Dirichlet type extensions of Euler sums by Xu, Ce, Wang, Weiping

“…By using the method of residue computations, we establish the explicit formulas for the (alternating) linear and quadratic Euler $T$-sums and $\tilde{S}$-sums, from which, the parity theorems of Hoffman’s double and triple $t$-values and Kaneko–Tsumura’s double and triple $T$-values are further obtained. As supplements, we also show that the linear $T$-sums and $\tilde{S}$-sums are expressible in terms of colored multiple zeta values. …”
