We define a class of rational numbers including, as a particular case, the classical harmonic numbers. For one particular instance we apply it to the expansion into powers series of a special function, and also detail its relashionship with…
We prove and generalize some recent conjectures of Z.-W. Sun on infinite series whose summands involve products of harmonic numbers and several binomial coefficients. We evaluate various classes of infinite sums in closed form by…
Classical binomial identities are established by giving probabilistic interpretations to the summands. The examples include Vandermonde identity and some generalizations.
We formulate several polynomial identities. One side of these identities has a nice simple form. Whereas the other has a form of a polynomial whose coefficients contain binomial coefficients double factorials or (and) rising factorials. The…
We give some theoretical and computational results on "random" harmonic sums with prime numbers, and more generally, for integers with a fixed number of prime factors.
In this paper, we continue our investigation of double sums where the inner sum is binomial but incomplete. We prove many new results for these types of double sums associated with binomial transform pairs. As applications we deduce new…
The duality is a fundamental property of the finite multiple harmonic sums (MHS). In this paper, we prove a duality result for certain generalizations of MHS which appear naturally as the differences of MHS. We also prove a formula for the…
In the present article a new method of deriving integral representations of combinations and partitions in terms of harmonic products has been established. This method may be relevant to statistical mechanics and to number theory.
In this sequel to arXiv:0905.3327, we continue to study the congruence properties of the alternating version of multiple harmonic sums. As contrast to the study of multiple harmonic sums where Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials…
In this paper, we evaluate some series of the form $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{ak^2+bk+c}{k(3k-1)(3k-2)m^k\binom{4k}k}.$$ For example, we prove that $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{(5k^2-4k+1)8^{k}}{k(3k-1)(3k-2)\binom{4k}k}=\frac{3}2\pi$$ and…
Two new generalized Fibonacci number summation identities are stated and proved, and two other new generalized Fibonacci number summation identities are derived from these, of which two special cases are already known in literature.
In this paper, we establish some expressions of Mneimneh-type binomial sums involving multiple harmonic-type sums in terms of finite sums of Stirling numbers, Bell numbers and some related variables. In particular, we present some new…
For each positive integer $m$, the $m$th order harmonic numbers are given by $$H_n^{(m)}=\sum_{0<k\le n}\frac1{k^m}\ \ (n=0,1,2,\ldots).$$ We discover exact values of some series involving harmonic numbers of order not exceeding four. For…
We evaluate in closed form several classes of finite trigonometric sums. Two general methods are used. The first is new and involves sums of roots of unity. The second uses contour integration and extends a previous method used by two of…
We propose an algebraic framework generalizing several variants of Prony's method and explaining their relations. This includes Hankel and Toeplitz variants of Prony's method for the decomposition of multivariate exponential sums,…
We use elementary methods to establish three key recurrence relations: one for derangement numbers, a second for harmonic numbers, and a third for degenerate harmonic numbers. Our results not only contribute to the understanding of the…
We extend the Reed Dawson identity for Knuth's old sum with a complex parameter, and we offer two separate hypergeometric series-based proofs of this generalization, and we apply this generalization to introduce binomial-harmonic sum…
Some years ago, the harmonic polynomial was introduced in order to understand better the harmonic topological index; for instance, it allows to obtain bounds of the harmonic index of the main products of graphs. Here, we obtain several…
Polynomial reduction, designed first for hypergeometric terms, can be used to automatically prove and generate new hypergeometric identities from old ones. In this paper, we extend the reduction method to holonomic sequences. As…
We derive several symmetric identities for Bernoulli and Euler polynomials which imply some known identities. Our proofs depend on the new technique developed in part I and some identities obtained in [European J. Combin. 24(2003),…
