It is well known that the harmonic sum $H_n(1)=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k}$ is never an integer for $n>1$. In 1946, Erd\H{o}s and Niven proved that the nested multiple harmonic sum $H_n(\{1\}^r)=\sum_{1\le k_1<\dots<k_r\le n}\frac{1}{k_1\cdots…

In 2015, S. Hong and C. Wang proved that none of the elementary symmetric functions of $1,1/3,\ldots,1/(2n-1)$ is an integer when $n\geq 2$. In 2017, Kh. Pilehrood, T. Pilehrood and R. Tauraso proved that the multiple harmonic sums…

In 1946, P. Erd\H os and I. Niven proved that there are only finitely many positive integers $n$ for which one or more elementary symmetric functions of $1, 1/2, \ldots , 1/n$ are integers. In this paper we solve this old problem by showing…

Let $a$ and $b$ be positive integers. In 1946, Erd\H{o}s and Niven proved that there are only finitely many positive integers $n$ for which one or more of the elementary symmetric functions of $1/b, 1/(a+b),..., 1/(an-a+b)$ are integers. In…

In 1990, Spie\ss \, gave some identities of harmonic numbers including the types of $\sum_{\ell=1}^n\ell^k H_\ell$, $\sum_{\ell=1}^n\ell^k H_{n-\ell}$ and $\sum_{\ell=1}^n\ell^k H_\ell H_{n-\ell}$. In this paper, we derive several formulas…

It was proven in 1915 by Leopold Theisinger that the $H_n$ harmonic numbers are never integers. In 1996 Conway and Guy have defined the concept of hyperharmonic numbers. The question naturally arises: are there any integer hyperharmonic…

As early as the 1930s, P\'al Erd\H{o}s conjectured that: {\em for any multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\}$, the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ are unbounded.} Considering this conjecture, in this paper we consider…

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…

Based on a recent representation of the psi function due to Guillera and Sondow and independently Boyadzhiev, new closed forms for various series involving harmonic numbers and inverse factorials are derived. A high point of the…

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 give explicit evaluations of the linear and non-linear Euler sums of hyperharmonic numbers $h_{n}^{\left( r\right) }$ with reciprocal binomial coefficients. These evaluations enable us to extend closed form formula of Euler sums of…

This paper presents the evaluation of the Euler sums of generalized hyperharmonic numbers $H_{n}^{\left( p,q\right) }$ \[ \zeta_{H^{\left( p,q\right) }}\left( r\right) =\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty }\dfrac{H_{n}^{\left( p,q\right) }}{n^{r}}%…

\medskip\noindent\textbf{R\'esum\'e.} Soit $l$ un entier et $\ors=(s_1, \dots, s_l)$ une s\'equence d'entiers positifs. Dans ce document, nous \'etudierons les propri\'et\'es arithm\'etique de sommes harmoniques multiples $H(\ors; n)$, qui…

Recently, Dil and Boyadzhiev \cite{AD2015} proved an explicit formula for the sum of multiple harmonic numbers whose indices are the sequence $\left( {{{\left\{ 0 \right\}}_r},1} \right)$. In this paper we show that the sums of multiple…

The generalized hyperharmonic numbers $h_n^{(m)}(k)$ are defined by means of the multiple harmonic numbers. We show that the hyperharmonic numbers $h_n^{(m)}(k)$ satisfy certain recurrence relation which allow us to write them in terms of…

Let $n$ be a positive integer. In 1915, Theisinger proved that if $n\ge 2$, then the $n$-th harmonic sum $\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k}$ is not an integer. Let $a$ and $b$ be positive integers. In 1923, Nagell extended Theisinger's theorem by…

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…

In 1947 M.Hall proved that every real number is the sum of an integer and two real numbers whose partial quotients are at most $4$. Later, Cusick proved that every real number is the sum of an integer and two real numbers whose partial…

We help Alice play a certain "convergence game" against Bob and win the prize, which is a constructive solution to a problem by Erd\H{o}s and Graham, posed in their 1980 book on open questions in combinatorial number theory. Namely, after…
