In correspondence with Goldbach, Euler began investigating series of the form $\sum_{k \geq 1} k^{-m}\left(1 + 2^{-n} + \cdots + k^{-n}\right)$, which are known today as Euler sums. For the case where $n=1$ and $m \geq 2$, Euler was able to…
This paper presents new formulae for the harmonic numbers of order $k$, $H_{k}(n)$, and for the partial sums of two Fourier series associated with them, denoted here by $C^m_{k}(n)$ and $S^m_{k}(n)$. I believe this new formula for…
Using Euler transformation of series we relate values of Hurwitz zeta function at integer and rational values of arguments to certain rapidly converging series where some generalized harmonic numbers appear. The form of these generalized…
In this paper, we study a Dirichlet series generated by powers of harmonic numbers. As an application of these functions, we derive certain series involving harmonic numbers. We also study the analytic properties of these Dirichlet series…
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…
We establish some identities of Euler related sums. By using these identities, we discuss the closed form representations of sums of harmonic numbers and reciprocal parametric binomial coefficients through parametric harmonic numbers,…
In this paper, we introduce a new type of generalized alternating hyperharmonic numbers $H_n^{(p,r,s_{1},s_{2})}$, and show that Euler sums of the generalized alternating hyperharmonic numbers $H_n^{(p,r,s_{1},s_{2})}$ can be expressed in…
The explicit formulas expressing harmonic sums via alternating Euler sums (colored multiple zeta values) are given, and some explicit evaluations are given as applications.
Five series are evaluated in terms of zeta values. Three of the series involve harmonic numbers and one involves Stirling numbers of the first kind. The evaluation of these series is reduced to the evaluation of certain integrals, including…
Harmonic numbers have been studied since antiquity, while hyperharmonic numbers were intoduced by Conway and Guy in 1996. The degenerate harmonic numbers and degenerate hyperharmonic numbers are their respective degenerate versions. The aim…
We present an easily defined countable family of permutations of the natural numbers for which explicit rearrangements (i.e., the sums induced by the permutations) can be computed. The digamma function proves to be the key tool for the…
We aim to investigate the four types of variant Euler harmonic sums. Also, as corollaries, we provide particular examples of our core findings, some of whose further instances are evaluated in terms of basic and well-known functions as well…
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.
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…

The divergence of the harmonic series is proved by direct comparison with a series whose nth partial sum telescopes to the natural logarithm of n. The key idea is to apply the classical inequality x>=log(1+x) (valid for x>-1) with x=1/k and…
Our main source of inspiration was a talk by Hendrik Lenstra on harmonic numbers, which are numbers whose only prime factors are two or three. Gersonides proved 675 years ago that one can be written as a difference of harmonic numbers in…
Direct links between generalized harmonic numbers, linear Euler sums and Tornheim double series are established in a more perspicuous manner than is found in existing literature. We show that every linear Euler sum can be decomposed into a…
Harmonic frames of prime order are investigated. The primary focus is the enumeration of inequivalent harmonic frames, with the exact number given by a recursive formula. The key to this result is a one-to-one correspondence developed…
Multiple harmonic-like numbers are studied using the generating function approach. A closed form is stated for binomial sums involving these numbers and two additional parameters. Several corollaries and examples are presented which are…
