Abstract
In this paper we construct a polynomial basis for the stuffle algebra over a field of characteristic . As an application we derive the transcendence degree for multiple zeta values in positive characteristic of small weights. To our knowledge, the only known result is the case of weight 2 which was proved by Mishiba using a completely different approach.
