Abstract
In 2015, S. Hong and C. Wang proved that none of the elementary symmetric functions of is an integer when . In 2017, Kh. Pilehrood, T. Pilehrood and R. Tauraso proved that the multiple harmonic sums are never integers with exceptions of and . They also proved that the multiple harmonic star sums are never integers when . In this paper, we consider the odd multiple harmonic sums and the odd multiple harmonic star sums and show that none of these sums is an integer with exception of the trivial case. Besides, we give evaluations of the odd (alternating) multiple harmonic sums with depth one.
