Mordell-Tornheim multiple zeta-functions, their integral analogues, and relations among multiple polylogarithms

We study the asymptotic behavior of a multiple series of Mordell-Tornheim type and its integral analogue at x=0. Our approach is to show a relation between the multiple series and its integral analogue by using Abel’s summation formula, and to deeply investigate the behavior of the integral analogue. Additionally, we establish some nontrivial relations among multiple polylogarithms by comparing two seemingly different asymptotic formulas for the integral analogue.

💡 Research Summary

The paper investigates the asymptotic behavior of a family of Mordell‑Tornheim type multiple series and its integral analogue as the exponent parameter (x) approaches zero from the positive side. The authors define the discrete series
