It is well known that the harmonic sum $H_n(1)=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k}$ is never an integer for $n>1$. In 1946, Erd\H{o}s and Niven proved that the nested multiple harmonic sum $H_n(\{1\}^r)=\sum_{1\le k_1<\dots<k_r\le n}\frac{1}{k_1\cdots…
In 2015, S. Hong and C. Wang proved that none of the elementary symmetric functions of $1,1/3,\ldots,1/(2n-1)$ is an integer when $n\geq 2$. In 2017, Kh. Pilehrood, T. Pilehrood and R. Tauraso proved that the multiple harmonic sums…
In 1990, Spie\ss \, gave some identities of harmonic numbers including the types of $\sum_{\ell=1}^n\ell^k H_\ell$, $\sum_{\ell=1}^n\ell^k H_{n-\ell}$ and $\sum_{\ell=1}^n\ell^k H_\ell H_{n-\ell}$. In this paper, we derive several formulas…
We give explicit evaluations of the linear and non-linear Euler sums of hyperharmonic numbers $h_{n}^{\left( r\right) }$ with reciprocal binomial coefficients. These evaluations enable us to extend closed form formula of Euler sums of…
The generalized hyperharmonic numbers $h_n^{(m)}(k)$ are defined by means of the multiple harmonic numbers. We show that the hyperharmonic numbers $h_n^{(m)}(k)$ satisfy certain recurrence relation which allow us to write them in terms of…
The hyperharmonic numbers h_{n}^{(r)} are defined by means of the classical harmonic numbers. We show that the Euler-type sums with hyperharmonic numbers: {\sigma}(r,m)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}((h_{n}^{(r)})/(n^{m})) can be expressed in terms of…
The aim of this paper is to investigate some properties, recurrence relations and identities involving degenerate hyperharmonic numbers, hyperharmonic numbers and degenerate harmonic numbers. In particular, we derive an explicit expression…
Harmonic numbers arise from the truncation of the harmonic series. The $n^\text{th}$ harmonic number is the sum of the reciprocals of each positive integer up to $n$. In addition to briefly introducing the properties of harmonic numbers, we…
In 1946, Erd\"os and Niven proved that no two partial sums of the harmonic series are equal. In this paper, we extend this result by demonstrating that no two partial sums of the hyperharmonic series are equal.
Let $n$ be a positive integer. In 1915, Theisinger proved that if $n\ge 2$, then the $n$-th harmonic sum $\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k}$ is not an integer. Let $a$ and $b$ be positive integers. In 1923, Nagell extended Theisinger's theorem by…
Let $H_n =\sum\limits_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{k}$ be the $n$-th harmonic number. Euler extended it to complex arguments and defined $H_r$ for any complex number $r$ except for the negative integers. In this paper, we give a new proof of the…
In 1946, P. Erd\H os and I. Niven proved that there are only finitely many positive integers $n$ for which one or more elementary symmetric functions of $1, 1/2, \ldots , 1/n$ are integers. In this paper we solve this old problem by showing…
The harmonic numbers are the sequence 1, 1+1/2, 1+1/2+1/3, ... Their asymptotic difference from the sequence of the natural logarithm of the positive integers is Euler's constant gamma. We define a family of natural generalizations of the…
The classical hypergeometric summation theorems are exploited to derive several striking identities on harmonic numbers including those discovered recently by Paule and Schneider (2003).
Harmonic numbers are important in a lot of branches of number theory. By means of the derivative operator, the integral operator, and several summation and transformation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove four series containing…

Recently, Dil and Boyadzhiev \cite{AD2015} proved an explicit formula for the sum of multiple harmonic numbers whose indices are the sequence $\left( {{{\left\{ 0 \right\}}_r},1} \right)$. In this paper we show that the sums of multiple…
In this study, depending on the upper and the lower indices of the hyperharmonic number $h_{n}^{(r)}$, nonlinear recurrence relations are obtained. It is shown that generalized harmonic number and hyperharmonic number can be obtained from…
A composite number $n$ is called Lehmer when $\phi(n) | n - 1$, where $\phi$ is the Euler totient function. In 1932, D.~H.~Lehmer conjectured that there are no composite Lehmer numbers and showed that Lehmer numbers must be odd and…
Linear harmonic number sums had been studied by a variety of authors during the last centuries, but only few results are known about nonlinear Euler sums of quadratic or even higher degree. The first systematic study on nonlinear Euler sums…
