Quasi-shuffle algebras and applications (Q776426)

Summary: Quasi-shuffle algebras have been a useful tool in studying multiple zeta values and related quantities, including multiple polylogarithms, finite multiple harmonic sums, and \(q\)-multiple zeta values. Here we show that two ideas previously considered only for multiple zeta values, the interpolated product of \textit{S. Yamamoto} [J. Algebra 385, 102--114 (2013; Zbl 1336.11062)] and the symmetric sum theorem, can be generalized to any quasi-shuffle algebra. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1437.05004].
