Abstract
In this note, we derive a finite summation formula and an infinite summation formula involving Harmonic numbers of order up to some order by means of several definite integrals.
1 Introduction
For
From (1), we note that
As is well known, the Beta function is defined for
From (2) we note that
The Harmonic numbers are defined by
and more generally, for any
In this note, we derive a finite summation formula in (5) and an infinite summation formula (6), where
Theorem 1
Let
where
so that
Example:

2 Derivation of summation formulas
On one hand, we first observe that
On othe other hand, we also see that
Thus, from (9) and (10) we note that
From (10), we have
Let
Note that
On the other hand, we also have
Thus, we have
Thus, according to (16), we obtain
From (14) and (17), we note that
By (18), we have
Thus, we have
From (13), we note that
Hence, by (21), we obtain
Thus, we note that
Therefore, by (21) and (24), we obtain
Note that
Now, we begin to prove Theorem 1. Let
Let
As shown in (15) and (16),
and its derivative is given by
Repeated differentiations give us
In general, we let
Thus, we obtain the recurrence relation for
Now, from (28) and (29), we obtain
Letting
Multiplying both sides of (34) by
Finally, we note that
Combining (32) and (34)–(36) altogether, we obtain our main results in Theorem 1.
Finally, following the suggestion of one of the reviewers, after slight modifications we state the results in (12), (20), and (27) as a theorem, which are special cases of Theorem 1.
