EXPLICIT RELATIONS BETWEEN KANEKO-YAMAMOTO TYPE MULTIPLE ZETA VALUES AND RELATED VARIANTS

In this paper we first establish several integral identities. These integrals are of the form \[\int_0^1 x^{an+b} f(x)\,dx\quad (a\in\{1,2\},\ b\in\{-1,-2\})\] where $f(x)$ is a single-variable multiple polylogarithm function or $r$-variable multiple polylogarithm function or Kaneko--Tsumura A-function (this is a single-variable multiple polylogarithm function of level two). We find that these integrals can be expressed in terms of multiple zeta (star) values and their related variants (multiple $t$-values, multiple $T$-values, multiple $S$-values etc.), and multiple harmonic (star) sums and their related variants (multiple $T$-harmonic sums, multiple $S$-harmonic sums etc.). Using these integral identities, we prove many explicit evaluations of Kaneko--Yamamoto multiple zeta values and their related variants. Further, we derive some relations involving multiple zeta (star) values and their related variants.
