(3) =8zeta(\bar 2,1). We also discuss various generalizations for multiple harmonic (Euler) sums and some of their many connections, thereby illustrating both the wide variety of techniques fruitfully used to study such sums and the attraction of their study.Comment: v1: 34 pages AMSLaTeX. v2: 41 pages AMSLaTeX. New introductory material added and material on inequalities, Hilbert matrix and Witten zeta functions. Errors in the second section on Complex Line Integrals are corrected.

Special Functions Related to Dedekind Type DC-Sums and their Applications

In this paper we construct trigonometric functions of the sum T_{p}(h,k), which is called Dedekind type DC-(Dahee and Changhee) sums. We establish analytic properties of this sum. We find trigonometric representations of this sum. We prove reciprocity theorem of this sums. Furthermore, we obtain relations between the Clausen functions, Polylogarithm function, Hurwitz zeta function, generalized Lambert series (G-series), Hardy-Berndt sums and the sum T_{p}(h,k). We also give some applications related to these sums and functions
