The sum is S = n = 1 ∑ ∞ k = n + 1 ∑ ∞ k 6 H n = = = = n = 1 ∑ ∞ k = n + 1 ∑ ∞ m = 1 ∑ n m k 6 1 = m = 1 ∑ ∞ k = m + 1 ∑ ∞ n = m ∑ k − 1 m k 6 1 m = 1 ∑ ∞ k = m + 1 ∑ ∞ m k 6 k − m = k = 2 ∑ ∞ m = 1 ∑ k − 1 ( m k 5 1 − k 6 1 ) k = 2 ∑ ∞ k 5 H k − 1 − k = 2 ∑ ∞ k 6 k − 1 = k = 1 ∑ ∞ ( k + 1 ) 5 H k − ζ ( 5 ) + ζ ( 6 ) k = 1 ∑ ∞ ( ( k + 1 ) 5 H k + 1 − ( k + 1 ) 6 1 ) − ζ ( 5 ) + ζ ( 6 ) = k = 1 ∑ ∞ k 5 H k − ζ ( 5 ) = S 1 , 5 − ζ ( 5 ) Using Euler's sum S 1 , q = k = 1 ∑ ∞ k q H k = ( 1 + 2 1 q ) ζ ( q + 1 ) − 2 1 k = 1 ∑ q − 2 ζ ( k + 1 ) ζ ( q − k ) for any q ≥ 2 , we deduce that S = 2 7 ζ ( 6 ) − 2 1 [ ζ ( 2 ) ζ ( 4 ) + ζ ( 3 ) 2 + ζ ( 4 ) ζ ( 2 ) ] − ζ ( 5 ) = 5 4 0 π 6 − 2 1 ζ ( 3 ) 2 − ζ ( 5 ) making the answer 6 + 5 4 0 + 3 + 2 + 5 = 5 5 6 .
Sir I was working on a theorem which I haven't seen anywhere. I have found a general form of a summation. It involves Multiple Zeta Values. I wanted to simplify the zeta values to something simpler. But I couldn't simply or find a source to learn simplification of MZV. Can you help?

Let S = n = 1 ∑ ∞ k = n + 1 ∑ ∞ k 6 H n = n = 1 ∑ ∞ k = n ∑ ∞ k 6 H n − n = 1 ∑ ∞ n 6 H n
Since i = k ∑ n j = k ∑ i a i , j = j = k ∑ n i = j ∑ n a i , j , we have,
S = k = 1 ∑ ∞ n = 1 ∑ k k 6 H n − n = 1 ∑ ∞ n 6 H n
Note that n = 1 ∑ k H n = ( k + 1 ) H k − k
⟹ S = k = 1 ∑ ∞ k 6 ( k + 1 ) H k − k − n = 1 ∑ ∞ n 6 H n
= k = 1 ∑ ∞ k 5 H k − k = 1 ∑ ∞ k 5 1
= 5 4 0 π 6 − 2 1 ζ ( 3 ) 2 − ζ ( 5 )
where the last equality follows from Euler's Sum.
⟹ Ans. = 5 5 6
