Sorokin gave in 1996 a new proof that pi is transcendental. It is based on a simultaneous Pad\'e approximation problem involving certain multiple polylogarithms, which evaluated at the point 1 are multiple zeta values equal to powers of pi. In this paper we construct a Pad\'e approximation problem of the same flavour, and prove that it has a unique solution up to proportionality. At the point 1, this provides a rational linear combination of 1 and multiple zeta values in an extended sense that…

On the duality formula for parametrized multiple series
We show that a duality formula for certain parametrized multiple series yields numerous relations among them. As a result, we obtain a new relation among extended multiple zeta values, which is an

Note on relations among multiple zeta-star values
In this note, by using several ideas of other researchers, we derive several relations among multiple zeta-star values from the hypergeometric identities of C. Krattenthaler and T. Rivoal.

Given any non-polynomial G -function $$F(z)=\sum _{k=0}^\infty A_kz^k$$ F ( z ) = ∑ k = 0 ∞ A k z k of radius of convergence R and in the kernel a G -operator $$L_F$$ L F , we consider the G
Vectors of type II Hermite–Padé approximations and a new linear independence criterion
We propose a linear independence criterion, and outline an application of it. Down to its simplest case, it aims at solving this problem: given three real numbers, typically as special values of
