P. Flajolet and B. Salvy [15] prove the famous theorem that a nonlinear Euler sum S i 1 i 2 ···ir,q reduces to a combination of sums of lower orders whenever the weight i 1 + i 2 + · · · + i r + q and the order r are of the same parity. In this article, we develop an approach to evaluate the cubic sums S 1 2 m,p and S 1l 1 l 2 ,l 3 . By using the approach, we establish some relations involving cubic, quadratic and linear Euler sums. Specially, we prove the cubic sums S 1 2 m,m and S 1(2l+1) 2 ,2l+1 are reducible to zeta values, quadratic and linear sums. Moreover, we prove that the two combined sums involving multiple zeta values of depth fourcan be expressed in terms of multiple zeta values of depth ≤ 3, here 2 ≤ m 1 , m 2 , m 3 ∈ N. Finally, we evaluate the alternating cubic Euler sums S13 ,2r+1 and show that it are reducible to alternating quadratic and linear Euler sums. The approach is based on Tornheim type series computations.
