Abstract

For each positive integer mm, the mmth order harmonic numbers are given by Hn(m)=0<kn1km  (n=0,1,2,).H_n^{(m)}=\sum_{0<k\le n}\frac1{k^m}\ \ (n=0,1,2,\ldots). We discover exact values of some series involving harmonic numbers of order not exceeding four. For example, we conjecture that k=0(6k+1)(2kk)3256k(H2k(3)764Hk(3))=25ζ(3)8πG,\sum_{k=0}^\infty(6k+1)\frac{\binom{2k}k^3}{256^k}\left(H_{2k}^{(3)}-\frac{7}{64}H_{k}^{(3)}\right) =\frac{25\zeta(3)}{8\pi}-G, where GG denotes the Catalan constant k=0(1)k/(2k+1)2\sum_{k=0}^\infty(-1)^k/(2k+1)^2. This paper contains 7070 conjectures posed by the author during 2022--2023.
