Abstract

Let s1,,sd be d positive integers and define the multiple t-values of depth d by

t(s1,,sd)=n1>>nd11(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 dn, 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 d5 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).
