Partial-Fraction Decompositions and Harmonic Number Identities

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

By means of partial fraction method, we investigate the decomposition of rational functions. Several striking identities on harmonic numbers and generalized Apery numbers will be established, including the binomial-harmonic number identity associated with Beukers' conjecture on Apery numbers.
