Multiple Zeta Sums Via Box Splines
by

In the ``language" of box splines, the Poisson summation formula is used to evaluate multiple series of the type

(a11j1+ ... +as1js-x1)2m1 ... (a1nj1+ ... +asnjs-xn)2mn
,
where aij in Z and m1, ... , mn in N. The case s=n is studied in greater detail, and a criterion for the factoring of the multiple series into a product of simple series is given. The case x1= ... = xn=0 is also studied in detail. In all cases the sum of the multiple series is the product of an algebraic number and \pi2(m1+ ... +mn). This can be seen as a generalization of Euler's formula for the Riemann zeta function at even positive integers.
