Abstract

In the spirit of Euler sums we develop a set of identities for finite sums of products of harmonic numbers in higher order and reciprocal binomial coefficients. The new results complement some Euler sums of the type

Keywords: harmonic numbers; binomial coefficients; Gamma function; polygamma function; combinatorial series identities; summation formulas; partial fraction approach
