Abstract
For odd \(N\ge 5\), we establish a short exact sequence about motivic double zeta values \(\zeta ^{\mathfrak {m}}(r,N-r)\) with \(r\ge 3\) odd, \(N-r\ge 2\). From this we classify all the relations among depth-graded motivic double zeta values \(\zeta ^{\mathfrak {m}}(r,N-r)\) with \(r\ge 3\) odd, \(N-r\ge 2\). As a corollary, we confirm a conjecture of Zagier on the rank of a matrix which concerns relations among multiple zeta values of odd weight.
