Kuan-Lin-Yu's conjecture on zeta-like multizeta value families

Let q=pl>2q=p^l>2, let 1pmq1\leq p^m\leq q, let n>0n>0 and r2r\geq 2, and let NiN{0}N_i\in \mathbb{N}\cup\{0\} for 0in10\leq i\leq n-1 satisfy

1Niq1.1\leq \sum N_i\leq q-1.

If

(q1)(qnNiqi)pm(q1)qn1,(q-1)\left(q^n-\sum N_iq^i\right)\leq p^m(q-1)q^{n-1},

then the displayed multizeta value below is zeta-like. Kuan-Lin-Yu's conjecture. Suppose that q>2q>2. Then

ζA(qnNiqi,pm(q1)qn1,,pm(q1)qn+r3)\zeta_A\left(q^n-\sum N_iq^i,p^m(q-1)q^{n-1},\ldots,p^m(q-1)q^{n+r-3}\right)

is zeta-like. In particular,

ζA(1,pm(q1),pmq(q1),,pmqr2(q1))\zeta_A\left(1,p^m(q-1),p^mq(q-1),\ldots,p^mq^{r-2}(q-1)\right)

is zeta-like. In depth r=3r=3, one additionally has

ζA(1,q(q1),q3q2+q1)=[3]1[3][2][1]q2q1ζA(q3).\zeta_A\left(1,q(q-1),q^3-q^2+q-1\right)=\frac{[3]-1}{[3][2][1]^{q^2-q-1}}\zeta_A(q^3).

These are conjectural families of zeta-like multizeta values arising from computer experiments based on the Chang-Papanikolas-Yu criterion. The source gives no resolution status for this conjecture; the surrounding discussion presents it as a further conjecture, while the earlier related conjecture is noted to be proved in depth 22.
