A class of relations among multiple zeta values
Abstract
Description
We prove a new class of relations among multiple zeta values (MZV's) which contains Ohno's relation. We also give the formula for the maximal number of independent MZV's of fixed weight, under our new relations. To derive our formula for MZV's we consider the Newton series whose values at non-negative integers are finite multiple harmonic sums.
