A generalization of the duality for multiple harmonic sums

Number Theory 2009-05-12 v3

Abstract

The duality is a fundamental property of the finite multiple harmonic sums (MHS). In this paper, we prove a duality result for certain generalizations of MHS which appear naturally as the differences of MHS. We also prove a formula for the differences of these generalized MHS.
