$\ds\left(\mi{t_1}{k_1},\cdots,\mi{t_r}{k_r}\right)$と$\ds\left(\mi{u_1}{l_1},\cdots,\mi{u_s}{l_s}\right)$について、その調和積を
\begin{align}
\left(\mi{t_1}{k_1},\cdots,\mi{t_r}{k_r}\right)*\left(\mi{u_1}{l_1},\cdots,\mi{u_s}{l_s}\right):=&\left(\left(\mi{t_1}{k_1},\cdots,\mi{t_{r-1}}{k_{r-1}}\right)*\left(\mi{u_1}{l_1},\cdots,\mi{u_s}{l_s}\right),\mi{t_r}{k_r}\right) \\
&+\left(\left(\mi{t_1}{k_1},\cdots,\mi{t_r}{k_r}\right)*\left(\mi{u_1}{l_1},\cdots,\mi{u_{s-1}}{l_{s-1}}\right),\mi{u_s}{l_s}\right) \\
&+\left(\left(\mi{t_1}{k_1},\cdots,\mi{t_{r-1}}{k_{r-1}}\right)*\left(\mi{u_1}{l_1},\cdots,\mi{u_{s-1}}{l_{s-1}}\right),\mi{t_ru_s}{k_r+l_s}\right)
\end{align}
で定義する。
$$L\left(\left(\mi{t_1}{k_1},\cdots,\mi{t_r}{k_r}\right)*\left(\mi{u_1}{l_1},\cdots,\mi{u_s}{l_s}\right)\right)=L\left(\mi{t_1}{k_1},\cdots,\mi{t_r}{k_r}\right)L\left(\mi{u_1}{l_1},\cdots,\mi{u_s}{l_s}\right)$$が成り立つ。
\begin{align} L\left(\mi{\bm t}{\bm k}\right)L\left(\mi{\bm u}{\bm l}\right)=&\sum_{0< n_1<\cdots< n_r}\frac{\bm t^{\bm n}}{\bm n^{\bm k}}\sum_{0< m_1<\cdots< m_s}\frac{\bm s^{\bm m}}{\bm m^{\bm l}} \\ =&\sum_{\mi{\mi{0< n_1<\cdots< n_r}{0< m_1<\cdots< m_s}}{n_r< m_s}}\frac{\bm t^{\bm n}\bm s^{\bm m}}{\bm n^{\bm k}\bm m^{\bm l}} \\ &+\sum_{\mi{\mi{0< n_1<\cdots< n_r}{0< m_1<\cdots< m_s}}{n_r>m_s}}\frac{\bm t^{\bm n}\bm s^{\bm m}}{\bm n^{\bm k}\bm m^{\bm l}} \\ &+\sum_{\mi{\mi{0< n_1<\cdots< n_r}{0< m_1<\cdots< m_s}}{n_r=m_s}}\frac{\bm t^{\bm n}\bm s^{\bm m}}{\bm n^{\bm k}\bm m^{\bm l}} \\ =&L\left(\left(\mi{\bm t}{\bm k}\right)*\left(\mi{\bm u}{\bm l}\right)\right) \\ \end{align}
$\ds(\ol2)*(\ol2)=\left(\mi{-1}{2}\right)*\left(\mi{-1}{2}\right)=2\left(\mi{-1}{2},\mi{-1}{2}\right)+\left(\mi{1}{4}\right)=2(\ol2,\ol2)+(4)$
だから、$\zeta(\ol2)=2\zeta(\ol2,\ol2)+\zeta(4)$を得る。$\ds\zeta(\ol2)^2=\dfrac{\pi^4}{144},\zeta(4)=\frac{\pi^4}{90}$なので$\zeta(\ol2,\ol2)=-\dfrac{\pi^4}{480}$が分かる。
前ページで定義した${\cal R}_N$にも同様にシャッフル積を入れると、$u,v\in\R_N$について$\ds\int_0^1u\sh v=\int_0^1u\int_0^1v$が分かる。
