On multisets, interpolated multiple zeta values and limit laws (Q2121791)

Summary: In this work we discuss a parameter \(\sigma\) on weighted \(k\)-element multisets of \([n]= \{1,\dots ,n\}\). The sums of weighted \(k\)-multisets are related to \(k\)-subsets, \(k\)-multisets, as well as special instances of truncated interpolated multiple zeta values. We study properties of this parameter using symbolic combinatorics. We (re)derive and extend certain identities for \(\zeta^t_n(\{m\}_k)\). Moreover, we introduce random variables on the \(k\)-element multisets and derive their distributions, as well as limit laws for \(k\) or \(n\) tending to infinity.
