Mahler measure of some n-variable polynomial families Original Research Article

The Mahler measures of some n-variable polynomial families are given in terms of special values of the Riemann zeta function and a Dirichlet L-series, generalizing the results of Lalín (J. Number Theory 103 (2003) 85–108). The technique introduced in this work also motivates certain identities among Bernoulli numbers and symmetric functions.
