Abstract

This paper presents formulae for the sum of the terms of a harmonic progression of order kk with integer parameters, HPk(n)\mathrm{HP}_k(n), and for the partial sums of its two associated Fourier series, Ckz(a,b,n)C^z_{k}(a,b,n) and Skz(a,b,n)S^z_{k}(a,b,n). HPk(n)\mathrm{HP}_k(n) is built from the ground up, with a power series for 1/(aj+b)k1/(aj+b)^k that is summed over jj using Faulhaber's formula. These new formulae are a generalization of the formulae created in a previous paper and were achieved using a slightly modified version of the reasoning employed before.
