We apply these results to show that the full sets of shuffle relations of polylogarithms and regularized MZVs are derived by a single series. We also take this approach to study the extended double shuffle relations of MZVs by comparing these shuffle relations with the quasi-shuffle relations of the regularized MZVs in our previous approach of MZVs by renormalization.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-10-05T17:28:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11M32", "16W99", "16W30" ], "keywords": [ "multiple zeta values", "free rota-baxter algebras", "shuffle relations", "polylogarithms", "regularized mzvs" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/s11425-010-4044-1", "journal": "Science in China A: Mathematics", "year": 2010, "month": "Jul", "volume": 53, "number": 9, "pages": 2239 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010ScChA..53.2239G" } } }
