Algorithmic and combinatoric aspects of multiple harmonic sums

چکیده
Ordinary generating series of multiple harmonic sums admit a full singular expansion in the basis of functions {(1 − z) log(1 − z)}α∈Z,β∈N, near the singularity z = 1. A constructive proof of this result is given, and, by combinatoric aspects, an explicit evaluation of Taylor coefficients of functions in some polylogarithmic algebra is obtained. In particular, the asymptotic expansion of multiple harmonic sums is easily deduced.

Analytic and Algorithmic Aspects of Generalized Harmonic Sums and Polylogarithms
In recent three–loop calculations of massive Feynman integrals within Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and, e.g., in recent combinatorial problems the so-called generalized harmonic sums (in short S-sums) arise. They are characterized by rational (or real) numerator weights also different from ±1. In this article we explore the algorithmic and analytic properties of these sums systematically. We wo...
متن کاملON q-ANALOG OF WOLSTENHOLME TYPE CONGRUENCES FOR MULTIPLE HARMONIC SUMS
Multiple harmonic sums are iterated generalizations of harmonic sums. Recently Dilcher has considered congruences involving q-analogs of these sums in depth one. In this paper we shall study the homogeneous case for arbitrary depth by using generating functions and shuffle relations of the q-analog of multiple harmonic sums. At the end, we also consider some non-homogeneous cases.
متن کاملQuasi-symmetric functions and mod p multiple harmonic sums
We present a number of results about (finite) multiple harmonic sums modulo a prime, which provide interesting parallels to known results about multiple zeta values (i.e., infinite multiple harmonic series). In particular, we prove a “duality” result for mod p harmonic sums similar to (but distinct from) that for multiple zeta values. We also exploit the Hopf algebra structure of the quasi-symm...
متن کاملMod p structure of alternating and non-alternating multiple harmonic sums
The well-known Wolstenholme’s Theorem says that for every prime p > 3 the (p−1)-st partial sum of the harmonic series is congruent to 0 modulo p2. If one replaces the harmonic series by ∑ k≥1 1/n for k even, then the modulus has to be changed from p2 to just p. One may consider generalizations of this to multiple harmonic sums (MHS) and alternating multiple harmonic sums (AMHS) which are partia...
متن کاملSupercongruences Involving Multiple Harmonic Sums and Bernoulli Numbers
In this paper, we study some supercongruences involving multiple harmonic sums by using Bernoulli numbers. Our main theorem generalizes previous results by many different authors and confirms a conjecture by the authors and their collaborators. In the proof, we will need not only the ordinary multiple harmonic sums in which the indices are ordered, but also some variant forms in which the indic...
