This paper presents formulae for the sum of the terms of a harmonic progression of order $k$ with integer parameters, $\mathrm{HP}_k(n)$, and for the partial sums of its two associated Fourier series, $C^z_{k}(a,b,n)$ and $S^z_{k}(a,b,n)$.…

For $k=1,2,\ldots$ let $H_k$ denote the harmonic number $\sum_{j=1}^k 1/j$. In this paper we establish some new congruences involving harmonic numbers. For example, we show that for any prime $p>3$ we have…
The harmonic polylogarithms (hpl's) are introduced. They are a generalization of Nielsen's polylogarithms, satisfying a product algebra (the product of two hpl's is in turn a combination of hpl's) and forming a set closed under the…
This paper builds on the research initiated by Boyadzhiev, but introduces generalized harmonic numbers, \[ H_n(\alpha)= \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{\alpha^{k}}{k}, \] which enable the derivation of new identities as well as the reformulation of…

Summation by parts is used to find the sum of a finite series of generalized harmonic numbers involving a specific polynomial or rational function. The Euler-Maclaurin formula for sums of powers is used to find the sums of some finite…
We extend to the case l=2 the study of the new generalized spherical harmonics introduced recently, and worked out only for the case l=1. We present some of the properties of the new quantities and clarify how they are related to standard…
We derive $p$-adic expansions for the generalized Harmonic numbers $H^{(j)}_{p-1}$ and $H^{(j)}_{\frac{p-1}{2}}$ involving the Bernoulli numbers $B_j$ and the the base-2 Fermat quotient $q_p$. While most of our results are not new, we…
The harmonic number $H_k=\sum_{j=1}^k1/j(k=1,2,3\cdots)$ play an important role in mathematics. Let $p>3$ be a prime. In this paper, we establish a number of congruences with the form $\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}k^mH_k^n(\mod p^2)$ for…

We prove several supercongruences involving the harmonic number of order two $H_n^{(2)}:=\sum_{k=1}^n1/k^2$. For example, if $p>5$ is prime and $\alpha$ is $p$-integral, then we can completely determine $$…
