The triple multiple TT-value sum formula

About 7 years old · traced to

Let T(a,b,c)T(a,b,c) denote the multiple TT-value of indices (a,b,c)(a,b,c), and let T(k)T(k) denote the single TT-value of weight kk. For k≥4k\geq 4, the indices satisfy a+b+c=ka+b+c=k, with a,b≥1a,b\geq 1 and c≥2c\geq 2. The triple TT-value sum conjecture.

∑a+b+c=ka,b≥1, c≥22b(3c−1−1)T(a,b,c)=23(k−1)(k−2)T(k).\sum_{a+b+c=k \atop a,b\geq 1,\ c\geq 2}2^b(3^{c-1}-1)T(a,b,c)=\frac{2}{3}(k-1)(k-2)T(k).

This is proposed as an analogue of Machide's formula for ordinary multiple zeta values.
