Abstract

In the present paper, we determine the sums j=1p1Hj(s1)Hj(s3)js2\sum_{j=1}^{p-1}\frac{H_j^{(s_1)}H_j^{(s_3)}}{j^{s_2}} and j=1p1Hj(s1)Hj(s3)Hj(s4)js2\sum_{j=1}^{p-1}\frac{H_j^{(s_1)}H_j^{(s_3)}H_j^{(s_4)}}{j^{s_2}} modulo pp and modulo p2p^2 in certain cases. This is done by using multiple harmonic sums of length three and four, as well as, many other results. In addition, We recover three congruences conjectured by Z.-W Sun and solved later by the author himself and R. Me\v{s}trovi\'c.
