We give a proof of two identities involving binomial sums at infinity conjectured by Z-W Sun. In order to prove these identities, we use a recently presented method i.e. we view the series as specializations of generating series and derive…

In this paper, we shall prove two conjectures of Z.-W. Sun concerning Ap\'ery-like series. One of the series is alternating whereas the other one is not. Our main strategy is to convert the series (resp.~the alternating series) to…

The harmonic numbers are those $H_n=\sum_{0<k\le n}\frac1k\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. In this paper we confirm over ten conjectural series identities with summands involving the binomial coefficient $\binom{4k}k$ and harmonic numbers. For example,…
